I'm not sure how often these are on tv everywhere else, but they aren't that common on australian tv.

They are so over dramatic... this is the full version to a "Gucci" by Gucci advertisement, except on tv here- they only show half of it... the chicks look high.

This is L - "L.A.M.B" by gwen stafani... the end is a little strange.

I realize that, USA invented the bull **** mini movie commercial :)

Thats not the point of the thread anyways, I was asking if everyone else knew some strange ads.

Another thing- I know singers have more then one version of video clips, but I didn't know they need to make ones for the US market... Eg - Bleeding love by Leona Lewis.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=5-ctIC65PV0 - US version
http://youtube.com/watch?v=sF84pIhP5UM - everyone else (I quite like that one better)

Delta Goodrem - In This Life
http://youtube.com/watch?v=Jep1mFJKKJ0 - Us version (I like this one better)
http://youtube.com/watch?v=XzUNOvj8EVE - Aus version, I hate this. It's boring. But apparently it was to "get back to basics"?.. sure. lol

Chill Mawtdawg, You said "I'm not sure how often these are on tv everywhere else, but they aren't that common on australian tv." and she commented on that -_-.

The only fragrance commercial I can think of is the one with Nicole Kidman, I hate them. They're useless but their overall design is smooth and elegant so I guess that's a plus.

You gotta realize they don't have many options since it's a fragrance... How do you advertise smell? You don't, you just get a celebrity to make a mini movie commercial to advertise it. :P

You could flash free sample on the screen ;)
Of cource I understand that, I'm not questioning why they make them, I just wanted to see some more ones people think are strange.
