I put together ten funny commercials that made me laugh, mostly advertisements from the 90s, many European adverts, also from US. Some of them are real classics and won the Cannes Lions. I enjoyed them back then, but I had no place where to put them, so I made this collection. They are from a time before we all had internet, so the quality is low. But their creativity, originality and fun are real. I hope you enjoy them. Tell me in the comments which one is your #1, I will include your vote in the ranking at the end of this text and below the video to see which commercial people like the most.
These ads are included:
1. Yellow Pages, "Shark" / "Shark Attack" / "Tank Crack" - this one was very famous at its time and often forwarded by email, apparently it is from 1999, thanks to @fanfam for the information
2. Milwaukee Electric Tools, "Breakdance Drill", not later than 2008 - simply a nice idea with two amazing dancers
3. Miller Lite, "Miller Time" or "Miller Twist" from 1998 - the guy is gold, the actor is Ray Bokhour, The Miller Lite Twist Guy, thanks to @TerrorBrent for the information
4. Kit Kat, "Entenjagd" / "Entenjäger" (engl. Ducking, Duck shooting) from 1992 - that one was also very famous and it's time and won in Cannes (Have a break, have a Kit Kat)
5. Renault Clio, "Get uppa" / "Get up" from 1999 by apparently Agulla & Baccetti from Argentina with Sex Machine by James Brown - this one made us laugh so hard at its time, too bad there is no better quality available (Get upaaaaaa)
6. Centraal Beheer (also called Apeldoorn), an insurance company from the Netherlands, with "Commercial Zweefvlieger" (engl. Glider) from 1994 with the British actor Nathaniel Parker - the commercial was played and talked about very often, at least in Austria (Even Apeldoorn bellen)
