A still from one of the adverts.
Status: Partially Found
From 2009 to 2010, UK-based electronics retailer Currys had a series of sponsorships during advert breaks of The Simpsons on Sky One [1].
For many of the comedic adverts featured, each would often feature an individual attempting to wait for a delivery, or use, fix, or recycle their household goods. These would often end in such a comedic manner, usually involving slapstick. Examples for these ads include one where a woman attempts to transport her fridge in her car and another where a man tries to watch a programme on TV, which unfortunately falls as a result of it not being screwed on properly.
