Ad of the Decade

Following on from Dewi's post about funny commercials, we had a tv show here on Sunday called Ad of the Decade which was a top twenty list of ad's (advertisments, commercials) as voted for by viewers of the tv station that was airing the show, ITV.

The commercial that Dewi likes so much was in the top twenty, but only at number 19. It was one place ahead of the Budweiser whassup commercial, which was one of the few american ones that made the list.

The winning ad was for a company that makes bread, Hovis. It was filmed in Liverpool and depicts a boy buying a loaf of bread, and on the way home he witnesses important scenes of the last 120 years, which is how long the company has been making bread for.

I found a website here that has recreated the list and has links to the ad's, in case you want to see them.
