Are there any current ads that make you laugh?

I laugh at all the Specsavers ones but my two favourites are the vet who mistakes a fur hat for a sick cat, and the poor delivery driver who carries a very heavy parcel up several flights of stairs, only to be told he’s in the wrong block of flats!

Mollygo Atm can’t think of a single one that makes me laugh but I did used to like the silly Haribo ones ( but we are the police, giggle)🤭

I can’t remember which car advert it is for but the little people in traffic lights get in it.

The andrex loo roll one with the lady having a water birth, makes me laugh

@Cabbie21 - same here, it's not funny, it's blooming infuriating the way she speaks to him.
I'm still liking the PeptoBismal ad, though I know loads hate it, but the wee guy with the woolly hat making faces just makes me smile each time.

Diararrrreah-aaaaagh!🎶

The Lidl one is making me cross. Little daughter checks what Dad has bought for her specific requirements. Since when did small children speak to their parents like that? All too often, it seems.

That one gets my goat too!🤬 The Dad looking worried while the little princess gives her orders.

I agree with Bellanonna - there are plenty that make me cringe, especially a radio ad and a TV ad for bladder leak pads! Just dreadful!

I like most of the specsavers ads, my favourite was the elderly couple who’d unwittingly got on to the big dipper.

What kind of cheese was that!

The Boots summer advert, where dad asks for the boots bag, and mum turns round with such an innocent look on her face. Makes me smile every time, and I think, well you should have done it yourself

The VW car one where the Robin falls off his perch.

No I’d say most make me cringe tho I usually manage to silence them first

I remember enjoying ads in the past for their humour or gentleness, Dulux and Nescafé or the ^little madam wearing Clark’s’ shoes, spring to mind.

What made me laugh this am?
Just after a message from United Utilities, reminding me to save water with shorter 4 minute showers, a tiktok advert appeared showing me that I could have a waterproof phone case to stick on the wall of the shower so I don’t miss out on a single second of the Internet!
Do any adverts make you laugh?
