Royal wedding fun:
And I’m sure you’ve all seen this, but here it is for the record (and for the record, I think it’s good, partly because it works well whether you’ve seen the original or not):

Others of the year: Honda ‘Choir‘, Sky ‘Come Home To The Simpsons‘, Audi ‘Satellite‘ and DETR ‘The Day You Went To Work‘.
Slim Pickins, and I only put ‘Choir’ in because everyone else seems to like it.
And I’m not sure ‘Paint’ would be a classic in other years.

Travelocity ‘Moustache’ (not online), Guardian ‘Wimbledon’ (couldn’t find it online), VW ‘Life In A Day’, (ditto), Kleenex Velvet ‘Factory’ (why will no fucker put their ads online?), Observer ‘From Abba to Zappa‘, Levi’s ‘Bike‘, Playstation ‘Golfers vs Pornstars‘, Citroen ‘Transformer‘, Orange ‘Swayze‘, Orange ‘Astin‘ and John Smiths ‘Showstopper‘.
Good year, huh? I could also have included other ads from Orange, Levi’s and Life on The Playstation, but that’s fifteen corkers already, and with the high quality of the HoFers, it could be the best year overall.
Here are the best UK ads from 2003:
Other very good ones include Tango ‘Postman‘ and ‘Factory‘, Tesco Cherokee ‘Starbursts‘, Sony ‘Thank You’ (can’t find it online), Johnnie Walker ‘Fish‘, VW ‘Bollocks’, London Film Festival ‘Director’ (couldn’t find it online), Honda ‘Sense‘ and Wrigley’s ‘Dogbreath‘.
This was on at 5:30 PM during a screening of Turner and Hooch on the Comedy Channel:

Good year for BBH and Danny Kleinman, eh?
Hmmm…

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).
