Your favorite ads from abroad and at home

Postby KateL57 » December 11th, 2006

Okay, saw this in Sarajevo a few years ago and it just occurred to me to search for an English version on YouTube.

Absolutely hilarious in Bosnian. (Evo ga Lav Lali, Cao Lali, fantastican kostim...) Almost as good in English.

Another one I find noteable is a new McDonald's promotion. (Unfortunately this means admitting I've been inside the place) Five new sandwiches, all of them with English names and Slovak translations. My favorite is one which is written out as F*** the hunger (Slovak name fully written out here). Marvellous name for a sandwich...

This Sony ad is amazing... although after some research it's been determined that some of it is computerized... but still amazing!

I love McDonalds ads in different languages. In Finland the TV ads were inpenetrable it sounded a bit like the ads on the TVs in the sims - a bit like :

"Haven der di who under than he manly herve and udfegasten ham per luirerne ger gen gest yerh. Hurstv abgeh kink ken ken kin haven luber Noi! Cender! tak mec haver dens der smacks... " for about a minute then the yellow arches would appear on screen and it would go "bah dah bap eye yah I'm lovin' it"

It cracked me up every time.

This is a sign in one of the windows.

The above Sony ad is pretty awesome. I'm a fan of this one, too - and it is, supposedly, all real.

I like both the Sony ones but the bouncing balls one is amazing - think it's the song that does it for me too though.

I can't believe it's real - who would have volunteered for the job of picking them all up afterwards.....????

Interns, working for free, hoping to get the chance to one day graduate to coffee go'fer, then to running cables, then to second vice assistant to the third assistant cameraman, and so on up the hierarchal ladder of the tv and film industry.

A new one that gives me the giggles every time I see it is Ellen DeGeneres for American Express - it's the one with all the animals. I'm giggling again now, having just found the extended version. Bless YouTube.

(There are also some "making of" bits on YouTube which, yes, I'm going to watch now.)

Not sure what the ad is for. Saw it on the subway in Tokyo and it became an instant classic from the odd ads of Japan.
