Did they mean it?
There's one advert on telly at the moment which makes me chuckle every time, but for all the wrong reasons.

I think it's an advert for low fat yoghurt.

A group of bridesmaids are on the roof, showering a happy looking crowd with tons of confetti.

The confetti's made from shredded diet books, which the girls are cheerfully putting through an industrial shredder because, presumably, the bride doesn't need them any more.

Got in to a spot of trouble with my girlfriend when I admitted to why I was laughing.

Which advert(s) do you find unintentionally hysterical?

That laxative one...
With a Sex and the City theme.

Actually the words 'what the fuck?' come to mind when I watch it.

I don't get it
What is unintentionally hysterical about it?

What Light said
I just thought it was yet another unbearably shite advert, I hadn't spotted any humour in it.

She's getting married
She doesn't need all her fad diet books any more, so she's not just getting rid of them, she's celebrating that they (may have) helped get her to the wedding and letting the torn pages rain down on the congregation, never to be read again.

Made me chuckle, anyway.

Those marrieds do let themselves go...
I don't have a television (I download stuff through iPlayer and 4oD) so I don't really see many adverts, but I saw that trumpet/sweet based one in a hotel room recently and laughed for ages at the sheer oddery.

A while ago now
But that lame one for Disney world where the kids can't sleep and are talking about it. The little girl has a face that you just 1want to smack and she simpers "Mum says it's just magical!". Now for no reason, this has become a stock phrase between me and my friends for describing something awesome.

Additionally, that trumpets one makes me do the lols too. Can anyone confirm whether or not the voice is done by Matt Berry (he plays Douglas in the IT Crowd)? Ta!

@Kitty
It is indeed Matt Berry. He is also George the Volcano in the Volvic ads.

See - i don't fin dthe trumpets one funny at all.
It's like someone's visited B3ta, thought - 'Oh, I like that, how can I do something wacky and off the wall like that?!'

So they bring in an advertising company who don't find something funny and make an advert out of it, but TRY REALLY hard to make a surreal advert. You can see the sheer amount of thought they've put into it - Effort does not = Funny.

I can only ever imagine it holding appeal for the poor souls who've never experienced this lively site.

Some of our homegrown B3tards would have done a much better job than that.

Although, at least they got Matt Berry.

Tena Lady Ultra
Yep, while she's running around chasing her lovely son and laughing without a care in the world, SHE IS PISSING HERSELF AND A FANCY RAG IS CATCHING THE DRIPS. Just remember that.
