Aleksandr and Sergei return in this hilarious compilation of bloopers!  Boy, these guys get funnier and funnier…

There is a new advert as well, but it’s not particularly good.  So here’s an interview with a reporter from The Scum newspaper.

I don’t know if this is creepy or cute, but it is clever…

Laugh?  I nearly wet ‘em!

He cannot find you cheap car insurance.  He’s having far too much trouble making adverts…

Alexsandr Orlov returns!

Our favourite meerkat, Alexandr Orlov, returns in this short ad.  It seems that people are still confusing Compare The Market with Compare The Meerkat!

What I really love about this one is when Alexsandr starts mouthing the words.  It really is quite a catchy little number…

The new Samsung UltraTouch phone is a neat bit of kit.  But it looks as if Samsung aren’t entirely convinced that being a neat bit of kit is enough.

Big Boss:  “Nobody’s gonna be interested in yet another touch screen phone.  We need a different approach.  Ideas?”

Ad Man:    “Cute animals sell stuff, don’t they?  It’s worked for Andrex down the years.  We’ll use hamsters and hedgehogs, you know, small furry things.”

Big Boss:  “BINGO!”

And this sickeningly cute advert packed with horribly cute animals is the result.

Adverts.  They’re whole reason for commercial television.  We have the BBC for quality programmes and commercial stations for adverts.  And, occasionally, an advert comes along that, no matter hard you try not to, makes you smile.  You might not like the product or even remember what the advert was for, but you can’t deny their genius.

Here’s a few of my recent favourites:

PG Tips.  Monkey and Johnny (The Stripper)

Since they decided to do away with the chimps, PG ads have been a little flat, to say the least.  Then, when ITV Digital went down the pan, Monkey, who was their mascot, found himself being snapped up and shoved on the telly alongside English comedian, Johnny Vegas.  Mildy amusing to start with, they really seem to have hit their stride with this one which will surely be remembered as one of the all time greats.  There’s not much to choose, by the way, between this and the Morcambe And Wise sketch the advert is based on.

Cravendale Milk.  Footballer, Cow and Pirate (The Last Glass)

Stop-go animation isn’t unheard of in adverts, but rarely has it been as mental as this.  A cyclist, a cow and a pirate sharing a house and a love of milk.

The cry of MILK! MILK! has made this an absolute favourite of mine so much so, it’s now the message alert on my phone!

Compare The Market.

Adverts for websites are usually rubbish.  Condescending twaddle aimed at a generation who think the aeroplane is the height of technology.  Confused.com are currently running an advert in which a young person claims the new-look site ‘rocks’.  It’s a site that compares insurance quotes.  How the hell it’s supposed to ‘rock’ is beyond comprehension.  And as for Moonpig…

Anyway, there is one campaign that stands head and shoulders above the rest.

Presenting, for your pleasure, Aleksandr Orlov.  A meerkat.  Class.

Cadbury Dairy Milk.

Beats the drumming gorilla hands down.  Completely bonkers, this is an instant classic.
