I'll admit to loving the original, human, version of this commercial but this take off does give me quite a giggle: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8JsbSolUF5c

my favourite advert ever has to be the Dunlop 'Tested for the Unexpected' ad from 1993. I was 21 at the time and it blew me away;

It also introduced me to the Velvet Underground for which I am eternally grateful.

I'm a bit too young to remember the ad or the product, but I do also rather like this Hai Karate 'Gamesmanship' ad. I hope it shifted lots of cheap aftershave back in the 70s;

Just saw this and had to laugh: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VU6hmgTY76M
Adverts like this remind me of a problem faced by compaines in America with a drug testing policy. A person I know who works in HR told me they had to drop drug testing for anybody involved in marketing. While the adverts noted a company 'drug free' policy they had no applications. When they took the note off the adverts people would phone to find out if their was a drug test and without exception hung if they were told there was one.

Not a real advert, but I thought it was funny: Lunchablez

Bad uncle!  Bad!  (It's occurs to me it would be kinder to give your nieces and nephews drum kits and encourage them to practice constantly.)
