Only two ads from Asia make Gunn Report list of century's best (so far)

The Gunn Report has released a popular poll of the 20 best ads of the 21st Century (so far). Only two ads from Asia appear: one from India and Ad Nut bets you can guess the other one. Hint: It did fairly well at Cannes.

Only two ads from Asia make Gunn Report list of century's best (so far)

Three ads on behalf of Asia-based brands also appear, two for Honda and one for Sony. However, in all three cases the credit goes to London-based agencies. 

The organisation compiled the list, which is not ranked in any order, by asking readers to choose 10 ads each from a pre-selected list of 30. Provisions were also made for "other nominations".

In total, 1,754 people completed the questionnaire, allowing The Gunn Report to create a list of the most popular ads released between 2000 and 2015. Here we go:
