[It’s](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wDzPvNzbzE) pretty amusing, I thought. ---

It’s on all the time here at the mo. It is funny but as Mr McMillan says everytime it comes on, ‘yeah, like that’d be a contest!’. 😛 ---

Since I don’t follow tennis that much, I only recognized McEnroe’s name; I thought this was going to be some crazy tennis/Star Trek crossover. ---

I like this current [one](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TnzFRV1LwIo) for Cadbury’s Dairy Milk. It’s got a gorilla, and is otherwise pleasingly random. ---

Not just pleasingly random but actually manages to move me a bit emotioanlly. Very powerful. Pity it’s for bloody Cadbury’s, eh? Hasn’t crossed the border possibly, coz I admit I watch rather a lot of telly and I’ve never seen it. I wonder what other little advertising treasures are reserved for Scottish eyes only? 😕 ---

[This one](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xfiqrkV_ZqI) wasn’t shown much even up here because Raymond Briggs wasn’t happy about the infringement of his copyright. It’s the best ad ever though - the Irn-Bru Snowman. ---
