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?

"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  |

They very old Carling advert. Where the husband doesn't do any housework. The wife then pours Carling around the house and husband licks it up. She then tries to pour it on her, but the beer is all gone. |

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. |

Probably not seen in the UK but here in Ireland we had the Tayto crisp TV add which was set in the Stone age where they were giving out the rewards for the best invention, naturally the Crisps were first with the Wheel second and one guy say to the other " I'm sure the crisps will catch on lm not so sure about the wheel " |

"Bodyform ads that showed if you used their products it would improve your rollerblading skills. "
Or suddenly be able to ride a horse… not advisable as they don’t make good G-strings  |

I know that they are silly, predictable, and basically repetitive but I can't help liking the Meerkat 'Compare the Market' advertisements, which always raise a smile. |

Carling black label did an ad that looked like it as 5 adverts one offer the other with a cowboy running through each one
They also did the "I bet he drinks Carling black label"
Also let's not forget the Skol adverts with the Skol song
"Skol Skol skol Skol Skol Skol Skol Skol skol Skol Skol Skol...."
Catchy isn't it

"Showing my age !! For mash get smash!! With the alien robot’s lol "
Those ads were on when I lived in Wales. The Ford plant in Swansea found there was a lot of parts going missing and found workers were making alien robots out of them and selling them. |

"I grew up with Aussie ads and I still like "Happy little vegemites" and I know all the words. 
Don't know if that showed in the UK?
Also love love love the Creature Comfort ads for The Electricity Board (I think). Aardman Animations. "

I remember a Crunchy Nut Cornflake ad years ago, when a bloke zip-wired from one apartment block to another, and landed at a bowl of said cereal on the kitchen table
I remember it made me laugh. |
