Funny ads
Anyone got any favourite funny ads:

Have you seen the new Verizon one with James Earl Jones waterskiiing? That's pretty funny.

Or what about the Mini ad I saw the other day. It starts looking through the windscreen of a mini and then a couple sit up and start putting their clothes back on. Then he says, "you know there's really a lot of room in here"; at which point another woman pops up from the back seat, putting on her clothes, and says, "yeah."

There was a Spanish ad for sending your kid of to university. it had an ld man looking at a crucial footbll game, and right as a crucial gola seems to be near!... the son comes in and changes the TV channel.

it was brilliant.

The commercial about the Garlic and Butter Ritz, where the husband is a vampire always makes me chuckle for some reason.

ACK!

Ploy.mpg - around 7.5 megabytes.
Transcript for the bandwidth-impaired.

An anti-drug ad. After I had watched it I blinked and thought "are they serious with this one?". Unintentionally funny I guess then. Intelligent debate at its finest.

http://www.mediacampaign.org/mg/television.html - More "dopey guy discusses politics with a bald guy over dinner" ones to see.

I've seen this line of anti-drug ads. I find that the artistic quality in them is nil and so is their effect. Theyre just too.......

One of my favourites is the Mastercard "priceless" ad. It's probably a fake, but it's damn funny
