I have seen a great TV ad today, it was for some wireless company.

A girl approaches two trailers (like the mobile construction office type), representing the good and bad companies. One is advertising cheese sandwiches (!) with a spinning model of such, so she opens the door and walks in. She is seated at a table and the proprietor, an older eastern European fellow in biker shorts, motions to his young colleague to play some mood music on the fancy boom box. Music blaring and lights flashing, the boss hits a button on the sandwich vending machine at the end of the room, which spits out a cheese sandwich for our heroine.

Upon biting into her meal, she is hit with a foul combination of taste and texture, spits it out, and complains to Mr. Biker Shorts. "But it has fur!" she explains. He is having none of it, and points to the sign she had ignored, which shows that the $20 sandwich will actually come to $57 and change after handling charges. Relying on her wit to get her out of this jam, she motions to "look over there, an eagle!" and escapes out the door.

She then enters the other trailer, and is bathed in a soothing blue light. Beckoning from the back of the room is a sign announcing "pancakes, sold by the bite" and "hugs for everyone!!" And instead of the cheesy boom box, she is serenaded by a smooth soul fellow dancing about the room. Now this is more like it!

I hope i have remembered things correctly. Of course, you really should SEE it, but hopefully that conveys the idea. Please share ads you enjoy. (I also am very fond of the Miller Hi-Life ads from a few years back - "the powdered sugar on the donut provides a protective barrier to any dirt etc..." - "time was when a man could control his own vehicle" OOH on that one I love how you can see his lips say PATHETIC!! as the guy bumbles with his trailer)

i saw one in the states a while back, for orange juice but the same idea was kinda used for those x-fm adverts here in england...

anyway, kids sat at table drinking juice. small orange character pops out from behind box, legs, head, face, hat etc.

kids go mental, jump up and run screaming from room. mother attacks it with broom.

er, guess you had to be there...
