I am seriously going to have to punch the TV screen next time I see one of those bloody ads. Stuck up bitch in the lift telling her stalker and just ****ed d-bag telling her roommate it's not a car...it's an Alfa Romeo. FFS it's an economy piece of shite!

This just may be my wake up call to ditch commercial television and just start downloading programs from t'internet.

I agree. An Alfa once had the temerity to run into the back of my cavalier's towbar. The Alfa was totalled- exploded all over the road like the plastic cr*p it was. My towbar wasn't marked!

Most car ads are irritating- the ones for the Suzukis driven by the ugly twins from The Block annoy me too. However it is the car insurance ones that make me want to throw a brick through the screen!

I had a car run into the back of my car, tow bar fitted, my car, not a scratch, theirs.. well there was steam coming from the radiator, and the bumper was a 'bit bent'. Always had a tow bar fitted asfter that, even though I was unlikelt to use it for its correct use, but as a damage saver they are great..

All car ads are shite ... You bought a Jeep? You stupid cow, I want a divorce you air-headed gullible bint!

You bought a new one? You stupid bitch, so we are going to wear the depreciation?

I'm going to shag the secretary, at least she doesn't piss money up the wall AND she drives an ancient Nissan Pulsar.

That ad will never get made, obviously ...

Nothing could be more annoying that the Instyler hair curling / straightening ads.

Dumb slack jawed bogan slag with no intelligence shining out of those eyes like some sort of domestic cattle: "I swear that since I bought my Instaaaaler Ive thrown away my flat aaarn, my curling aaarn, .."

Then that shrieking woman's cockney voice straight out of a 1950s Carry on film... The Yank agency probably thinks that's Australian accent.

TV.. Brick....

I hate new cars, especially econo boxes completely lacking in on road whatsits.
I do quite like Alfa exhaust notes....

Is that the awful one who does the Roomba ad, every bloody morning on Channel 7 it may not be as I think she comes from up north, but yeah, they all are enough to make you want to smash your tv in

Do as I do and don't watch commercial TV

I don't do TV ads

That's why we discontinued Foxtel when we moved here. $100 a month for 40 channels of nothing worth watching and ads every ten seconds. Pfutttt.

Just refer to the Outlander ad

I JUST DONT CARE

Just think of the fun that can be had for comical recreations

You got the clap, Hey everyone XXX got the clap.

Hey are you Size impaired? Don't worry you can compensate in a BEMA

For all those zippy little Suzuki ads - now look when occupied with 5 normal sized blokes, driving up hill, with boot full of golf clubs etc

Amazulu

Also dumped Foxtel - I do miss the rugby and cricket from SA though

We watch ABC, BBC iplayer (plus other streaming services) and downloads

Maybe half an hour of 7,9,10 a week now and again

Australian commercial TV is dire - easily the worst in the western world. The contempt that these stations show for their customers is breathtaking

We did this within days of moving to Australia. You won't regret it.

Look at the shiny shiny!

I used to laugh at the old car ads in the 1980, especially Datsun Bluebird where they had tiny models (I'd guess four foot eleven max in their stockinged feet) to make the cars look really spacious inside.

Completely off topic but look at ads for eyewear stores (Specsavers etc). All the models have lower faces built like horses to negate the "four-eyes weakling" effect and they all have absolutely identical noses.

Husband drives a 12 year old Nissan Pulsar and loves it It would run on an oily rag as my brother says, so cheap.
