What is your most favorite and/or most hated ad of 2007?

The end of the year is closing in on us fast, and that means it's about time for the Adland end of year wrap-up.

Always curious to hear what you guys think was the best and the worst ads of the year. So, here's the place for you to speak and be heard.

Feel free to link to the ads if you've seen them here. ;)

As I'm from the UK and work in the UK, I'm choosing from UK adverts only. Hope that's okay?

Worst (UK) ad: Oh, so many to choose from. The COI one about drinking - lame. The AA singers (that's Automobile Association, not Alcoholics Anon!).

Having said that, there is also the Head-On advert (the 12" remix version).

Best (UK) ad: Tough choice, but I'm going with the following two: Skoda cake and Orange 'People are good together" for the simple reason they didn't include any CG moments (as far as I know).

Yes, most definitely OK - I don't care where in the world it is from - just that people judge it best or worst ;)

Don't think I've seen the Skoda Cake spot - will have to see that one out.

Thanks for being the first to reply :D

Skoda's cake advert (created by Fallon) can be seen on YouTube here and the story behind how it was created here.

For those stuck on which ads are crap, try this site I found for UK ads! Do other countries have their own 'worst of' collection?

Thanks!
Nice link - will have to waste a few hours there poking around when I get some downtime. :)

Downtime??? What's that? I haven't had any (even when I'm not on an assignment/contract) for 10+ years....

(I'm almost not kidding...sigh...)

Hahah I don't know. I'm just hoping I'll find some. Maybe there's some hidden away in the back corner of one of my desk drawers. Doubtful though.
