Yup!

I also remember a time when adverts had some creativity such as this and weren't all for Ambulance chasing claims / Sofa shops / Insurance.

Ahh.. my youth.

Ah the early 90s  :D. A time of great guitar related beer ads.

Can anyone remember which beer ad that had 2 Les Pauls, one a 59 and one a copy, both playing the dueling banjo theme from Deliverance?

To my mind, those are really good adverts - not only because of the singing, but because you can't possibly forget what they're advertising.

There are lots of clever, arty adverts but they don't do the job if you don't remember the product.  Car adverts are the worst - I think "oh, it's that car advert" but buggered if I can remember what car it is.

The greatest adverts of all time, IMO, are:

Where in the world?  PC World!

and

Currie Motors!  Nice peo-ple..... to-do-busi-ness-with!
