Here are the Hall of Famers from 2001 (remember this is UK only).

Others of that year include Durex ‘Square’, VW Passat ‘Ice Cream’, VW Lupo ‘Baby’, Kick Racism Out Of Football ‘Dear White Fella’, Paedophiles Online ‘You Never Know’, Stella ‘Plague’, Playstation ‘Wolfman’, and Cup-a-Soup ‘Marathon’, which I couldn’t find online.
I know the anti smoking one seems pretty straight but I’ve seen it about fifty times and I cry every single time I see it, so it goes in the HoF (this is a benign dictatorship, not a democracy).
Not sure the new Polo ad will make this year’s Hall of Fame. Shame it’s not for a hybrid, as it seems to be a combination of several ads from the last few years.
The ‘Think’ one, whilst brilliant, reminds me of the Steve Coogan ‘Pool’ documentary on ‘The Day Today’.
“In 1982, no-one died. In 1983, no-one died. In 1984, no-one died. In 1985, no-one died. In 1986, someone died. In 1987, no-one died…”
All TBWA did was stick a Playstation logo at the end of Tim Hope’s fully formed piece.
I’m not saying that’s good or bad, I’m just saying.
Hey, what year was the Grolsch ‘Schtop, this blue movie’s not ready yet? Where is this man’s moustache? Why is he actually fixing the fridge?’ ad?
Anyone want to talk about the 100 ton elephant in the room?
