Line 241:
* Guinness ads are particularly well known, with "Surfer" ("he waits, that's what he does"), "Noitulove" (which features three men backwards evolving to the tune of "The Rhythm of Life") and a long chain of dominoes ad. "You don't pour a Guinness, you bring it to life." The ad itself is pretty awesome though.
* Halifax has achieved some notability in recent years with its rewritten pop songs featuring real staff from the company. Most Halifax ads traditionally feature a large crowd of people forming an X in the middle of a wide open area.
* Honda's "Cog" ad- a 2-minute long [[Rube Goldberg Device|Rube Goldberg machine]] constructed from car parts. It was actually two sequences spliced together, but otherwise used no tricks. They're known as a 'Heath Robinson' contraption, in the UK.
** "Cog" was also notable because all the parts came from one Civic - a pre-production prototype that was precisely-engineered, hand-crafted, and worth a few million dollars before the ad company took it apart.
* Hovis bread had a campaign featuring nostalgic reconstructions of Britain in the 1920s and '30s, with the tagline "still as good for you today as it's always been". Ironically they were accompanied by a brass band playing Dvorak's ''New World Symphony'', a piece of music which had been inspired by the American West.
