Funny Soccer Commercials
Here’s a fantastic selection of some of my favourite funny soccer commercials including some from Wickes, Carlsberg and Pepsi. You may have seen these, or they may be knew to you, but one thing is for sure: they are genius. The highest praise should go to the creators of these adverts- normally adverts are just plain average- as they really stand out from the crowd. Which ones do you like best?
Ronaldo Dives for Wickes
Wickes Carrying Off an Injured Player
Great Goalie Glue from Wickes
Wickes Making a Wall
Wickes Changing Room Construction
Scoring Goals with Wickes
Carslberg Legends Pub Team
Wonderful Carlsberg Sports Drink Advert
2 Pepsi Ads: Beckham v Roberto Carlos
Very Funny Ad from the Child Trust Fund in the UK
Well that’s the end of this list of my favourite funny soccer commercials. I have to say I have a particular bias for the Wickes ones, but they all seem very clever and comic. Interestingly, they all (or mostly) seem to derive their humour from taking you one way and then giving an unexpected twist at the end. This element of surprise and novelty, beyond just the crude humour that you often get, is what I think makes them so great. That, and as a result, the ability to encapsulate the spirit of soccer at any given level and then to mock this right at the end.
