1. Cadbury's 'Gorilla' (2007)
All it takes is a piece of Cadbury chocolate to make anything possible. A gorilla is absolutely hyped when Phil Collins' 'In the Air Tonight' starts playing. But it's just the buildup. As the song hits its iconic drum solo, the gorilla jumps into action, playing its own drums with intense, 80s-style passion. Ridiculous, brilliant, and bizarre, this Cadbury commercial helped bring the song back to the charts—and, of course, boosted their product sales.
Yes, it's a gorilla playing drums!

7. Thailand's 'Thousand Visits' and 'Knee Gripper' Ads
If you're an avid social media user, you're probably familiar with the terms 'Tham Ngan' and 'Kep Ngan.' These terms may sound familiar, but do you really know what they mean? 'Tham Ngan' and 'Kep Ngan' are actually Vietnamese transliterations of Thai words. 'Tham Ngan' is a transliteration of 'ทำงาน,' meaning 'to work'—in simple terms, it's the process of working to achieve results. On the other hand, 'Kep Ngan' is the pronunciation of 'เก็บเงิน,' meaning 'to save money.' Depending on pronunciation, 'Kep Ngan' can be read as either 'Kep Ngan' or 'Khet Ngan.' Combined, these phrases can be interpreted as 'you must work to earn' or 'save money by working hard.'
The phrase 'Tham Ngan, Kep Ngan' comes from a promotional video in Thailand. The ad tells the story of a man who spends his time drinking instead of working, which leads to poverty and hardship for his family. Eventually, he realizes that only hard work can improve his life, so he begins working hard, saving money, and learning. The charming portrayal of this message helps people remember the importance of working hard, saving money, and contributing to a prosperous nation.
