Funny Commercials

BANNED

Today's blog isn't about writing. It's about commercials, banned, foreign or just plain funny commercials. Whenever possible, I watch shows like Funniest Foreign Commercials because I get such a kick out of seeing what's acceptable and what's not in other countries. I'll warm everyone up for the big Super Bowl commercials of 2010 by showcasing some commercials that are just plain funny, some foreign and some banned. Let's have a look and a laugh!

Banned Commercials
The following commercials are advertised as banned by the Youtube poster and I have no trouble believing the claim is true. However, where they were banned? That's another mystery.

Microsoft XBox - this one was probably banned for being a little too risqué

Levis - very funny, has a great punchline

Toyota Yaris - a little raunchy

Virgin Mobile - very, very strange

Axe Fragrances - apparently this was banned in 2007. Not sure why other than perhaps some might see it as not "politically correct.'

Foreign
These commercials apparently did air in other countries which often have different standards of acceptability than the US.

Axe Shower Gel - apparently this one actually aired in Australia. No way would it air in the US.

Virgin Atlantic Airlines - again, no way would this air in the US.

Motorola Pager - from Australia, very funny

Funny
GoDaddy.com - this one was rejected for the Super Bowl in 2007

Bud Lite - another Super Bowl 2007 reject.

Molson Canadian Beer - this commercial is really funny, especially if you are Canadian

What's my favorite commercial?
This Motorola Pager commercial probably never aired but was apparently created for France. Check it out, it's great.

Know of a funny commercial whether foreign, banned or just plain hilarious? Send me a comment with a link and I'll post it on a follow up blog next week.
