| Product: | I'm not sure what product was being advertised - I think it was for a restaurant or something |
| Description: | A very funny advert that was giving tips on how to succeed at the workplace, or something to that effect. The tip was to always agree with what you boss says. It then shows a boss spilling something (if I remember correctly) and he starts saying "Stupid...", but he is quickly interrupted by an overly eager employee saying something to the effect of "Yes, you are stupid. You're a moron... etc." |
| Comment: | Can anyone remember what this advert was advertising? Can anyone remember the advert itself? |

| Description: | Shows a woman in orange "uniform" behind what one assumes to be glass at a prison, with her daughter visting her. The daughter says something like "when are you going to get out of here?" and the mother replies, "in a while". After a pause, the daughter says "I love you momma" and the mother replies "I love you too, baby". The shot then pans outwards to reveal the mother cleaning a bath. |
| Comment: | Please can you upload this advert. I'd love to get hold of it. I think it was brilliant - probably too brilliant for its own good since everyone remembers and loves the advert but no one can quite remember what product is being advertised. Hi Douglas. I'll have to wait for the ad to be aired again so that I can capture it. When that happens, I'll definitely upload it. - Webmaster. |

| Description: | Millions of bouncing balls bounce through the streets of San Francisco, followed by a little frog jumping out from a drain pipe. |
| Comment: | One of the most visually appealling ads at the moment. This one wins because it uses such a simple base from which to advertise the brilliant quality and colour of the Bravia range. Plus the song totally complements the visuals! |

| Comment: | Lovely! You should see the kids faces. They sit fascinated watching all the parts of the ad. In this ad you can see something new every time you watch it. I do not know if it is ads only on the list but I just had to say something about Coke! Now that I have found this site you will hear from me quite often! |

| Comment: | I found this ad in absolute bad taste! I know of a few young kids that asked their moms is this how Heaven really looks. Spend the money for this ad rather to help the little kids. The big owner of Virgin should be ashamed! |

| Comment: | I found it one of the sharpest ads I have seen for a long time. Especially the fact that the same actor who was used in the Momentum advert climbing in the back of the car was used. I love watching ads, they are like soapies to me! |

| Description: | A guy walks up to a vending machine, drops his coins in and selects a Coke. We are then show an animation of how the Coke bottle (bottles in vending machines!) is prepared by a whole menagerie of cute critters who are inside the vending machine. It ends with the bottle sliding down a huge slide with all the little creatures cheering it on. |
| Comment: | This must be one of the cutest and best adverts Coke has ever put out, and it makes me want to go find a Coke vending machine! |

| Description: | Guy is sitting at the bar having his drink, dipping his finger and making a circular motion around his glass with a smile, with ladies watching him doing that. |
| Comment: | It depends how you look at it, but for me it is so seductive. I can't wait to go home and wait for it to show; I go crazy when I see it. The song complements it even more. The best one ever, so in all, brilliant, love it, and "BIG UP" |

| Comment: | Superb - best ad on TV! It does not only show good side (the lekker-kuier side) of Klipdrift, but also HOW you must enjoy it.. "met ys, ja!" Brilliant! 10/10. And to use two different nationalities and a third language (English) shows that everybode can enjoy Klipdrift! |

| Comment: | If Altech Netstar lives up to what it advertises, it shows that they're on a wild goose chase. The Yeti is the Abominable Snowman which is "found" in the Arctic Circle. The Bigfoot is a USA myth. |

| Description: | Feel good Nivea advert, where the girl is playing guitar on a speaker box. Is looking for the song played. |
| Feedback: | According to Sue Reynolds, Demand Manager of Beiersdorf Consumer Products, the music was specially created for the ad by the band called Eardrum in Germany. It seems like the song is not commercially available. If anyone has any more information, let us know. |
