I was trying to find something on Youtube and got distracted when I found this video instead. While the title is called "4 Banned Commercials" it's actually from a TV show called Outrageously Funny Commercials....I nearly spat out my drink with the first one that I found the funniest and has an unexpected ending ...and thought I'd share them with you.
Have you ever seen a commercial that was the funniest thing you've ever seen--which one? Or did you see one that brought tears to your eyes (I cry at that ASPCA one with that singer singing that song "Angel") How about commercials that should never been brought to existence and are irritating as heck?
Here's the video:

Hi Pye! 
Thanks for the link, I got a good laugh from those commercials and it's no wonder they're banned from TV! LMBO!! Oh the things people come up with these days, where do they get these ideas? 
lol However, the ASPCA commercial, I can't watch it. I turn the channel when it comes on because it just tears me up inside so see all those animals that were abused. It makes me so damned angry too and want to go after these low lifes but not knowing who they are, I can't so I don't watch that commercial at all.

I look at mine from time to time and wonder if they really know how lucky they are to be in a home that lets them come inside and are well fed and loved like they are. Hubby and I have chores to do every day twice a day and that's making sure everybody has fresh water which is in three places, inside and out and we have a water container that warms their water outside so it doesn't freeze and we give them all their treats, morning and at night, and the cat box is scooped twice daily. I feel this way, they certainly can't do it themselves so I will gladly.

Oh, I'm so aggravated, I miss all the fun stuff. I have dial-up Pye, and it takes me FOREVER to even view a video or ecards. The last time I viewed a video it took me ten minutes to even download it, and then it was in slooooowwwww motion. My computer is too old and not updated at all. I miss out on so much stuff it's pathetic. 
Someday I'll be up to date with everyone here on earth, haha.

Awww-sorry to hear that. My friend has dial up and often when I be at her place she lets me use her computer...or at least she did when I still didn't have mine...and yes, it drove me bats how slow dial up is---she doesn't use her computer that much so it's not a big deal for her

Yeh, it wouldn't be so bad if I used it once in a while, that would be fine. But I do my article writing, keyforcash, ebay, and whatever else I can find to make a small bit of money, can you imagine? It's extremely frustrating for me, but what am I gonna do. It's all I got, and at least I have a computer, right? I'm using the old Internet Explorer too, and I'm afraid to download anything new because I think it'll mess the whole computer up. Some websites are so advanced I can't even view them. I wish you lived close to me, I'd have you come over and take a peek, haha.

I haven't downloaded the newer version of Firefox since I've heard a lot of horror stories about it making computers crash all the time...and I don't need that. But since I do have an older version I can't access different websites either so have to switch to my Mac Safari browser which is more up-to-date...what kind of dial up company do you have? Verizon DSL isn't too bad...about $29 a month...I've heard some providers charge a LOT more

I will have to save the e-mail and watch later (youtube blocked at work). But it reminds me of the IKEA sales event commercials the last two years. I love a bargain as well as anybody, but I found both of them really annoying...

Is that the one where the woman drives a truck yelling "They're having a sale"--then races back to IKEA?

Alot of commercials are just down right stupid and take things to extremes to make their stupid point and sell their product. I think these commercials you speak of are from a special they had on tv afew months ago. They were halarious. I used to get upset with my ex when he would surf the channels when a commercial came on and now I do the same thing. I hate them and I don't watch a commercial very often.

Oh, I'm so glad I paid attention and didn't have anything in my mouth! Thanks for warning me. Hubs thought it was a hoot too.
While I was there, I saw this one. That would be a selling point, for sure!!

I love Banned Commercials. Some of them are hilarious. The Axe shower gel one were the naked guy falls through the floor into a aerobics class is funny. Most of them are kinda riskey There is a master card one that is so bad, I couldn't believe it. It obviously wasn't meant for American audiences.
