Can anyone the funniest ads they have seen either recently or in the past?

Why do people think that these ads have stuck in their memory over others?

Hello good sir :pac:

I remember the Rollo ad with the Elephant.
The kit-kat ad with the dancing pandas.
There are so many, but I put those two down because they are not recent ones.

A recent humorous ad that springs to mind is the “Bud Light” ad with the remote controlled helicopter being flown about to trim the hedges, grass, blow leaves, etc. All set to an Airwolf theme tune.

No-one else seems to have seen it though!

The Hamlet Cigars ads were classic till they banned adverts on tobacco products.

Remember the one with the fisherman who put a gramophone with Des O'Conner playing on it into the river and the fish hopped out and into the net rather than listen to it !

Ahhh..... would make you crave the sweet smell of a Hamlet Cigar:D

Seen it. It's class but Bud Light is still gank. Airwolf why has thou forsaken me?

I think the new lynx ad with the chocolate man is pretty funny.

I'm loving the new Carlsberg ad with Jack Charlton. Alcohol companies always put so much effort in.

The kit kat ad with the devil and the do-gooder from upstairs meet for the morning break beside the elevetor.. "morning!"
Also this one!

The hilarious thing about that ad is that they aren't tasty, tasty, very, very tasty.

Can't remember what it was for but it was an ad that was on years ago - where the father finds the pregnancy test in the bathroom and charges in giving his 2 teenage daughters a what for about how they had been giving the talks and should have known to be more careful - only for the mam to turn around and announce that it was them that should have been more careful!!

Creature · 14-05-2008 08:09PM

The one where the guy runs around town looking for a pub that turns out to be called Grrrrreeeeeaaarrghhhh or something like that. It's for a beer I think.

johnnyrotten · 14-05-2008 08:16PM

livEwirE · 14-05-2008 08:18PM

Frightening, frightening, very very frightening!!!

I love watching old videos that I've taped off the tele, and there are still ads on them!! Remember the milk ad?
"When I grow up I wanna play for Accrington Stanley (or something)"
"Accrington Stanley?:eek:'Oo are they?

"
"Ex-zactlee"

I just think this is quality.

If it's your first time seeing it, you'll love it too I think.

That's just been on. Anything with Gremlins in it works for me.

I love the new VW ad with the dog singing away when he's in the car and then cowering in fear when he's outside of it. Makes me laugh every time I see it. The song is actually pretty catchy too- have heard it on Today FM a few times now.
