    Default The Best Adverts

    Often, the adverts on TV are better than the programme you're watching. Share any particularly good ones

    I think at some point the Judderman was voted the scariest thing on TV in some inane Channel 4 poll.

    A few nice ones from a Dutch insurance company

    So you understand the context:

    The text says: [they/he] ....Must [have] Delta-Lloyd [insurance], implying that they do ballsy things because of their wonderful insurance.

    My favourite





    And some more from another Dutch nisurance company.

    The text says: ''....Better call Apeldoorn [insurance]'', because they're in a ed-up situation and need da best insurance company in the world.

In view of our divine essence, we need only liberty and work; in view of our mortal nature, we need for our direction a guide and a support. A government is not then, as a distinguished economist has said, a necessary ulcer; it is rather the beneficent motive power of all social organisation.
