Ladbrokes - The Believer
By now something of a legendary gambling TV commercial, The Believer was a hilarious ad campaign launched by Ladbrokes back in 2014 (it still seems like yesterday to us!).Featuring a line-up of wildly diverse blokes strutting their stuff in and around London, the ad takes a silly but hilarious approach to gambling by channelling energy from movie directors such as Tarantino and Guy Ritchie. We see the boys go-karting, dancing around and, of course, gambling. Revolving around sports betting on your phone –
a rapidly growing business today yet one which, back in 2014, was something of a new idea still – the ad really hit home with those of us who love to gamble on the national sport; football! Highlighting ideas like cash out and more, The Believer is a seriously hilarious gambling ad that is still discussed today by those in the know.
Gala Bingo – Bingo Like A Boss
The next item on our list of 3 hilarious gambling tv commercials could be the best of them all. In Gala Bingo’s Bingo Like A Boss campaign, an elegant woman enjoys bingo online on her mobile at Gala. However, we soon see that the woman is in fact using an exercise bike during her time on the bingo site – even strumming an electric guitar with her feet. Highlighting that multitasking is possible while enjoying online bingo, the whole thing is topped off when a man, seemingly the woman’s husband, enters and looks at her with amazement.
Foxy Bingo – Cash Out
Foxy Bingo could have the finest bingo mascot of the lot – everyone knows the Foxy Bingo Fox!In this hilarious commercial, Foxy enjoys his birthday party surrounded by friends in what is a heartwarming yet hilarious commercial. Sounds simple? It is, but anything with Foxy as the star always gets our vote for hilariousness!-
