118 118 Spoof Ads: The Original Sweded Clips?
Okay, okay – this one is an oldie but still a goodie. Remember the famous 2003 Honda ad "Cog" (some say the best Honda ad ever)? It took 606 tries to shoot the 2 minutes-or-so clip – no trick photography or computer graphics was used. If you don’t remember (or want to see it again), here it is:

Well, here’s the spoof version (well, "sweded" but this was done well before the term was invented), also made without any computer graphics, but I’m pretty sure didn’t take 606 takes to make:

BTW, 118 118 is a telephone directory service in the UK. They’re quite famous for having spoof ads featuring the two mustachioed men (the "118 118 twins"). Here are a couple of their ads:

And lastly, here’s another spoof of Honda’s ad. This time the famous Honda Choir ad (first clip is the ad, the next clip is the spoof):
