Haha, these are some pretty funny ads. I took a picture of a funny ad in U.S. bank, where a 'smart' guy gets hit in the face with a golf club by a blonde. Then, it says if you're smart, you'll get the banks credit card. Here is the ad.

Re the Stamford Hotel ad – you obviously have no idea about irony or humour in ads. Or maybe the Australian humour doesn’t translate.

I used to work for that hotel chain – that video has generated over 1.7M hits on You tube (not up there with the wedding entrance dance, but still pretty respectable) and was the reason about 80% of people decided to book the package.

Plus – that advert was never produced for broadcast.
