<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>This Bank Holiday Weekend marks the 60th anniversary of Elizabeth II's reign, with thousands of Britons&nbsp;up and down the country celebrating the Jubilee.&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">So, seeing as this is an occasion is to celebrate all things British, we thought we would get into the spirit by taking a look at the most shared adverts from UK brands.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Having just been named 'creative agency of the year' at the <strong>Webby Awards</strong>, it is no surprise to see that <strong>BBH London</strong>&nbsp;has stormed the advertising scene this side of the water, with a total of four ads in the top ten.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Campaigns include their<strong> Yeo Valley</strong> 'singing farmer' ads, this year's <strong>Three Little Pigs Guardian</strong> spot, as well as the<strong> London Marathon The Day After</strong>&nbsp;ad.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">As for the spot that takes the throne, let's just say it involves a group of felines that happened to have evolved an extra digit!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">So before you get ready to watch the Queen on the telly, why not check out the most shared British brand ads to really get you in a royal mood...</p>

<p><span style="font-weight: bold; text-align: left;">The Jubilee Weekend is almost upon us. So let's celebrate it as the queen would wish, surrounded by corgis.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">She's been reigning over us for <strong>60 years</strong>, in which time she's seen 13 prime ministers come and go. So it is just as well that throughout her reign she's been able to rely on one group of trusty supporters - her <strong>beloved corgis</strong>.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The pint-sized pooches are no longer just <strong>Her Majesty's</strong> favourite dogs, they're the internet's favourite dogs!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">So, slip off your crown, have your valet pour you a G&amp;T and enjoy the <strong>Top 10 Corgi Clips</strong>.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Happy Jubilee Ma'am!</p>

<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>You may remember them from the kids' programmes of your childhood. They sang to you, told you stories and showed you the wonders of sticky-back plastic. But Wool Actors face an injustice that most of us don't know about, The Woolly Actors Guild is trying to change that.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The <strong>Woolly Actors Guild</strong> (WAG) is fronted by <strong>Monkey</strong>, famous for advertising PG Tips. He's leading the campaign to end prejudice against his fellow furry thespians.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">WAG is raising awareness of the discrimination facing woolly actors, who are <strong>regularly refused</strong> serious acting roles based solely on their appearance. The guild's campaign seeks to end this, believing that actors deserve <strong>equal employment</strong> opportunities, regardless of whether they are woolly, furry, feathered or fleshy.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">To help their fight for furry rights, <strong>WAG</strong> have got their paws on audition tapes for classic movies. These tapes are all examples of instances where furry actors were cruelly denied stardom on the basis that they were "too woolly".</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Despite fine performances, woolly actors have been refused roles in <strong>Scarface, Jaws, Notting Hill</strong> and <strong>Jurassic Park</strong>. We implore you, watch these clips and help WAG bring woolism to an end.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">OK, OK, we'll be honest here. There is no such thing as woolism and WAG isn't real. These videos are ads put together by <strong>Mother</strong> for Comic Relief. If you donate to WAG, the money goes to <strong>Comic Relief</strong>. Of course, that's a secret, the clips don't tell you that until the very end.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The hilarious clips have all seen their fair share of likes since they were launched two days ago, with Bungle's fantastic performance in Jaws earning almost <strong>4,000 views</strong> and over <strong>630 shares</strong>.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Whether you're donating to WAG, Comic Relief, or just looking for a nostalgic giggle, we recommend you give these all a watch.</p>

<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Doritos has launched a new spot that features a slightly different <span><span>Mariachi&nbsp;</span></span>band than we are used to seeing.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">They have got their national green attire&nbsp;and their traditional Mexican hats, but this is no ordinary Mexican band, as they appear at parties and perform British Pop classics!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The ad, created by<strong> AMV BBDO</strong><strong>&nbsp;London</strong>, follows the '<strong>Mariachi Doritos'&nbsp;</strong>band as it brings Mexican fun to house parties by singing numbers such as <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uPudE8nDog0">Don't You Want Me</a> by <strong>The Human League </strong>and <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9iJNp3wZcI">Monster</a> by <strong>The Automatic. </strong>Their strapline? <em>'<strong>For fun, add a little Mexican</strong>'.</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The advert is rather comical and also has a surprise factor to it, both key triggers that will help the spot receive shares online.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The spot may offend some Mexican citizens, as it exploits the country's traditional music<span>&nbsp;by having a <span>Mariachi band sing British songs. However, hopefully most will see it as a bit of fun!</span></span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The campaign also has an interactive element to it: the spot directs viewers to <strong>Doritos'</strong> Facebook page that offers them the chance to win a prizes.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The spot was released today and is set&nbsp;to run for four weeks on TV. Online the ad has so far attracted&nbsp;<strong>100 views</strong>,&nbsp;but be sure to see these grow in the next few days. Watch the spot below...</p>

<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>There's a new baby in the family, but as relatives gather to coo over the little chap, he does something very unusual and rather creepy.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">As aunties and uncles fuss over the little <strong>bundle of joy</strong>, they debate who in the clan he most resembles, with&nbsp;<strong>horrifying consequences</strong>.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">At first things aren't all that <strong>awful</strong>. A doting aunt suggests his eyes resemble those of someone else in the tribe. Which they do, their bright and brown and...a little <strong>too big for his head</strong>.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The next suggestion is that he's got Uncle Nacho's <strong>big bushy eyebrows.&nbsp;</strong>Then it's Cecillia's mouth, Grandpa's ears, followed by a thin moustache and then a receding hairline. It's <strong>terrifying</strong>!&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The <strong>minute mutant</strong> alters his features to resemble whoever he's being compared to. Finally, his own mother creates the worst result yet, she can't decide who he looks like. The <strong>tiny terror</strong> becomes a composite of all the freakish faces so far.&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">What <strong>freakish skill</strong> allows him to do this? And how is nobody else as scared as we are?</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The answer is revealed, this is not a horror movie, but an ad for <strong>Direct TV</strong>. The cable network features so many channels that you can see whatever you want. Suddenly it makes sense, the baby is not a <strong>aberration of nature</strong>, but an analogy, the family see what they want to see.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Produced by <strong>Young &amp; Rubicam, Buenos Aires, </strong>the ad is intended to run on Argentinian TV, but has found fame, or infamy, online, g<span>arnering nearly&nbsp;</span><strong>4,500 views&nbsp;</strong><span>and</span><strong>&nbsp;<strong>145 shares</strong></strong><span>&nbsp;since it was launched two days ago.</span>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">It's true that people may see what they want to see. But we're not sure how many people would want to see this ad: it's very creepy.&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The idea behind the ad is great, but we wonder how many people have run away screaming before the big reveal.&nbsp;</p>

<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>There is nothing quite like watching your team score a goal. The ball hits the back of the net, prompting scenes of adulation as the scorer run to the corner flag to celebrate with the fans.&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Beers start flying around the pub and strangers hug each other.&nbsp;It's a fantastic feeling. Surely, for a football fan, there is no better sight. Or is there?&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Imagine if those goal celebrations included special effects. What is the goal celebrations were brought to life with vivid colours?</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Well, this video does just that. Featuring celebrations from famous footballing faces, it adds a totally new dimension to a traditional scene of joy.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Cristiano Ronaldo</strong>&nbsp;has laser vision, <strong>Wayne Rooney</strong> bursts aflame and <strong>Anderson Luis</strong> shoots guns at the crowd.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The video has some great comical moments as well, with <strong>Manchester United's</strong> <strong>Nani</strong> taking out a Star Wars Stormtrooper, <strong>Arsene Wenger</strong> riding a toy horse and the best of all of them - <strong>Arsenal&nbsp;</strong>keeper <strong>Wojciech Szczesny </strong>playing an accordion!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">It's no doubt whoever made this meme was a <strong>Manchester United</strong> fan, with the best clips dedicated to their players and the comical effects mostly applied to <strong>Arsenal</strong>!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Nonetheless, whoever you support, it makes for a great watch and has already been viewed over <strong>2 million</strong> times and shared on <strong>36,000 times</strong>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Watch the amusing video below...</p>

<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>As Britain prepares for the Diamond Jubilee this weekend it seems as though everything from shops to ships and from vans to vicars is sporting a Union Jack. Even our favourite American sweets aren't immune to flag fever.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Red</strong> and <strong>Yellow </strong>are the<strong>&nbsp;</strong>wise-cracking candies, who, in thick American accents, represent&nbsp;<strong>M&amp;Ms</strong>&nbsp;in various misguided adventures.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Now, the<span>&nbsp;famous '<strong>spokescandies'</strong> are attempting to get into the Jubilee spirit by being more British, which seems to involve some badly imitated accents and even worse fashion.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">To celebrate the <strong>Jubilee,</strong> M&amp;Ms is releasing limited edition packs, which only contain red, white and blue sweets. Poor Yellow is desperate to be included and tries to convince Red that he can be <strong>"British enough"</strong>.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">For his first attempt, Yellow appears in a&nbsp;<strong>bowler hat</strong> and tie, with briefcase and umbrella in hand. Red is not convinced, so Yellow tries a <strong>tweed suit</strong> complete with monocle and demands <strong>"do put the kettle on, what what".</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Yellow continues to roll out costumes of stereotypical <strong>'British' costumes</strong>, including a <strong>cockney punk</strong> and a prancing <strong>morris dancer</strong>.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Finally, Yellow appears in a skimpy <strong>Union Jack mankini</strong>, with matching top hat and wellies. It might seem the most unlikely costume of the lot, but he'd blend right in with most stag do's, or in the <span>fancy dress loving 'Barmy Army' <span>of</span></span>&nbsp;England cricket fans</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Put together by <strong>AMV BBDO</strong>, the ad is made for TV but has won <strong>over 560 views</strong> online. Given its Jubilee theme and the fact that the special edition is UK-only, the ad's appeal might be limited to our green and pleasant land.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">As keen as Red and Yellow seem to be to celebrate the Jubilee, they are completely oblivious to the oh-so-British street party happening just outside their window.</p>

<p><strong>As Euro 2012 draws closer, football fans all over England are letting themselves dream of football coming 'home'. But the fans aren't alone, a former England star is already waxing lyrical about England's chances.</strong></p>
<p>The normal relationship between <strong>poetry and football</strong> is thousands of voices tunelessly shouting <strong>chants about pies</strong>. But <strong>Three Lions</strong> veteran <strong>Ian Wright </strong>is changing all that in this ad for<strong>&nbsp;Absolute Radio.</strong>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Wrighty</strong>&nbsp;hosts the station's <em style="font-weight: bold;">Rock N' Roll Football </em>show, combining football commentary and music with chat and banter. Throughout Euro 2012, he'll be fronting the station's coverage of the competition, providing&nbsp;<strong>full commentary</strong> of all England matches.&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="text-align: left;">To celebrate, Wright stars in an ad to inspire England fans.&nbsp;</span><span style="text-align: left;">The clip features the striker-turned-pundit reading </span><strong style="text-align: left;">Rudyard Kipling</strong><span style="text-align: left;">'s inspirational poem </span><strong style="text-align: left; font-style: italic;">If </strong><span style="text-align: left;">to images that chart the glories and the heartbreaks of the national team's past.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Fans watching the clip relive the agony of Maradona's <strong style="font-style: italic;">Hand Of God </strong>goal in the 1986 World Cup and&nbsp;<strong>Gazza's tears</strong> during Italia '90. Wright implores fans to believe, to hope and to <em><span style="font-weight: bold;">"</span><span style="font-weight: bold;">fill the unforgiving minute with 60 seconds worth of distance run</span><span style="font-weight: bold;">"</span></em><em style="font-weight: bold;">. </em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">What if all this happens?<span style="font-weight: bold;"> <strong>Bobby Moore</strong></span> </span><span style="font-weight: bold;">and the 1966 England team give the answer: V</span><span style="font-weight: bold;">ictory.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The ad itself is winning fans, with over <strong>22,000 views</strong> in just three days. Appearing on Twitter and Facebook, it seems as though the ad, and it's message, is spreading.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Whatever happens on the pitch, <strong>inspiration</strong> like this will guarantee a roaring crowd for the Three Lions.</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">It was only a few weeks ago we wrote about <strong>Paddy Power's </strong>controversial <span>tongue-in-cheek</span>, '<a href="http://mememachine.viralvideochart.com/blog/2012/5/4/has-paddy-powers-new-ad-crossed-the-line.html">Goal-Line Technology</a>' spot, featuring a plan to keep the team focused during the tournament.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">This time around their latest idea to 'help' doesn't seem as if it will keep England too focused. Paddy Power is now suggesting all the players need is 'a bit of team bonding, Eastern-European style'.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span>The spot is the latest in a number of risqu&eacute; ads from the Paddy Power's '</span><strong>We Hear You</strong><span>' campaign and features&nbsp;</span>a number of look-alikes who fill the boots of the national superstars.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The advert sees a dodgy phone camera pan around a rave in the woods, as you spot <strong>Wayne Rooney</strong>, <strong>Steven Gerrard</strong>, <strong>Frank Lampard</strong> and <strong>Joe Hart</strong> all 'having it large'.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The ad's most comical moment has to be when the camera turns to see <strong>Rio Ferdinand,</strong><strong>&nbsp;</strong>and the voice-over reads 'gatecrasher alert!'&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">I'm rather hoping Uncle Roy does not implement this tactic for the tournament next month, however, it makes for quite a hilarious scenario.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The ad has already had over <strong>100,000 views</strong>&nbsp;and over <strong>400 shares </strong>online. Watch it below...</p>

<p><strong>It's that classic scene again. Bare feet splash through the surf, as white-clad men run in slow motion along a windswept beach. But as the iconic music kicks in, it's clear something is not quite right.</strong></p>
<p>These men are far<strong> too old and out of shape</strong> to be athletes. This isn't <em><strong>Chariots Of Fire</strong></em>, it's a very good spoof of the classic film, and it's advertising the most unlikely of things.</p>
<p>The men <strong>huff and puff</strong> their way across the sand; they're not running for fun. They're running away from <strong>something scary</strong>. As the largest of the lads stops to <strong>catch his breath</strong>, we can see what he's running from.</p>
<p>Catching up with the gang is a giant finger in a doctor's coat. This <strong>scares the big lad</strong> enough to get him running again. The text explains why he's so scared of the giant digit, <strong>"if you're over 40, don't run away from the prostate exam".</strong></p>
<p>Which is sensible advice, until you consider the eye-watering size of that finger. We doubt that the ad for <strong>A.C. Camargo</strong> cancer hospital will have men running to make appointments.</p>
<p>Produced by <strong>JWT USA</strong>, the ad is set to run in Brazil and Latin America. Launched yesterday, the ad has already attracted nearly <strong>400 views</strong> and has been making appearances in articles and on blogs.</p>
<p>The ad is dispensing sound medical advice, but in a <strong>buttock-clenchingly scary</strong> way.</p>
