I love this advert. It's simple but effective. Way to turn an internet meme to your advantage!

Another awesome advert.

This time advertising the National Lottery by showing where the money goes.

It's one for all you soldiers and ex-soldiers.

Good one. Kinda reminded me of a scene from "Saving Private Ryan"

Another excellent advert. It's not often car ads get me, but this is lovely.

Doesn't do it for me, despite the Brazil-ness. Pretty conventional, as car ads go, at least on this side of the pond. Maybe it's really special over there.

Sorry, Dana.
Do not likey.

In fact I'd be hard pressed to think of an advert I do like right now.
Where are all the great singalong ones?

I'll get back to you on that.

I think what I like about it is the depth of character in the animation. And I like the computer game setting. It appeals to me as a gamer, because it seems to be drawing on gaming tropes.

Wasn't there a moment during some Abba concert when a member of some royal family was dancing to "Dancing Queen"?
