Funniest TV commercial you've seen lately? Be sure to describe it, since folks on other continents may not have seen it, or know what the product being advertised is.

Mine would be a Bud Light (beer) commercial. A lady is talking to her boyfriend on the phone about meeting later that evening..she starts talking about a french maid outfit and a blonde wig and such..he says "oooo, I like the strange"..oooh la la.

So then they show her answering the door in such an outfit..and her boyfriend is wearing one too! He says something like *oh, you meant you..* as she slams the door in his face. I fell over laughing the first time I saw it, & it still cracks me up!
 
Oh man!! Way too many funny commercials! I will have to pick mah favorite and post it here!:grin:
 
Well...it's a norwegian commercial, and it's really simple, really. It's a guy with really long hair and metal attitude standing alone at some kind of party (wedding i think), and everybody is dancing to this danceband music. Suddenly he's invited up for a dance by some chick. But then he starts headbanging. It's really brilliant when he bangs to music that is most common in stereos for people over 60. :grin: And then, he gets his hair stuck in the guitar that one of the danceband members are using.
The point in that commercial is that he can't dance at all, and the frase "Need a dancing instructor" comes up on the screen...it's a commercial for a telephonebook...where you can look up numbers, including a dancing instructor, of course:grin:
 
It's a long time ago I have seen it but i'll try.

There's a woman driving through the desert. She is sitting in a cabrio and is wearing a short-sleeved shirt.
At one moment the "out-of-oil"-light on the dashboard flashes on.
She stops the car at the side of the road. Opens the dashboard-locker and takes out a bottle of lotion. She puts some lotion on her arms and drives away.
The "out-of-oil"-light goes off.
 
There was this finnish coffee commercial that had a guy in a police car. Cops are accusing him of going 120 on a 80 zone + other traffic violations and the guy is extremely nervous and shaking (he is obviously going to get huge ticket and lose his license) . Then the policemen sip some of the coffee that they have and make the accused guy recite this childrens "oath" (literal translation would be something like "I swear by the rock and the treetrunk that I will not do it again, or the bogeyman shall take me") and then let him go. Then comes text that says about the coffee being very smooth and gentle or something.

I think I explained it pretty badly, but it was pretty funny when I first saw it.
 
I remember a commercial about this guy trying to save money to buy this new computer or something like that, He turned out all the lights to his house to save money and his family was all walking about trying to move around in the darkness, Well the grandmother living with them was going to the basement, You hear the door open and the old lady flying down this flight of stairs and all this crashing about, The mother was like mom are you ok? And grandma says in an irritated voice, Yeah, I'll walk it off!!:lol:

I also remember a good one for a rent-a-car company thinking of ways to advertise thier new special, So they decide to do a chain letter and it goes to this guy coming home from work, He opens the door and begins looking through his mail, Finds the chain letter that says send this to like 10 people or have 7 years bad luck, He says "Yeah Right" Crumples the letter and the light next to his door burns out, Then not even 2 seconds later the chandelere above him falls and takes him out. It goes back to the people in the office all saying, No, No chain letter, Bad idea:lol:
 
I just seen a new Budweiser commerical, it was pretty good. It opens with the camera angle looking at a man at work from the table with an oriental food box on the left. His stomach starts to rumble.. He gets up and looks into the hallway and doesn't see anybody. He comes back to his chair, lifts up his leg, and the camera cuts to an 18 wheeler passing by blowing the air horn. When it comes back to the guy, he's sitting there and a crowd of people come rushing in with a birthday cake, saying stuff like "Surprise!" and "Happy birthday!". As they get closer, their faces start to wrinkle up and everybody begins sniffing. Then the commercial ends... I thought it was funny at the time.

Okay, my favourite you REALLY have to see for it to be funny, but I'll post it anyway just in case any Brits have seen it.

On a local park, some young men are playing keep-ups with a football, like they're warming up before a game. They're using all these clever tricks and stuff to keep the ball in the air. Then one bloke flicks it up for someone else to take a turn, and you see this fat bloke (Peter Kay, a sort of well-known comedian in England) come into shot and he boots the ball as hard and as far as he can, and says "'Ave it!! Oh, yes." Then you see the ball go flying over the fence, hit a garden shed and start bouncing around. Then it cuts to the tray of oranges (eaten at half-time to give energy and stuff), and he pushes them all aside to grab a can of John Smith's beer. "No nonsense" is the slogan.

Okay, you really do have to see it, but it's damn funny. ;)
