The [Cadbury](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/how-do-you-eat-yours) Dancing Clothes advertisement is pretty tough not to love.

The commercial's title speaks the truth: the commercial is all about [clothes dancing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gap-and-parker-posey). Set in what looks to be a thrift store, the commercial starts off with half of a suit dusting himself off. Then the clothing proceeds to start dancing to Jermaine Stewart's "We Don't Have to Take Our Clothes Off." Cue more clothes to join in, and the [ridiculous Cadbury Dancing Clothes ad](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cadbury-bournville) can't help but make you smile.

The connection to the brand is not exactly there until the end of the commercial, at which point the ad copy reads, "A glass and a half full of joy." Cadbury is continuing to associate the brand as the chocolate king of joy through its weirdly amusing commercials.
