Ridiculous Indian ads are as common as anchors yelling 'breaking news' and Salman Khan taking off his shirt on television.Be it a deodorant commercial promising to turn men into a chick-magnet or an advertisement for a fairness cream that promises to give you the job of your dreams — most products prefer to showcase vague ideas than their actual product benefits, possibly because there actually aren't any.[caption id="attachment_2430298" align="alignleft" width="380"]A screengrab from the video. A screengrab from the video.[/caption]So when comedy group SnG came up with a video spoofing Indian ads vs reality, it was sure to be a hilarious watch. The six-minute YouTube video featuring former VJ Ramona Arena, the 'Ads vs Reality' is a clever parody that shows exactly how meaningless certain ads can be.From pretend doctors endorsing the dermatological benefits of cosmetics to a brand of tea to briefs-and-vest wearing men defending women from harassers to people risking their lives to get a fix of soft drink, you can pinpoint exactly which brand they are targeting and laugh out loud when you recognise which celeb they are spoofing.A particularly funny segment is the spoof on Cadbury ads, which has a young man persuading a young woman to accept a chocolate from a total stranger which results in her getting drugged and abducted.If there is one thing that these ads teach us, it's what NOT to do!Watch the full video here
