Any Point

I remember seeing the Kia-Ora Orange cordial ad, must have been way back in the mid 80’s. I thought it was so great that I recorded it on Mum and Dad’s VHS video recording system. I sat there flicking through the channels, actually, there was only one channel at the time with adverts on, ITV. So I was sat there waiting for the adverts on ITV, with my fingers hovering over the record and play button on the VHS remote control (that was attached to the video by a long wire , how cool?) Eventually I got it.

Well, now there is a SKY ad on telly, and I am sure the writers were thinking of the Kia Ora ad when they came up with this. This ad made me smile, probably only because I was thinking of the crows. I am always wary of corporates advertising about how green they are, it’s usually a load of bollocks.

The original, however, is still the best ad ever in the history of telly.
