Amazing Ads - Ad campaigns that aren't crappy

[Lunete]

The most important commercial in television history:

The 1984 Corvette had a extended-length commercial with the most synthwave visuals possible, right down to a slalom where the obstacles are "laser" pyramids.

Another commercial that's emblematic of the early 1980s is this 7-Up commercial featuring Pac-Man and a jingle to the tune of "Bette Davis' Eyes".

Spoiler: 7-Up: the Difference is Clear

This animated synthpop Bubblicious Commercial from circa 1984 had high school kids flying through a pinball machine in space with a stellar version of Carmen Miranda (the fruit hat dancing lady who had already been dead nearly three decades by the time this commercial was made).

Every Flex Tape/Seal commercial is in the top tier of best infomercials.

At first glance I legitimately thought this thread said "Amazing AIDS"

@User names must be unique

I consider PSAs to be ads. They're advertising an ideology that a group or government is pushing.

But Daddy, why'd'ya have to call it STAGG?

Not a Halo fan, but they made a fantastic ad out of this scale model battlefield with miniatures.

It won some ad award, apparently: https://adage.com/article/the-creat...y-award-winner-halo-3-launch-campaign/127034/

When I think of amazing, animated ads, those from the UK always come to my mind, in particular those animated by studios like the ones Richard Williams, Oscar Grillo, Eric Goldberg and others operated.

I was always pissed that the scene in the ad never happens in the game.

I always liked the Jack in the Box ad campaign from right after the food poisoning scandal. It was definitely successful considering they’ve gotten back onto their feet.

That makes me remember when I used that as a Livejournal icon. Donno why, but it really pissed some people off, lol.

While not amazing, I'm reminded of this animated commercial for dog biscuits done by somehow who probably wished they were at Disney's!

Always found the Segata Sanshiro line of Sega Saturn ads to be pretty funny. The Old Spice ads with Isaiah Mustafa and Terry Crews were amusing as well.

Sagata Sanchiro was brought back by a noodle company or at least a real good lookalike

Amazing only by grace of the fact they managed to air the actor of Sheldon from Big Bang Theory feeding off of a wolf.

Japan only but thanks to Youtube, the whold world can know George Romero was behind making this. He probably would of done a better job in making Resident Evil movies than the guy that casted his wife as the lead.
