ADVERTS / COMMERCIALS as a source of English

I would like to ask my colleagues for some useful tips on easy-to-understand adverts / commercials in English that could be used on EFL lessons. I mean the ones that are easily accessible on Youtube. On our TV we often have adverts by foreigner coompanies that used English only and students like to use words and phrases from them.
Thanks for your suggestions!

Hi Ivanabu!
I have used bith videos and ads to raise discussion in class about that topic.
You could use "blunder advertising", but you must choose the images carefully according to your ss age.
there are also many videos, such as this one:

My favorite commercial, which you can find on Youtube is:
Coca Cola Zero.
A young guy (the hero) comes in a store and meets his ex-girlfriend.
Her new boyfriend comes into the picture and he �s tall.
Here you can talk about camera angles.
The hero takes a drink of the coke - and along comes a hot babe! (his new girlfriend)
She �s very cool because she �s tall, blond,sexy, wears high-heels and- she �s hot because she speaks with a British accent.
Here you can talk about values, clothes, the music etc.
The British babe asks him if he wants whipped cream or chocolate sauce. (sexual undertones)
Then the roof opens up and he and his new girl fly off into the night. (James Bond) (showing how much more exciting his life is now) Life as it should be.
Here you can talk about slogans
You can talk about body language and much more!
Sorry if this isn �t what you were looking for - but it �s fun to analyze these commercials.
