I can honestly say every fking advert on Australian TV is utter shyte. The only one few I can think of that were decent were pulled off the air because of complaints.

Take this one for example;

Little kid goes for a jolly in his dads Hyundai, picks up his judy along the way and they go to the beach! Cute and memorable, but no, seems that it encourages kids to drive!!! Seriously the Australian general public are either severely retarded or need a good kicking, I vote for both!

Ad here:

The next ad is for Australian Top Gear magazine, clever and funny.

Complaints again!!

"I fell and badly injured my knee... At first I was worried it would be expensive to claim"

No love, at first you worry about how badly you've fked up your knee, if you'll walk properly again and then worry about how long its taking the ambulance to get to you. Stupid, fat, bottom feeding bint.

Carbon Bloody Trust..
Indeed. Good point too.. Taxpayers are forking out for all the governments feel good propoganda - Carbon Trust/reduce your Carbon footprint/Learn Direct/improve your skills (you fking Moron - can't count or read? WTF happend to the years you spent at school?)

At least the rest of the advertisers are wasting their own money on trying to appeal to adults with a mental age of around 9 and are not throwing millions of pounds of Taxpayers cash down the drain.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOh BODYFORM. As a teenager i got this fking jingle stuck in my head and went around singing it - this makes you look like a tt
So you know exactly what the product is and what it is called


So this is a bad advert because??????


Surely a bad one is one you can't remember
Well - due to me coming equiped with testicles i'm never really going to be in the market for jam-rags. Unless their strategy was a viral marketing campaign whereby they get young men to walk round singing WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOh BODYFORM thereby drawing attention to their product at bus stops, in cake shops down the pub etc. In which case it is genius and i retract my original statement. However, i think that it is so unbelievably bad that it forever renders itself within your frontal lobe

I guess it's for some loan shark or another, but the one where some utter gets a loan to buy a ride on mower to look after his 6" square 'lawn' outside his shortly to be repossessed barrat stbox.

I don't think much of that one.

Red driving instructor ads.

Stuck in your dead end job, pay an extortionate amount for a worthless piece of paper from the IT squad and earn upto 40k pa ads

Stupid window advert with the that screams 'you buy one, you get one free'

Confused.com adverts with the people in the back of the cab, they look like guido's!

That advert that uses the pi$$ boiling phrase 'How can you reduce your CARBON TYRE PRINT'!! I will never, ever buy a Pug on the strength of that pandering to the gobby green minority ad.

Any nappy adverts + baby lotion creams where they feel it necessary to display a babys arse on screen. Sneaking back to reality for a second you know full well that filming was done in the microsecond existing between the parent vomiting after cleaning up the last round of st sacks, and the complimentary refill soon to be provided by the giggling child.

Feckin BT ad!

First the bint moves into HIS house with her feckin messy miserable kids.
Then they get joint accounts.
Then she gets him to buy a massive house.
Then she gets lippy because he's working away, paying for it all.

Now, you feckwit, can't you see what's going to happen?
(BTW I DID warn you when she asked for joint accounts)

Let me explain.

You are going to feckin lose everything!
She is going to have a lovely big house that you paid for.
You will end up in a stty bedsit, relying on internet porn.


Which is where the next BT ad will come in....

"BT wireless Broadband....you can wank anywhere!"



Feckwits!

The original one conjures up an image of a psycho repeating the phrase over and over. He is sat knees up, with his arms wrapped around his legs and is rocking backwards and forwards. In one hand he is clasping a detonator and is surrounded by explosives.

Ocean Finance ad with the rough looking bloke on the desert island near death, saved by the ocean finance yacht, then its a shave, a cocktail and lying back enjoying the good life whilst sailing into the sun.

Just gets my goat

That advert winds me up so much - doubly so since I had to fork out for a new tv after hurling the remote at the screen when it came on for the third time in one evening!

Fragile things, LCD screens...

What is this Moonpig advert you keep referring to?

I watch very little telly, limited to the History Channel, and BBC2 (just to stay up to date on left-wing stuff) so I've got no idea what you're talking about.

Youtube is blocked at work, so just a brief synopsis is enough.

Well basically Moonpig makes cards, and during these adverts all the way through they sing MOONPIG!
MOOOOONPIGGGG
MOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNPIG
MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONPIGGGGGGGGGGG
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNPIIIIIIG!

And so on.

Who remembers the 70's advert for a furniture store (I think) with a superman type chap with a huge bulge in his trunks running towards the camera, "As you walk through the door your pounds worth more"

Can't remember the name of the shop but remember the ad laugh

The faux documentary ads for Benecol with Gloria Hunniford following the usual collection of stereotypes in their quest to lower their cholesterol.

Nationwide ads with that fat c*nt bank manager.

Halifax ads with Howard or that smug tt Thomas from Leeds
