I was talking to a friend about the Lleyton Hewitt ad on tele - the one where he is stuck inside a cubicle without toilet paper - and she thinks it's hilarious. Although much to my amusement and her eventual embarrassment, she thought at the end of the ad when a member of the crowd yells out 'Wipe him off the court Lleyton!' that he said 'Lay off the corn Lleyton!'.

I remember when the Bic shaver ads used to be on about a year ago and I just didn't understand them. They were the ones where a guy would walk past a billboard with a pic of a shaver (or rest his head on a magazine with the ad )on it and end up with half of his face shaved. For some reason it took an explanation for me to understand this.

Have you ever misinterpreted an ad out of stupidity or confusion?
