Amusing Ads: Aviva MultiCar & Ollie The Fisherman

I'm a sucker for a good car advert. I giggled at the Volkswagen Jetta Star Wars advert. I cringed at the recently released Honda CR-V advert featuring Matthew Broderick, digging up Ferris Bueller from the grave (no link needed, you've definitely already seen it). But at least the latter was directed by Todd Phillips, known best by his directing of The Hangover.

One of the latest auto-related adverts to come out of the UK is one featuring "The Fast Show" comic Paul Whitehouse. In the short ad, he plays a chap named "Ollie" who is a keen Brummie fishing fanatic. Aside from dodgy accents and a plug for Aviva and their MultiCar Insurance Policy, the adverts are littered with witty one-liners. Want a couple of examples?

If you've got a spare moment on Facebook you may stumble upon the Aviva Facebook App. If you feel so inclined, you can wander round Ollie's garage and create a song with Colin The Carp which you can send to your friends. Doing so will likely result in a friend deletion, but you will at least have managed to evade your studies or work for thirty more minutes.

Another amusing ad. Well done Aviva. For the ad, and for sponsoring this post.
