Funny TV ads, past and present
Posted: Tue May 11, 2004 10:02 pm
I've been thinking about all the TV ads that we've seen over the years. some were good, some bad, some really bad, and some were absoloute works of genius. Here are some of my favourites, in no particular order:
1. The new Irn Bru ads, which have been starting to appear again over the last week or two. They proved controversial when they first appeared, but I love them. My favourite is the one with the boy getting cans of Irn Bru from his friends in exchange for them getting a peak at his mum in the shower. Probably cos of the extremely dirty mind I have. Moving on...
2. This was a while back. It was an advert for Ambrosia Creamed Rice, featuring a Devon farmer singing to the tune of a Pet Shop Boys song (I think), don't know its name. The chorus was "Ooh arr, it's Ambrosia!" Quality.
3. A bit more recent. The John West advert with the guy fighting a bear over a salmon. Who didn't love that one?
4. That Mint card advert with the woman remembering an ex-boyfriend with an unusal nose. It's been on a lot so most of you will probably know what happens.
What's everyone else's favourite funny TV ads, past or present?
