It's time for a celebration! Why? Because it's the day after St. Patrick's Day and we are gloriously and joyfully un-hungover. The world is bright and shiny and new and full of happy furry puppies and immensely clever radio ads.
It may be a bit of a non-sequitur, but we wanted to share our best of the best radio adverts from the research we did for a training game in Newcastle last month (photos from our lovely little jaunt here). Listening to oodles of ads while designing the game got us realising how these brilliant clips can make you smile, make you laugh, make you curl your lip in distaste, make you want to stand up and cheer, and make you turn to your colleague and go OMG!!!! WTF!?!?!!!!?
They may even make you buckle your seatbelt. Hilarious, bizarre, uncomfortable, intelligent, amusing and revolting, all in these next few short clips. We highly recommend you have a listen.
To mark yesterday's day of Irish celebration, we'll kick things off with the best beer advert from, of course, Guinness.
Confession
Next up is a gem from the horrifying world of public service announcements. Chris got a morbid amount of enjoyment out of the sound effects involving small children in this one.
Death Calling
Another masterpiece from the brains behind public awareness campaigns. This is the creepiest bedtime story of all time. Screw the Big Bad Wolf and the monster under the bed, it's this radio ad that will have you losing sleep over driver side mirrors and soft-boiled eggs.
Peter Pan
Most terrifying/revolting horoscope I've ever heard. Let's just say it involves things that are unpleasant and burning. And Uranus.
Capricorn
Yes. I find this one quite amusing.
Women Drivers
And for my ultimate all-time complete and utter favourite - the incredible Diet Irn-Bru ad. Makes me want to move into a Scottish chip shop and sleep under the deep fat fryer.
