These TV ads make me smile

I've just watched as a delivery driver lugged a box almost bigger than himself up flights of stairs...struggling so as he goes.

He finally reaches the address with a massive sigh of relief!

The door opens, only to be told he's at the wrong address!

What adverts past or present have made you smile?

Gotta say, I generally like all IKEA adverts, they are quite subversive in clever ways.

"Cadburys dairy milk gorilla"

Good heavens no - that genuinely put me off buying Dairy Milk. I cant tell if it was because it was irrelevant to the product (clearly a marketing person thinking they were being clever) or the fact that it always boils my piss when people claim that Phil Collins is the best drummer in the world...

I think anyone from Scotland will back me up in saying the Irn Bru adverts have been legendary for about 30 years. Every one is class, especially the Snowman Christmas ones. My personal favourite was "everyone in the world loves Irn Bru" family scene, ending with the mum shaving singing "even though I used to be a man"..... they couldn't air it these days

The only one I can think of is an early 2000s advert for robinsons fruit barley, where a little girl asks what the capital of England is and just responds with "E". I dunno why but it just tickled me.
