I can confirm this was shown on UK TV although most probably after the 9pm watershed.
I found it interesting to watch the Russian? advert for Marx then the advert for Axe for a different country with the exact same music in the background.

Don’t knock JFK, he’s awesome too.
I was surprised to find out that the guy who draws these things is the same person that did Wizard People, Dear Reader. He’ll kick you apart!
Two vintage car ads, both featuring catchy music and classic cartoon characters. The spunky* speedster makes perfect sense as a pitchman for a car named after himself, but behind the wheel of a Beetle? Okay.
[sub]*Yes, I realize that word has a perverse meaning in other countries. However, I can’t come up with any other aliterative phrases to describe him.[/sub]
I don’t think this has been posted before, but this kid is ready to kick some ass.
This video has become an absolute classic on another message board I visit.

Not one visited by English teachers, I bet. Of course, most NASCAR fans have wider vocabularies . . . don’t they?
This one made the rounds extensively last year. I even posted a link to it in another thread.
In keeping with the season, here’s the ugly truth about the Easter Bunny.

I think this is great - its a misheard lyrics video to Fall Out Boys’ This Aint a Scene…
Apologies if its already been posted, I searched but nothing showed up.
