Probably not mainstream enough yet, but Sky aired an absolute doozie of an ad earlier as part of their golf coverage:

Not since Monty the Penguin have I felt so many feels during an ad. Beautiful

Why have Andrex ads become so bad in recent years?

Computer-generated puppies, naked men (I'm not kidding), five-year-olds being asked how clean they feel after going to the loo...

So here's an ad from happier times.

I know this ad is gettin a lotta hate on the Despise thread but I actually think tis funny.

The one where the mother embarrasses the daughter by tryin to act like a teen queen:
"Hey Abs,check out this new hotspot where all us cool kids go called the kitchen,and all the cool kids call it 'THE KITCH'....I can get you a +1...and maybe you could even bring your brother??"

I've only seen it a few times but my favourite at the moment is the VW ad with Joe Schmidt.

That kid at the end makes me laugh every time.

These Specsaver ads still mke me laugh when I see them-
The one where the farmer shears the dog instead of the sheep,and especially the one with the dancer mistakenly goin into the old folks bingo club:
"Here we go....
GET THOSE LEGS UP!!
SHAKE WHAT YOUR MOTHER GAVE YOU!!" :-):-):-)

I think they've slightly shortened that one or maybe tis just me imagination.

"What sort of cheese was that?" is my favourite. Closely followed by the turkey at Christmas one.

Whoever wrote/concieved that series of ads deserves all the awards they can fit on their mantlepiece

I have to give credit where it's due in relation to the "What sort of cheese was that?" It's a great advert

Have to say this one makes me smile.

My new favourite ad. Funniest ad I've seen in a long time.

I didn't like this one at first but now I grin whenever I see it...
The ad for Cheestrings where the kids are all out hiking and they're singin the marching song:

"I've got cheese for a head"
"I've got ch..ee......"

Any M&S food advert. Great music, beautiful food

Pure "Food Porn"!!

Here's a Heineken ad from when Pong was popular...

I like the new Lidl one about being local.

R00ster · 08-09-2015 3:05am

I love this one, genuinely laughed out loud the first time I saw it:

An Riabhach · 20-09-2015 11:03pm

I love this ad,especially the accent:

The new Pot Noodle ad, where the guy becomes a card girl.

An ad thats sort of fúcked up and funny at the same time.

Brian from Bray · 21-09-2015 11:05pm

I think this ad is brilliant.

mrkite77 · 22-09-2015 12:19am

This Dollar Shave Club ad still makes me laugh.

Hotel? Trivago

They always make me smile

The Low Low one where the girl dives into the sea, tries on several items of clothing and pushes a sandwich across the desk to her screaming at the end of her tether colleague. They seem to have done away with the bit where she's ready to get jiggy-with-it with her boyfriend.

Hmm... that sounds more like an ad you despise.

Here's by far the most famous Kinder Surprise ad. Kids today may find it just as unsettling as kids in 1983 did...

There's an ad for dog food,I haven't a clue what type or brand,but anyway in the ad there is a dog asleep on the couch having a dream about swimming in the river/lake with another dog,they show the dream but then it flashes back to the dog sleeping on the couch and its paws are paddling in its sleep!!

This is the story of a young girl called Lily. Looking at the moon through the family telescope one night, she's amazed at what she finds... a man on the moon.

Lily watches as he goes about his chores, all alone up there. She becomes determined to get something to the moon, to send him a message and show him that someone down here is thinking of him.
