The ten best TV advertisements of all time

For the briefest of periods in the 1980's and 1990's, TV advertisements were actually amazing. You had such classics as the Wispa ads with Griff Rhys Jones, those Nescafe Gold ads with your man from Buffy and plenty more. We've flicked through countless hours of TV to come up with the ten best TV advertisements of all time. Don't change the channel...

10. PEPPERAMI CHEESY - "Any hotter and I'd be fondue..."

For some reason, we found this guy hilarious. Too bad Pepperami's tasted like a dried sock. (Please note: This is a personal taste thing. If Pepperami's your bag, then good for you.)

9. TANGO ORANGE - "Yes, Ralph. Smashing."

We can remember these being banned because of 'happy-slapping'. Remember when that was a thing? Also, we're convinced that it was Alan Hansen or Des Lynam who did the voice for the commentator-type person. Turns out it wasn't. Ray Wilkins, actually.

8. WISPA GOLD - "Chocolate?"

The way he used to say 'CHO-CO-LATE' was incredible. It made us want chocolate. Just so we could say 'CHOC-O-LATE'.

7. EIRCELL - "Hello Kate?"

Because there's nothing funnier than making fun of Kerry people. NO HONESTLY IT IS.

6. DIET COKE - "11.30."

This advertisement was bullshit. Firstly, builders don't look like this. Secondly, look at his watch. It's clearly NOT 11.30. And if he can afford a big-ass gold watch like that, he shouldn't be working on a building site. Thirdly, nobody takes off their shirt in a building site. And where's his high-vis vest? That building site would be shut down for health and safety violations in an instant. AND SINCE WHEN IS IT OK TO OGLE PEOPLE WHEN THEY'RE TO WORK.

5. IRN BRU 32 - "Cuckoo"

Because there's nothing more hilarious / terrifying than an angry Scotsman in a cuckoo outfit. GET THIS DOWN YER PIE-HOLE, CLEVER CLOGS.

4. CARSLBERG - "Caca milis"

What made this ad so hilarious is that pretty much everyone can relate to having up to 14 years of Irish language teaching and only coming away with asking to use the toilet.

3. HARP - "Sally O'Brien"

Question - who the f*ck was Sally O'Brien?

2. KIA ORA - "Too orangey for crows"

This used to come on in the cinemas and would basically tell you the film was due to start. Who knew reggae and diluted orange juice would mix so well?
