Commercials you like
I thought I'd start a thread where people can post commercials they like. It can be hard to find videos of them, and they need to be understandable on this forum (so by English speakers), which limits things a little but I'm going to explain what's being said in each so that you can follow.
Here you go with some of mine:
Note that some have sexual connotations or content, but since they were broadcast on TV and all I'm going to assume it's okay. Feel free to mod my post if some are out of line.
This video is from the train company explaining that the emergency signal is pulled wrongly 98% of the time, and what can happen if you pull it without thinking. I like it because it's original and funny. (It's also the second one in the series, but the first one has too much French dialogue to be posted here).
This one shows sex but you don't really see anything. It's also funny and original, and one in a series with all the same slogan in the end, which means "the good news is, they used condoms"
This series of commercials (for condoms, obviously) is awesome in my opinion. Unfortunately I can't find any of the others.
This one is for notebooks. Doesn't really need to be translated since it's all visual. It's not funny but I like it. Must be because it's about imagination
This one is for Air France, plane company. Same thing, all visual.
This one is a fury commercial for Orangina (orange soda. Not sure if you have it in North America actually). I was all "what the.." when I first saw it. Gotta love the tranny peacocks It's got sexual connotations too, but I wouldn't say it's anything shocking.
No translation needed since it's the English version (plus it's all visual anyway, only the text in the end changes).
And finally a commercial that is just sad. There is dialogue but you don't need to understand it.
Hope you'll have neat commercials to share in here

Wait, the cow is upset because he did not eat beef? That's... weird.

The alien points his long finger towards the guy... And force of habit, the guy bites it.
Oops.
It's pretty old and I can't find it, unfortunately.
Then there's this one. It's become kind of annoying, and it's sequels have killed it, but what i like about it is that the website actually exists, and is quite comprehensive.

I don't like consoles, but this commercial is great.

Yep, this one was great! I really had to laugh out loud when i saw this for the first time on TV. :O)
Blixa Bargeld & Hornbach did some awesome commercials but you need to understand german to enjoy these:

That one's pretty awesome. I was going to post it if nobody else had. I also liked this one.

It took me a moment to find it again.
Have to agree on every point point. The site itself is a ripoff of lolcats to the best of my knowledge.
Also .. and
These adverts were great! Until the company went under that is...

Yeah, so I win
Another, more old-school favorite.
[1] But then again music videos are commercials for the album...
np: Caribou - Odessa (Swim)
That took me for a trip down nostalgia lane! Spice girls, Pokémon, Digimon, Thomas the tank engine, Fireman Sam, Postman Pat and Teenage Mutant Hero turtles. I miss the 90's. *sigh*
Lol! This not only reminds me of Nikasaur (for obvious reasons), but also of Guybrush Threepwood, as they were sticking their inventory (the letter) down their pants!
