Really Funny Comercials

[Brad]

What are some of the funniest comercials you have seen? I like the VW comercial, where the guy pulls up in front of the supermarket walks of and then tackles the buggy before it hits the car... really funny stuff. " I'm o.k" <IMG SRC="http://forums.civfanatics.com/ubb/lol.gif" border=0>

Even though stuff happens that we don't plan, be a man... use you hand.

I like the one with Schumacher buying a Fiat Seiciento

I like the Dutch ad "I wanna f*** you in the a***". It's for English courses.
Also liked the Mars ad (with a Porsche)

You can find a lot on ad-critic.

I once saw an elephant doing arobics

. It was pretty funny. I think they were advertising sturdy tiles, but I'm not sure.

Saw a video of one (never saw it on TV-I think it was Canadian--no offense intended

) where a guy tackles a Grizzly Bear that was stealing his beer or something. The bear starts doing all these karate moves on the guy, then the guy points up, the bear looks, and the guys boots him in the balls. It was lol-hilarious!!!

Has anyone seen Carrott's Commercial Breakdown? It's an English program where they show the funniest commercials of the world (presented by John Carrott).<HR>I remember one from the US: an old couple sits at a table in their house and the woman says: "The magic's gone. When the lights go out, he falls asleep." The next thing that happens is that the lightbulb snaps and immediately the man starts to snore.

The commercial was for a longlasting lightbulb.

Another one:

"In England they have a game called 'ferret legging'. The game is that two players should put a ferret into their trousers and the one who holds on the longest is the winner."

There we have the ... lotery where you can win ... and ... and ..., which as you might can imagine is a lot more fun than a ferret in your trousers...

John Carrott: "American subtlety. At least when we found a ferret, we put it in our trousers. We don't elect him as president."

It's Jasper Carrott by the way. An unfunny brummie comedian (sic). The adverts are far funny than he is, believe me.
The guy fighting the grizzly is for John West salmon. It's cool, but it's hardly ever on. Gets far more sightings on the net than on the telly.

I notice that we've only had TV adverts so far. Since I don't have a TV, I'll offer one I saw in a London newspaper. It read...
--- "Fly to Europe for just £29!" ---
Did no one tell them we were already in Europe?!

What about Sonera:s commercial where the soft voice will speak to you following:
"Ensure your social relationships... buy a Sonera phonecard which you'll be able to
call up to 100mk (15$)." Then you'll see a text what says that the card will cost
106mk (16$) + shipping&posting, 1,95mk (0,39$).

of 'em don't vote 'cause of this.

I really enjoyed a Dutch ad for English courses. With a family listening to the radio in their cars. The song was something like: I wanna f*** you in the ... Willem, you surely know this one?

Btw, Stormerne, the flights ads reminds me the (not so funny) Air France ad for their Concorde flight. Book your flight and your hotel at the same time... When you know what happened to the Concorde...

THere was a great commercial I saw in one of those "Best Ads" TV shows. It was from a non-English-speaking country, but that's all I remember:

Two kids are eating breakfast, and the mother is telling them to drink their milk because it's good for their bones and it will make them strong. The little boy replies, "But Mr. Jones doesn't drink milk!"

THen it shows the kids looking out the kitchen window at the neighbour, Mr. Jones. He waves good morning to the kids, bends down to pick up his full wheelbarrow, and both his arms detach at the shoulders.
