I was in the mood for a little comedy this morning (don't know might just be the weather). So I decided to search for some funny or banned soccer commercials.

Commercials are banned for a whole bunch of reasons, most of them stupid. I came across this commercial that was banned because it showed an alien robot getting killed at the end.

I'm so proud to be German, and I think 1.FC Union Berlin is my new favorite club in the Fatherland (sorry, Karlsruher FC) thanks in part to this ad (thanks to my man Eddie Davidson for the tip).

Nike always seems to come up with great soccer commercials. This new one titled "Take It To The Next Level" is a snippet cronology of a unknown player living out his dream of a soccer supper-star.

Here's the official blockquote.

The ad follows the fortunes of an unknown teenager who is plucked from a youth team game by Arsene Wenger and ends up starring for Arsenal and Holland.
