Liked the ad, but then, I have a WagonR. So my opinion would be biased.

Anyone saw the Bingo chips ad where they test the "crunchy" factor in various conditions? Found that quite funny especially the end when the old doctor is dancing.

Even the Reliance ad with the cricket theme is quite catchy.

HDFC Standar life insurance ad ! Where the old uncle wants to sack the cook , kaam wali and all and gets his wife depressed before telling her about the Singapore trip is good . I like.

The ICICI ad where the couple is watching the emotional scene on tv and the man gets a policy next day is just ok though.

VETA English speaking ad - the kaam wali singing in English to a surprised student.

Awesome ad.

What about the dance steps executed by the female in the video?

Happened to see the WR (WagonR) ad. I couldn't understand why are they advertising roll which is one of WR's very few weak points. I am talking about the instance when the pretty thing's head comes close to the dude on the wheel as he takes a sharp turn.

Its like Yamaha advertising the small seat on RX100, saying its good as it brings people close.

I like that total nonsensical ad of Orbit chewing gum. A cow is used as the model and its quite funny and similar to the nonsense and not brains supposed to be used ads of MTV

I think her head should have gone the other way, if the car was taking such a turn! But they wanted to show the 'closeness'

heres one of the funniest commercials iv ever seen, might just be me but i think its hillarious

YouTube - Nationwide Auto Insurance Commercial "Bank Brat"

dont know about the banks in india but here you drive up and they put a tube in a shoot that comes to you car window, where you put cheques, id, deposit slips in and hit a button and the tube shoots off back to the teller.
