10 Funny New Commercials from Around the World

We’ve been a little behind the ball lately with our advertising beat, so today is especially packed with funny commercials. Because after all, humor is the best medicine, and medicine has a tendency to be very addictive, which in turn explains how we got hooked on humorous commercials in the first place. The advertising overlords continue to keep us supplied with our favorite drug, as evidenced by these 10 Funny New Commercials from Around the World.

Institute Drugs & Alcohol “Job” (by Floris Kingma, Belgium)

It’s like all our favorite episodes of The Office crammed into 30 seconds.

Cadbury “You’re Right” (by Nico & Martin, Argentina)

Ahh, boys with their toys. It’s like a bad scene from Blind Date.

Okey “Elephant” (by Didier Barcelo, France)

Kind of reminds us of that Rolo ad with the elephant that never forgets.

Syn Mun Kong Car Insurance “Thai Mung” (by Thanonchai Sornsriwichai, Thailand)

Aw man, we really wanted to see a spectacular crash too.

Fruit by the Foot “Replacement” (by Tom Kuntz, USA)

As kids, we often worried that we’d eat too much Fruit by the Foot and this exact scenario would occur.

Scottish Government Environmental Appeal “Gaz” (by Carolyn Corben, UK)

Brilliant, spectacular and noble!

Audi A4 “Robbery” (by Markus Walter, Germany)

Makes that series of BMW short films with Clive Owen seem all the more ridiculous.

Mentos “Beat It” (by Guy Manwaring, UK)

Especially compared with those awesome old kitschy Mentos ads, this seems super-extra weird.

Guarana Antarctica “Ronaldo” (by Pedro Becker and Felipe Prado, Brazil)

We’d like to see pro athletes in giant foam animal suits more often.

Pulco “Lazy Good” (by The Terri Timely, France)

Little did we know, we now have our own biopic.
