Well, this is the General Board after all.

SQFG - that ad's pretty cute.

My fave would be this Telstra ad:

Or the Chaser's version of QF's ad:

Haha. That's funny, but it's a damn looooong ad for a video channel! I like it when even the ghosts have seen it!

Well, mine would be this from SQ:

My favourite series of commercials was for Carling Black Label in the UK. Of that series my absolute favourite is the one in the laundrette. However first you might need to see the original add it is taking the piss out of

The Chaser's version is the best. I saw it so many times already including once on SQ Krisworld in June / July.

The first one was well-known in Italy too... and the last words are in italian!

I still find it hilarious after so many times. Partially because it's so spot on...

Loved these bits:
"...but no matter how far our off-shore jobs go, the share price is sure to grow. Goodbye Australia we're moving abroad, replacing Neil Perry with a chef from Lahore. And the inflight entertainment will be in Mandarin, more kung fu and less Kath and Kim!"

"Now only foreign girls can **** Ralph Feines. And someday this choir will be outsourced too. And Qantas will be called the Asian Kangaroo."

Oh and the last bit:
"I still call Australia....51% home!"

For context, here are some of the original QF ads "I Still Call Australia Home" with the children;s choir:

This is Digi Malaysia's ad shown just before movies are shown in cinemas asking that people turn off their phones. note: requires a wee bit of knowledge of Malaysian English aka Manglish cum Cantonese. "Tai Koh" as mentioned by the perpetrator literally translated is "big brother" - or in colloquial speak - "gangster"

Part 2, more recent, after our intrepid "tai koh" has been beaten up.

This is a nice one, nykelaz. Never seen it before... Was this ad shown in your country?

I agree that the FA is nice!
