Are there any current ads that make you laugh?

Pepto bismol one makes me giggle

Bellanonna

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

I agree and I always mute them too.

I enjoy all the adverts for Smarty particularly the one where the road side stall holder selling just a few loose potatoes and onions accepts only cryto currency

Also the current one where the chap with his wheely suitcase does the very British thing of just accepting that he has to traverse the completely empty zig zag line to check in - just as he gets to the end the agent announces check in is now closed - priceless

Here’s the add. I still laugh 😂

I think the Specsavers vet/cat/furry hat ad is absolute genius, and should have won every award going....I had a similar experience when I rushed outside thinking there was a sick hedgehog on the lawn, only to find it was a bird's nesting bag, round and brown and looked a bit spikey without my specs on!

I like the foxes on the speedboat in the Poretti advert.

I like the one where the dad is paying for his fuel and asks for a bar of chocolate and leaves it for the girl cashier who turns out to be his daughter, presumably they'd had a falling out

Also the girl in the ice cream van who says her brother could turn out to be a footballer like Roy Keane "whoever that is" and Roy's stood there waiting for his cornet, crestfallen

The advert with the elderly married couple, and he makes her a cup of tea, comes from the kitchen and says to her "are you still here?" It's the type of humour me and the other half have.
We very often say that same phrase to each other on a regular basis ( married 55 years )

I quite like the one with David Beckham taking out his drink from McDonalds saying: “please be Beckham, please be Beckham” and it’s Thierry Henri. Just makes me laugh.

I like the Morrisons ads, especially the one where the lady is buying fish. It starts with her trying to manhandle her shopping trolley on the deck of a fishing boat which is being buffeted around in a storm. She tries to read her shopping list in the driving rain and the look on the fisherman's face is priceless. Always makes me chuckle.

I also like the Specsavers ad with the couple who end up on the big dipper.
And a current one that makes me smile is the one where the mother (grandmother?) announces that she's learning jujitsu, then throws her son/grandson over her shoulder.
My granddaughter has just started learning Tai kwondo, & we have a running joke where I 'pretend' to be afraid of her in case she starts throwing me around!

BrandyGran Yes, the Boots bag one is very funny.

There is a terrible UberEats one with Gordon Ramsey, usually during a break in a World Cup match. I can't stand that man.

ampersand regarding ‘the very British thing…’ I once ducked under some of the completely empty zig zag lines and was told by a staff member that I must walk round!
nonna agree their faces in the Boots ad make me 😊
Worse than the Lidl advert is the mother and son advert where the teacher has had to speak to the parent about something and when they get home they laugh over a glass of squash. Poor teachers!

I wonder if Lidl bothered asking a focus group about the ad with the spoilt child. It really is awful.

I avoid adverts when I can these days - I find all the pee, poo, period ads off-putting, the funeral plans and gambling ones annoying. I agree with others that the Specsavers and Nationwide ones are fun. We used to have so many great ads though - what’s happened?

Its not an ad, just a funny question I see every day on Gransnet under the heading " Latest"

How long does menopause last ?

( The rest of your life , dear.)

There was a campaign to get the Peptobismol song as the UK Eurovision entry

Oreo

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 hate those ads and wouldn’t buy those sweets. I hate the voice on the Aldi ad.
Most ads get fast forwarded on our tv.

Specs avers with Bev and Barry. Also the foxes on the speedboat no idea what it's for though!.

The one where the couple are in bed, and the female states that seeing as the new bed was so much cheaper than they thought, so perhaps they could buy a diamond engagement ring Ames me smile - due to the fellow’s very obvious discomfort. I cringe at all the period and incontinence ads, and get angry at the funeral ones.

I agree that is a really excellent advert….🤗

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.

I agree I think it’s an awful advert…😬
Talk about precocious….

The Specsavers with the Clown, is my favourite it's bonkers. 😂

The Greyhound advert as they & Alsatians are my favourite dogs. The black greyhound who has his best friend is one I could runoff with. He is lovely!

I like
The girl selling her biker jacket on eBay.
The Boots bag one. Love the relieved expression on the mums face!
The gran and grand daughter on the train.
All are funny and clever.

I'm not a big fan of Robbie Williams but I do like his Felix catfood advert

I always laugh at the Pepto Bismol one and I love the foxes on the boat advertising a brand of beer.

I don't like the Pepto Bismol one but I love the foxes on the speedboat.
