Please don't just post a list, that's really boring. Please say something about why these ads stand out for you, what memories they evoke etc.
I'll start us off with this one, most people in their mid-20s or over should remember it. It's the one where that rarest of creatures at the time, a scouser with a job, shares this valuable insight about his job filling the NatWest cash machines: "A bit like a photocopier, except the paper's more expensive."
Video from : uk.youtube.comIt was one of a whole series of ads that were designed to portray NatWest as a bank with a 'human' face. The production values of this one were very high for a TV ad, I thought, the shots of Liverpool at night are beautiful. The one thing that puzzles me is that the YouTube thread says it was from 1991, but I could swear this was out in the very late 80s. That girl's awful hairstyle was from around that time anyway.
Also, note how many people are working in the back of the bank branch compared to nowadays.
Despite the cheesiness, I do think there's a certain charm to this particular ad, although it rightly got the piss taken out of it by Baddiel and Newman for that last line: "Of course we do. It's not all work, work, work!"
