    That one with the gorilla is stupid, but the wonderbra one is just right.

    If you`ve ever seen Phil Collins then it makes sense and is a brilliant piss-take! How did they get those policemen to do the riverdance??

    I don't get this ad -- what do Phil Collins, Cadbury's chocolate and a gorilla have anything in common? Having someone explain an ad to someone else has already proven that the ad fails -- it may be entertaining as an internet meme, but for advertising the product it's failed in my books.

    As typically male as my next sentence sounds, the wonderbra spoof makes more sense and does a better job at advertising the product -- shows that even when drumming like a gorilla, there won't be any surprises popping out

    as advertising it's succeeded because you are discussing the product.

    That ad is brilliant!!

    What a fantastic bit of marketing... right down to the last frame:

    "Wonderbra- 2 cups full of joy!!" Thats ****ing gold!!

    Gone but NEVER forgotten. :'(

    And then...

    The fact that it doesn't make sense is what makes it so effective! You WILL remember it!
