As well as catchy jingles, catch-phrases and humour animation is also widely used in television advertisements. The pictures can be hand-drawn or computer animation which is very popular nowadays can be used. By using animation, a commercial may have a definite appeal that is hard to achieve with actors or simply product displays. That’s why an animated advertisement (or even series of such ads) can be very long-lasting, some decades in many instances. Very often the animation is combined with real actors.
