The people in Lebanon cannot even hold a conversation without unrelentingly expressing some sort of dissatisfaction, resentment, and uneasiness. <br \/>  <br \/>  What better way to release your moans and cries than through some laughter? So after making you cry with our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beirut.com\/l\/42698\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noopener\">list of most sentimental Lebanese campaigns<\/a>, we bring you six of the funniest Lebanese advertisements.<\/big><br \/>  <br \/>  <b><big><big>Come to Zahle: Zahle&#8217;s People, Generosity, and Electricity 24\/24<\/b><\/big><\/big><br \/>  <big>Even though my grandma has been dealing with Lebanon\u2019s electricity crisis for decades, she\u2019s never failed to stop moaning about it: kissikhthalbalad, she yells.  The cuts have now become my clock. I know it\u2019s 9:00 A.M. without even a glance at the time, and the electricity will be out for the next three hours. <br \/>  But if you haven\u2019t heard, Zahle now has electricity twenty-four hours and seven days a week. Say whaaat? Yes, I know. I\u2019d like to move there\u2026right now.Electricit\u00e9 De Zahl\u00e9 has releasedvarious short clips to promote this unbelievable service. But the swearing grandma is, by far, the most comical and humorous promotional take.<\/big><br \/>    <iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9rNQl5clyLA\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>  <br \/>  <br \/>  <b><big><big>BEIRUT BY ROUTE \u2013 Delivery<\/b><\/big><\/big> <br \/>  <big>Five years in Beirut, andthere is still one phone call that I dread the most: ordering anything for delivery. It\u2019s so irritating that I will plead and beg anyone to make the call, just as long as it\u2019s not me. <br \/>  The complexity of directions in Lebanon is captured so amusingly well in three one-minute clips to promote Nour Serhan\u2019s street campaign <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=hJZvvKJC51A\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noopener\">\u201cBeirut by Route,\u201d<\/a> which highlights our everyday struggle to describe a specific location without any markers, such as unique house numbering  or street names.<\/big> <br \/>    <iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ncJ7_cMM_ko\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>  <br \/>  <br \/>  <b><big><big>Boecker \u2013 No Doubt \u2013 \u201cBathroom\u201d <\/b><\/big><\/big><br \/>  <big>I could count on one hand the amount of cockroach sightings before my move to Lebanon. And since then? Every morning, I routinely check my toothbrush for any insect sightings, my cup of coffee for any annoying gnat, and the inside of my shoes for any creature that has decided to take a nap. <br \/>  It\u2019s suiting for Boecker Public Health to capitalize on this disgust and fear, as the largest pest management group in the Middle East.<\/big> <br \/>    <iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/127043364\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" frameborder=\"0\" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen><\/iframe>   <p><a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/127043364\">Boecker &#8211; No doubt &#8220;Bathroom&#8221;<\/a> from <a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/amandaaba\">Amanda Abou Abdallah<\/a> on <a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\">Vimeo<\/a>.<\/p><br \/>  <br \/>  <b><big><big>Vape \u2013 All It Needs Is A Spritz!<\/b><\/big><\/big><br \/>  <big>Speaking of cockroaches.I have a seasonal best friend.

In this commercial for Byblos Bank, the grandfather believes his handwritten letters will, somehow, be miraculously sent through e-mail. As we all know, teaching the older generation about technology can take a lot of patience (let alone time). But there are things that will save you time, such as Bank Byblos\u2019 mobile banking application. With this service, you\u2019ll have more of that time to spend on important matters, like teaching your grandfather how to scroll through a webpage.<\/big><br \/>    <iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/heiGLyN_eOY\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>  <br \/>  <br \/>  <b><big><big>Dekkene Delivery: Arrib 3al Tayyib!<\/b><\/big><\/big><br \/>  <big>\u201cCorruption doesn\u2019t wait for anybody,\u201d says one of the street sellers. No, he isn\u2019t selling the standard roses, boxes of tissues, or children\u2019s toys. He, among a group of others, are selling  driver\u2019s licenses, high school and college degrees, taxi license plates, and any other official documents that would usually take a load of time and money. <br \/>  <br \/>  Of course, this was all in good humor to promote <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sakkera.com\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noopener\"> Sakker El Dekkene <\/a> a non-governmental organization with a mission to fight corruption. Citizens can report any incidents, like briberies, by way of text description or byuploading a picture or video of the event.

Don\u2019t be too surprised if you appear on Sakker El Dekkene and lose a little of your dignity.
