I don’t know what it is about life in the UK, but British commercials are HILARIOUS!
This weekend during X-Factor, a new commercial (sorry — advert!) aired for Yeo Valley organic dairy products.
It aired only once, but it was GLORIOUS — a boy band of HOT FARMERS, appropriately named “Churned” — singing about organic farming and staying in tune with nature, with lyrics like “Family farming has been the driving factor, plowing into the future aboard a shiny tractor.” Oh, and they drink milk in a very sexy manner.

And my favorite from my last visit to the UK: “Groovy Kind of Love” by Walkers chips, known everywhere else in the world as Lays:
I love the Brits — they don’t take themselves seriously, and that’s what makes British commercials so funny.
