For a long time, Indian advertisements have been inseparable from Indian cricket. The two have evolved their identity hand in hand, and have treated us to some really funny gems over the past.  Cricketers are known as one of the most marketable breeds in India, along with celebrities. Banking on their popularity, brands attempt to create ads which go with the image of the cricketers. In some cases it leaves us in stitches, in other cases the laughter caused was unintentional.  In the following cases, the ads when viewed in today's context, make way for some rich laughter. Here is a look at 5 funny ads from the 90s, guaranteed to make you laugh.

#1 Nothing official about it

Sachin made sure to bring the laughs

During the 1996 Cricket World Cup, Pepsi were unable to secure official sponsorship for the event. Not being one to back down, they started a campaign with the slogan "Nothing official about it."

An ad featuring Sachin Tendulkar showed him breaking a vehicle's glass, before being chased away by the driver. The driver makes a show of chasing him before cornering him. He then instead of chastising him, offers him a Pepsi. 

Sachin then turns his cap backward, as if to hide the logo on the cap, before leaning forward conspiratorially and saying, "Nothing official about it."
