I'm a sucker for old commercials, particularly those that get me bawling (which is not really a hard thing to accomplish, truthfully). So here are some links and a poll for you.

It's got to be Peter. Because that's the one that I remember the most from my childhood. :)

But I also like this one

Okay, I LOOOOOOOVE that Cheese commercial! Whatever group was responsible for those used to put together a lot of awesome cheese commercials. I can still remember some of the jingles! This one definitely merits a lot of praise, though. *g*

I hadn't seen any of those ads before - none of them made it across the Atlantic. Not even the McDonald's or Coke ones, and those are the only two products that did sell over there then. M&Ms and, I think, Oreos, have made it over to Europe now.

However, this is one that did make it across and was pretty popular:

Surprisingly so, as I'm not sure Budweiser was a big seller at all in the UK or Ireland the late 1980s.

I don't remember seeing that one, though I remember the Budweiser horses and wagon were on a lot of Xmas advertising. Was that ad aired only in the UK? I didn't see a description of it on youtube.

I've always been amused by how the beer companies have some of the best ads...most of which have absolutely nothing to do with their product. :-D
