    An advertising classic!

    Yes, for a long time, UK TV adverts have been a reason to watch TV with some of the funniest viewing in just a few short seconds.

    Well I've just seen a new classic on the telly, and being the nice bloke I am, here's a link to see it for yourself...

    Ladies and Gentlemen, I present Quaker Oats and Windy miller:

    The Uncle Guber Advert

    A new classic!

    Advertising is so much better when people invest a small amount of money making the ad great.

    I do like the quaker adverts at the moment, they are funny! I love it when they mix childrens with a little bit of adult humour!

    It says a lot about the state of TV when the adverts are better than most programmes really, doesn't it :-/
