Okay, okay - this one is an oldie but still a goodie. Remember the famous 2003 Honda ad "Cog" (some say the best Honda ad ever)? It took 606 tries to shoot the 2 minutes-or-so clip - no trick photography or computer graphics was used. If you don't remember (or want to see it again), here it is:

Well, here's the spoof version (well, "sweded" but this was done well before the term was invented), also made without any computer graphics, but I'm pretty sure didn't take 606 takes to make:

BTW, 118 118 is a telephone directory service in the UK. They're quite famous for having spoof ads featuring the two mustachioed men (the "118 118 twins"). Here are a couple of their ads:

[YouTube Link: 118 118 Flashdance] Disturbing! You've been warned.
And lastly, here's another spoof of Honda's ad. This time the famous Honda Choir ad (first clip is the ad, the next clip is the spoof):

I dressed up as a 118 twin for a sponsored walk about three years back! (well there was meant to be another person but they backed off at the last minute...)
They've changed the actors who play them recently though, now they just annoy me.
I remember in the "heyday" of 118 everytime you got a teacher tell us to turn to page 118 the lesson would have to stop for a minute while everyone sang the 118 theme... good times.
