Hmm, dunno if NSW has these ads, bu anyway:

The ad on TV promoting Deeko serviettes where the little boy offers to recite a poem he learned at kinder for his Nana at Nana's birthday party - "The boy stood on the burning deck, his pockets full of crackers . . ." Just before he gets to the last word, his mother covers his mouth with a serviette and says "serviette, anyone?".

I love the the ad, which is for ham, where the lady is sampling ham in the supermarket and turns to the crowd of shoppers behind her, with a look of horror on her face, to scare them off,so she can have all the ham to herself.

Another favourite is the one they trot out every year for the cut-off date for Yellow Pages advertising - the "not happy Jan" ad. Brilliant and it still makes me laugh every time I see it.

I know its a fews days late, but there is a few versions of it:

The boy stood on the burning deck,
With a pocket full of crackers.
One went off, two went off,
And burnt his little knackers.

OR

The boy stood on the burning deck,
With a pocket full of crackers.
A flame shot up his leg,
And blew off his knackers.
