No this is not about Baloki...
My friends and I were bored and as you guess this led to us killing time (and braincells) on Youtube. One thing led to another and we saw some pretty funny commercials that had been banned from television. So what are your favorite banned TV commercials?
Here's a few I liked. ;)
YouTube - Banned Folger's Commercial (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ys1ygfse70s)
YouTube - Banned Commercial - Condoms (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nojWJ6-XmeQ) (word of warning, turn your sound low, trust me...)

I posted a Daffy Duck cartoon on YouTube and put the word "banned" in the title and it's gotten over 1.8 million views.
Seriously. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=by3FVKdaQyE)

Cool! :cool:
My favourite banned ad will always be <a href=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNuRQmvykwk>this Xbox one</a>. Though I don't know if it was actually ever banned or just not shown on TV.
It's more awesome than funny. I really want to do that one day.

There was this really stupid ad for some crummy Australian beer... A bunch of bogans in a car, half of them standing up out the windows, all clutching beer cans alot and cackling drunkenly. That was the whole ad, a pack of pissed yokels driving their jalopy off toward the ocean. It got pulled basically for portraying nothing but driving while drunk and ignoring virtually every other driving law too.
Kes' XBox ad was pretty cool. If you watch it with the sound off, the directing and body-language are pretty brutal.
As for dodgy condom ads, here's a subtle but effective one from Durex (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRWjxdvArPE).
Oh wow, watching the Xbox one without sound does give it an entirely different tone.
Edit: Way to go me for not watching either of the first videos before posting this. >.>
I'm pretty sure the condom one wasn't banned though, and the Folgers one is fake. Still, that condom one is hilarious.

I saw it in the theater a couple of times, and I think it got to TV, but I'm pretty sure it did end up banned over here in England.

I had a teacher that used that condom commercial in sex education.
I like that XBox commercial a lot.

The Folgers did seem odd to be real but its funny no less. The Condom I did see before but apparently it was taken off the air.
