I scream everytime I see that Haribo commercials where the adults are fighting over the candy.  I love the one in the airport where they are wrestling for them and the little boy yells "stop it you two before someone gets hurt..."

I really can't stand the M & S commercials with the woman describing food in a sexy voice.

My fiance and I think those commercials are hilarious- "honey, look! It's food porn again!"

Did anyone see the Cadbury's advert with the gorilla playing drums to 'In The Air Tonight' during the football yesterday?
I saw it twice, and was nearly crying with laughter!



LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!! Dh and I have been screaming with laughter!!

It sort of did me at first, too. But the more I see it, the more I love it because it's just so random!! And the body language of the gorilla - so like Phil Collins it's eerie! (I know it's probably a computer generated gorilla on top of video of Phil or something like that but it's still cool)

It's just the idea of a gorilla playing the drums, and then doing that cool transitory drum riff during "In the Air Tonight." I saw only part of it the first time and thought it was weird, but after seeing the entirety a couple of more times, I think it's hilarious (in a very odd way).

I thought it was pretty funny, but it's the sort of thing that (to me) only works the first time you see it.

Oh Chary, i thought you'd love it, cos you like monkeys and stuff!

As Balmerhon said, it's funny because it's so random!  It's like... why?!
Oh god i've been killing myself over this one!  [smiley=laugh4.gif]

And someone on You Tube has put the exact same video to a different song:  Total Eclipse of the Heart, which is just as funny.

I do! I do! But it's the element of surprise that gets you ... and after the first time you see it, that's sort of gone.

The Total Eclispe of the Heart one is excellent.

I like the McEnroe commercial too, he's such a ham.

That one is fab! But I find overall Irn Bru consistantly turn out very watchable and funny adverts. For those stateside viewers, here is a youtube link...


I really liked the snowman one over yuletide. I was taken by that so many times because I tend not to watch adverts.



Now for those who have never seen the origanal 'Made in Scotland from Girders' check this one out.
It's the shipyard one...
