What's Your Favourite Ad?

Advertising, and creativity in general, is such a subjective thing. There have been plenty of ads that I've absolutely loved and most other people have hated, and vice versa. I'm sure it's the same for everyone. I guess that's what's great about it. It's also what makes it desperately tricky and unpredictable.

Out of curiosity (or is that boredom?) I decided to do an online search to see what the most popular ads are. I decided I'd use the most scientific and rigorous resource I had available to me - Google images. The integrity of my findings is therefore unquestionable.

The following are the first 6 images, in order, that came up when I searched 'best ad ever'. I actually searched 'best ad you've ever seen' first but none of the first 15-odd images were ads, go figure.













I like most of them. Not sure why the Rafa Nadal one is there though.

Note: I'm not an idiot. I know that Google images doesn't rank images by popularity or anything. I'm no expert but I understand how SEO works. This is just a fun way to check out what ads people like or what other people think are the best ads ever.
