I remember this one since I was a kid...

"Emily, why do you always have to make such a big production out of everything?"

I only saw this one time on one of those "world's greatest commercial" shows (it's for a tobacco produced and sold in England, after all), and I've always liked it.  It just seemed so matter-of-fact, so appropriate, so ..... right!
And the look on those two hooligans' faces .... PRICELESS!

Cat herding, heh? Why do I get a feeling that you may be a cat hoarder or at least a multi cat owner?

Good call, RT, that is how the house would look if I weren't there to herd the cats. :)

I saw this one once in England, and then in one of those best commercial shows later; it's one of the best:

They could never run that ad in America.
The average viewer would need to have it explained to them ... and still wouldn't understand it.

My mate John Otway did a tele advert
