Bad Aussie adverts
Just seen a thread in the Trailer park about bad US adverts on TV. Made me realise just how bad the adverts are on TV here in OZ.
I sit and wonder why they bother with half of them.
The one that i really hate at the moment is 4 guys dancing and swinging around trolley's in a supermarket...this advert is for Viva Coffee
Which ones bug you?

Re: Bad Aussie adverts
The woman snogging her boyfriend, and by the end of the advert she's an old lady but he's still young - bleuuugghhhhh. Not seen it for a while actually, so maybe they pulled it? For a Sony camcorder I think.
The only other one I can think of is the small boy who makes a big song and dance about his smelly no.2s. And that's probably an international campaign from the US anyway. In fact, the first one I suggested probably is too. A lot of adverts originate from overseas it seems. Although if someone's shouting, I can tell it's an Australian ad. Originality in Australian advertising = shouting.
Oh, I've thought of a definitely Aussie ad - the one where the tongue goes off in search of beer. Creepy.
And what's with the one where they launch a moose or something into the sky as a sacrifice?
The thrush advert - why is she so smug about taking her thrush medication?
Jetstar ads when they jump in the air - FFS. How cheesy can they make it?
Coles / Woolworths ads - because they're trying to convince us they're food is cheap and high quality. HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA.
David Jones / Myer - who cares which Australian model they use to front their latest TV commercial? No one's heard of them outside of Australia (and most Australians haven't either)
The Dodo ad with the stupid US actress reading her autocue
Info-mercials. Nothing more to add about those.

There is one advert where a woman says the telephone number to call - 13 13 13 but it gets right on the tits the way she says in a nostril closed air stewardess voice 'thir-tane thir-tane thir-tane'. I have to have a lie down afterwards.

- Godfreys (vacuums) - shouty bald man with bad comb-over
- That Tooheys advert where a bloke grows beer-holding humans from his own Morrissey style quiff

Re: Bad Aussie adverts
and OMG! why on the morning shows (Davy & Kim and Kerri-Anne) do they stop every 10mins or so and try and sell crap carpet hoovers, tummy trimmers etc....the presenters sound so false/insincere. Much better having the radio on!

Re: Bad Aussie adverts
YES! The absolute worse being BRAND POWER!
I've still to figure that shite out. Do Brand Power buy bulk tv advert slots on the cheap then sell the slot for a higher price plus they take over the promotion as well?
I assume these ads are aimed at the "dumb****" population.

Re: Bad Aussie adverts
Pretty much any car advert, but especially the ones for local dealerships. They have an advert for Australian Fleet Sales with these two shouting morons who look like shambling kiddie-fiddlers, ranting on about shit-heap cars from a car-lot that looks like a scrap-yard. :curse:
