Here's (http://www.boardsmag.com/screeningroom/commercials/2160/) another one that I know I've seen before where everyone's throwing water balloons at each other.

Watched this the other day, and thought it was pretty good for a Microsoft advert. Adverts need to go this way if they're going to have an effect on us.

That was pretty funny.
I can see why it would be banned, but I don't know why anybody would actually ban it. The world these days :shameful:

It's not actually banned. Read the joystiq article i linked to above and you'll see that MS only delayed it's airing and we all blew it out of proportion.

I remember something similar to this. It was a student film that was going around on the net where people used their hands for guns. Except in that one when someone shot someone else a bunch of blood shot out of their heads. There was this crazy guy who made a scope with his hands and was sniping people too. I'll do some searches and try to find it.

I thought the "delayed" commercial was pretty funny.

Especially the guy talking on his phone in his car. LOL

I hate to break it to you all, but both of these derive from the hilarious shootout scene in Spaced (series 2 episode 5).

If you have not seen Spaced, you have not seen the best British comedy of the last ten years.

Go, watch it all now. Both the vids pale in comparison to the shootout in Spaced, which is just pure brilliance.
