Obligatory post of the Legend of Zelda commercials.
I’m pretty sure this commerical has been running for literally my entire life.
I’m 29.
God that commercial ran every summer for years.
I’ll start with what is undoubtedly the most famous political ad of all time and move on from there.
This was made to play in movie theaters back in ’82.
Animation by Aardman
Animation by Production I.G.
Lots of famous folks have made memorable commercials including…
Jim Henson
Michael Cimino
George A. Romero
Ridley Scott
Michel Gondry
This was done three years before The Matrix.
Spike Jonze
Robert Abel and Associates were a company that made a name for themselves with early CG and elaborate animation in their commercials.
That last commercial even had its own making of!
YOU’RE ON A MISSION

The only commercial I really remember is this fanta thing
“Smash” is a brand of instant mashed potatoes in the UK. It’s known for two things - tasting like crap, and these ads from the 80s.
This ad for “Tango” fizzy orange drink was actually pulled in the 90s due to fears that kids would imitate the slap.
It was replaced with this version, which swaps the slap with a weird hand-covering kiss thing. I guess that’s…better?
I think commercials and only one comes to mind.

then there were those old caprisun ads that had some Yu-Gi-Oh revenge magic in them forever branding these kids as capriminals (and collectibles)
Here’s a pre-YouTube viral video.
Holy shit I never knew about those Twin Peak coffee ads!
I genuinely want to know how they got the cast together to do those, and who made them. I’m guessing they were done on set during season 2. And in case it wasn’t clear enough from those ads, Japan loves Twin Peaks. Pretty much the only place Fire Walk With Me was an immediate critical and commercial success was Japan.
i remember seeing this one a lot as a kid, just nostalgia
…spanish bubsy commercial that is the only one i could find after a simple search

Ever wonder how Kermit the Frog got his start? He was a sociopath that bullied people into drinking coffee!
