I think that your requests are very reasonable Sue.

Hey, I could be a Superwife instead of a Madwife. I see the TV series now. My USP (unique selling point) could be to wear my bra over my T-shirt. I can have a book deal, TV series, a whole range of VBS products.

Must go & ring my agent.............

The best kiwi commercial, IMO. I think the title should read Korea, not WWII (if my M*A*S*H memories serve me correctly). The Toyota commercial's of the same era were also clever & funny.

Is it a bird, is it a plane, no it's SUPERWIFE!!!!
I can see it now. You ride in on your broomstick, the Ride of the Valkyries playing at full volume, your bra over your fleece [down here on the SI, it's bloody cold!] and cause consternation amongst all the menfolk in the street until you knock down my doorway with a flourish and announce that you're here to save the household from male TV tyranny. Mr S would turn into a lump of jelly and meekly hand over the remote with promises NEVER to touch it ever again without written permission gained a week in advance. He would grovel on the floor before offering to do some baking and also make you a nice cup of tea while you teach him how to treat his beloved in the way she deserves to be treated
This weekend would be good, what are your daily rates

Anyone else want to slap that irritating, wee, bald guy from the GJ Gardener ads. What's the point of him??????????

We've had an aerial for the past few months and I'll be glad when we move and are aerial-less again as I really can't say NZ TV has enriched my life.

Of all the shiteness on TV here the ad that makes me start gnashing and punching things is actually the one for energy smart with that awful, dreadful guy.

I hate NZ in winter. Wake me up in the spring.

Could someone explain to me why they show ad's for shows that have already been on? Weekend at Bernies springs to mind now. Also they show ad's for the show that you are currently watching! Last before least if the rugby world cup doesn't come round soon that noisy bastard sergeant major is likely to get kicked out of my tv.

I rarely watch live TV anymore...nothing better than My Sky to record and watch whenever I want, and skip the ads

Unfortunately it's not something uniquely Kiwi, ads can be annoying no matter what country you're in

Well it seems to me some of the programs are on a permanent loop, things like Castle / Bones / Criminal Minds seem to blend into one another and appear to be on every day, a bit like muzak you just pick it up somewhere you left off the last time.

I was quite enjoying the Friday night's Pineapple Dance Studios 'mockumentary', after the start time was shifted about four times. Finally the last few settled into the late night dead zone (after 11pm) when all the best programs are on. Anyway, I thought I had watched the final show and then was surprised to see it back on the following Friday. They've started again at the beginning.

WHAT MYSKY HDI cost15.00 bucks per month to rent cheper than a dvd recorder

Persephone

It may be that we're thinking about different things though I'm not quite sure what you mean by the above....
We have Sky already anyway, MySky is $15 per month extra. Over a year that is an extra $180. You can buy a DVD recorder for under $150 now and most people have one anyway, a one-off payment.
That is what I meant by cheaper!

I cant believe that no one has picked up on the “Wendy’s” advert!!! Or should I say “WENDY’SCHHHSH” Where the fek’ did they find this guy?
I don’t know whether to laugh or cry when I see the poor twat trying to get his mouth around “Wendy’s” or “Relish” ….. if you look closely you can even see the spittle on his chin. I tell ya what, I wouldn’t want a fekin’ burger after he’d done cooking it. It wouldn’t need “relischhhsh” on it!
Come on… please tell me where’s the hook?.... what cunning plan they had when they did this ad?..... beats the sh*t out of me!

try bying a dvd recorder for $150 more like $650 and my sky is hd

Agggghh, that old coot! It's not exactly his fault, so I left him alone as I have ripped into him in the past on a previous thread. I don't get it at all, the market audience and the advertising 'vehicle' are on totally opposing planets. I'm obviously no spring chicken myself, which leaves me far away from the typical burger consumer. For heavens sake if people like me find him to be such an 'old fart', just how far removed from cool can we possibly go?

Like that VW Ute advert? "The thinking mans ute", they are bought by farmers not bloody rocket scientists.

This though, much better:

We can all relate to that still half asleep, unkept look and finding no milk in the fridge . People like us drive VW cars.

I can only assume Patrick Bateman from American Psycho would own this:

Chilling .

Back to our nice friends at VW:
