Worlds Greatest Advertisements

IS IT JUST ME or is the whole world watching!!!

These ads have dominated YouTube over the last decade and viewers have spent more than a million hours watching these advertisements repeatedly. You start off not knowing what this is all about and then these ads throw you off your seat towards the end and makes you keep thinking of whats real and whats not. From really simple mediocre ideas to Hondas most adventurous splurge of money, these ads have created impressions in the minds of the viewers from across the globe. Sadly non English ads have not dominated the views it deserved because of the language barrier. Celebrated legends have added the required glitz and glamour to the advertising world and you can find the list by following the link World Greatest Brand Ambassadors
