One of the most iconic UK ads of the 1990s saw a young girl have to make a very important decision... Daddy or Chips?

Fast forward a few decades and, instead of relegating pops to the inferior option, McCain, alongside charity partner Beyond Equality, has created a project that celebrates The "Dad Joke" Effect - encouraging fathers to keep their boys close as they grow towards their teenage years. 

Created by adam&eve\TBWA, the campaign leads with a charming spot from MindsEye director Jim Archer, in which conventional paternal silliness is seen through a new lens given the context of the message.
