What is your favourite TV commercial or series of commercials? I quite like that John West one with the guy trying to get the fish off the bear and the bear kicks him in the nuts. A good series of ads are the IBM ads.

I think these are only seen in Scotland, but I love the Tennent's Lager Thai Scottish pub advert :)

the VW golf ad where the guy is driving around and the models change

lol, yea classic man :D:D
"ahhh bisto"

My favourite would have to be the Adidas soccer commercial sometime back, where famous soccer players had to play against a team of their clones.

Has to be the John Smiths ones. For those that ain't seen 'em:

1. Bunch of guys playing keepy-uppy in a park for ages, then the ball goes to the fat one and he boots it over the wall, into the garden of a nearby house. 'Ave it!'. Class

2. Double Date in a restaurant. Bloke gets a phone call from his little daughter saying she can't sleep because she's afraid of monsters. He says, 'It's not the monsters you want to be scared of it's the burglars coming in through the windows'.

3. Seems like the Olympic diving competition. 2 divers do all those twists and turns and stuff and get decent scores. Fat guy turns up on platform as next entrant. Anouncer says, 'next it's the entrant from England who will be attempting the Running Bomb!'. Performs a running bomb, judges give 10/10. :)

For anyone in Australia, that ad for beds with the cheerleader grandma is possibly the funniest thing I've ever seen. When she kinda stops then the beat comes back and she starts up again and clapping, I can hardly take it! :D

Those are for John Smiths Beer I take it? I would love to see that last one :D

The beer ones can be quite funny. There is one here for a beer called Speighs, brewed in the South Island.

Setting: A father (in his 50's) and his son (in his 20's) are in the expanse of the rural south island, both are obviously farmers, they are dressed in all-weather gear etc. and are having a break from the days work. Both look like they are 'salt of the earth' types, rough and ready etc.

Dad: So I hear you have a girl from Auckland.

Son: (looking embarrassed) Yep.

Dad: So whats the attraction?

Son: Inner city apartment, private yacht, corporate box at Eden Park...

(long pause)

Son: She don't drink speights though.

Dad: (looking pleased) Shes a hard road finding the perfect woman, son.
