The Hall of Famers from 2000:
Other greats include the QTV ‘Danster’ campaign, Heinz ‘Two Minutes’, Lynx ‘Shaver‘, Monster.co.uk ‘Voices’, Stella ‘Hero’s Return’, Audi ‘Wakeboarder’, Skoda ‘Factory’, Weetabix ‘Black Beauty’, Aristoc ‘Subtitles’, Metz ‘Judderman’, VW ‘Smile‘ and Reebok ‘Belly’.
I think that 2000 was the greatest ever year for British TV advertising. Several of the ‘greats’ could also be classics, depending on your opinion, but there’s 18 ads up there and they’re all exceptionally good.

Try watching the Barclays ad without the words “irony!” or “hubris!” wriggling out your mouth.

I’m willing to bet it’s the agency people charged with judging the candidates’ ideas that get the most sh*t on this forum…

And I’m not a bank-hater.
