OK - enough of cheesy PC adverts on US television.
Here are some brilliant adverts - mostly from British TV and cinema but also from around the world, including 'spoof' adverts which were never aired for the viewing public:

(You might want to add it to your favourites/bookmark the site).
It's very difficult watching the humourous British beer adverts when you know you can't get the brands over here.....

The stupid ones and I forget who they are for -- one features a family saying goodbye to their pet goldfish by flushing it down the toilet, only to realise at the last second that the fish is still alive..... 
I have heard that the trend in advertising these days is to out-weird everyone else, but that people have just learned to ignore the weirdness in response. Could you please just tell me why your product is superior to others, and why I have to have it if it isn't a necessity. And quit ripping off my favourite 80s songs for your product, it really pisses me off.

I had to resurrect this thread because of the new GM employee discount commercial.
GM are cutting 25000 jobs in the US.
