[Misc] TV adverts that make you laugh or smile

[B-right-on]

The John Cleese Specsavers ad where he beats the cop car made me smile the first couple of times.

Great bit of advertising strap line 'should have gone to Specsavers'. Advertising person who came up with that line must have got his Xmas bonus, built a whole bunch of ads off of it.

Generally ads are crap and I either mute them or go make a cuppa if watching live TV (or FF if recorded or watch Netflix).

The thing about adverts that REALLY REALLY p1sses me off is that the TV Co's deliberately broadcast the sound louder for ads than the programmes. Was a big complaint to Offcomm (I think) about it some years ago but they said 'it's not a problem we can do a anything about'.

Agreed, maddening especially as they wake me up if I have gone to sleep watching something

This one doesn’t make me laugh or smile. Just bawl. Was released not so long before my only child left for university, bless her.

Great ad, not seen that

So many IRN-BRU adverts, so little time...

This one may - or may not - feature a young Lewis Capaldi

This is the Carling Black Label advert that reminds me most of NSC.

The Malibu ads from the 1990s. It's gridlock!!!!!

More recently I enjoyed the Ikea Silence the Critics ad.

Most adverts are shit imo and I have no idea how they ever got on the screen

However this ad makes me smile every time I see it and it’s been on a lot recently

If this makes you smile, the joke in the Lego joke thread will have you creasing up

Blimey, you're easily pleased.

Icy Gull is in the extreme pro-Potter “Best season ever” camp.
People of that persuasion like everything.

 

[DavidinSouthampton]

People actually still watch television ‘live’? Bizarre.

I do miss TV ads from the UK - ads in the States are shite

I think you’ll find it’s the “best season since the season before last” camp

You make it sound like being pro Potter is some sort of nasty affliction

And I don’t like everything, I’m not liking your bullying posts today

When I was a kid, this was on children’s telly and played at my local cinema too, so I have fond memories of it. And it’s very original and well done.
