strangest advert you''ve ever seen?

This is where you can discuss your homework, family, just about anything, make strange sounds and otherwise discuss things which are really not related to the Lancer-series. Yes that means you can discuss other games.

strangest advert you''ve ever seen?

I saw a rather strange advert for surf, a washing detergent here in the uk, it went:

Surf, removes 99 stains, including bull****

i dont know about srange but the Kylie Minogue Agent Provocateur ad was definitely memorable
suffice to say any more info would probably get this thread locked :-)

the virgin mobile ads are currently do my head in..."the devil makes work for idle thumbs"....trying to hard I think.

not amused.

I guess most Brits here remember the Smash adverts with the martians made out of pots and pans. Apparently they're making some sort of come back.
The old Irn Bru adverts were also distinctly odd, and the Tango ones have always been a laugh, although the naked fat orange man that appeared in the first ads confused the heck outta me.

I've seen that Surf one. The Xcite advert with the guy vomiting the dog was pretty weird, but I think it got banned for some reason.

the wierdest add I've seen in ages is the Iron Bru one where a lady is giving birth and the baby doesn't want to come out.
The nurse trys to intice it out by offering it a can of iron bru, at which it sticks its hand out and grabs it, the add then cuts to a sonogram of the baby drinking the can. the wieredst bit is right at the end when the baby throws the can across the room and into a trash can all without leaving the mother.
needless to say it wasn't aired very often, I think i only saw it twice and one of those was at the cinema

its still running
well it is here
but any of the irn bru adverts are a wheeze
especially the one where the vending machine headbuts the guy
another source of fun was the old Hovis adverts not for the ads themselves
but for all the comedy sketches they spawned over the years
