Default FedEx Commerical (We Have To Get This Box From Here... To Germany???)

For some reason I think this is the funniest thing on TV, I roar everytime I see it.

I've been trying to find it online, but can't seem to stumble upon it.

Anyone know if there's a link to this commerical?

"Ship internationally!" "woa woa woa let's not overcomplicate things here!"

"just working on the middle, working on the fuzzy middle"

Oh my God that ad's a hoot

Yep. So simple, but so well done. It's too bad more comercials weren't this entertaining.

There's a series of radio ads that I find hilarious right now. The one with somebody in scenario where people can't understand them because of a language barriar - one involves a guy getting operated on, another with a foreign tourist wandering into a restricted zone and pushing a button he shouldn't.

But its the third one that cracks me up. Dude speaking English orders some foresign cuisine it sounds like. Then all hell starts to break lose with crazy music, chanting and a strange voice saying "hello" while the guy is screaming.

I have no clue what is happening to the poor SOB but for some reason the ad just slays me.

I have also been looking for the FedEx commerical. If anyone stumbles upon it, it would be HUGE. I haven't seen it on TV in a while, and it absolutely kills me everytime.

It's usually on the Sportnet channels, on Bell at least. Maybe even the NHL Network channel. All I know is that I'm always watching sports when I see that commercial.

It's totally awesome. Doubly so for guys who work in an office alongside business guys, since it's an awesome parody of how business analysts think.

I like the radio one where the guy wins the Set For Life. He checks his mail and he is like "whats this..........I won. I won Set for Life......I can't believe it." The neighbors says "You one that last year Fred (or what ever his name is). You do it every week."

That Fed-Ex ad is great. I wish there were more commercials that had such great replay value.

Nandos ads are always hilarious, although sadly we don't get them in Canada. Here is a link to some of the funny ones though (you might have to wait a couple seconds for them to load and you can't increase the picture size though): http://www.nandos.co.za/company/ads_06.html

Anyone rememberthe singing cow commercials that HP Sauce did some years ago?
