My favourite cny ad...

... surely must be the one from TNB. When I first caught it, it had already started halfway and I thought it was an ad from either Osim or Ogawa promoting their latest water-based vacuum cleaner. You should see the whole family whooshing about with their respective vacuum cleaners. Mrs Chang pointing the long nose of her vacuum to suck the dust off the walls, while the Chang sibilings fly about ala-Matrix in mid air cleaning the living room. The younger son, Chang Chang hops on the railings of the stairs and slides down with a vacuum by his side. Mr Chang sees a stray ball of dust on the floor and rushes to eliminate it. But before he can do that, granma Chang comes in from nowhere, spinning down the hall and knocking off the rest of the family members with her trusty broom. While they are stunned by the appearance of the matriarch, granma Chang lets out an evil laughter. And as quick as she came, so did she sweep off the ball of dust into her dustpan.

At the end of the commercial, the Chang family poses in various kungfu stance with their cleaning machines. Even granma Chang lifts up her leg slightly to show off her agility. But just as she is about to fall, Mr Chang helps support granma from behind.

I think it is a brilliant ad showing the spirit of family ties and unity.
And did you manage to catch the other ad which I also find amusing - the one from TV3 where everything has to be in red?
