Funny commercials

I hate commercial breaks. I despise them. Especially when you know it's no point zapping to another channel, as they now all show commercials at almost the same time.
But now and then, there's a little perk. A little gem like the one in the link below, clever, funny, brilliant.

So, if you know of any good and funny commercials, now's the time to share.

I think the recent Specsavers ads are genius. I especialy like the one with the lumberjack and the power lines:

Can't find the vid on YouTube but here (http://www.do-groove.com/commercials.aspx) is a link to their site with the commercial (it's the first one).

Not overtly funny but it amuses me nonetheless.

90% of the funny commercials come from Geico.

That cracked me up! Then I had to call redwulf over and replay it, and we both cracked up. I do love Brit ads...

My vote, tho, is for 'Herding Cats (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pk7yqlTMvp8).'

Not exactly and ad, but 'Fruity Oaty Bars (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f7idn3PcKBM)' gets an honorable mention.

The Fruity Oaty Bar ad is actually from Serenity, and much of it is English. Part of the lyrics, that you may share the joy of having that damn song stuck in your head:

Fruity Oaty Bars,
Make a man out of a mouse.
Fruity Oaty Bars,
Make you bust out of your blouse.

Yeah for sure, but bloody is a quite a common word in Australia too, and probebly is because we were settled by the English

Yeah, but you see, my grandma is from York. I associate bloody with her, and thus with England.

When my sister and I were young, my mom didn't want to 'swear' (in American) in front of us, so she used some truly filthy things from British English when she wanted to swear. To this day, my grandma tells me that I swear like a British fishwife when I'm mad.

Ah ok for sure,

The add I showed was the 2006 Carlton Draught ad, entitled "Big Ad", I have posted on here the 2007 ad called "Flashbeer", not quite as funny but still good, I await their 2008 ad
