crappy ADs on our TV

I hate all those American ads on TV where they have dubbed Australian voices over the top.

...and I seem to be the only one that notices it.

Whenever I mention this to other people they say they haven't noticed.

The most blatantly obvious problem with this is the fact that you cant just paste any old voice over any person.

The voices in these ADs quite obviously dont match the people.

Secondly, I just think its stupid that they ad Australian voices because they are well aware that the products are NOT Australian and they do it to try and make it look australian.

Some examples of these are:

Sunsilk ADs (you know, the "She's not here today" ad)
Vileda Super Mop (Not on TV anymore)

Cant think of anymore right now...

Am I alone here?

im much more concerned with the ridiculously shit standard of Oz tv \"dramas\". things like blue heelers & all saints make crap like the CSIs seem good.

wtf you watching ads for anyway? ads are the bit that tell you theres something worth watching on the other channel for 3 mins.

Almost is bad is when they get Australian hosts to introduce and narrate over an American or British show to make it seem Australian. They did this with the eating show on Sunday night.

Another thing, on that World Records show when they 'cross to our American counterparts" and then just insert an old pre-recorded segment.

true

I just wanted to know if you guys notice it or not. it seems to be a lot of older people (mid 20's upwards) that dont notice... but then again they are the only people that I have asked

Those ads where Darren Hinch takes a disturbingly keen interest in the bowel movements of random strangers. I mean, seriously, who the fuck thought that was ever going to be a good idea?

next mythbusters expirment: strap 100 pounds ofp 100 pounds of explosives to a singing frog , i tend to watch ABC or SBS to avoid ADs....which reminds me i might be on funniest home videos

Posted by greedy myles on Aug-07-2005 02:00:

AUS TV = SHIT.

The only reason jamster even fvckn exists? The ads are more worth watching than the actual programming.
And that fvckn frog (and especially everyone who downloaded it or bought it) and the fact it has been classed as music? (I.E it's "#1") BURN IN HELL.

gotta agree with this one.. Since when did teeth have their own light source???!!

My most hated of ads has gotta be that stoopid vileda one (already mentioned), but also that "Brush Up's" ad (rip, slip, brush uuuuup... fuckkkk!!). It was only on for a few weeks, but thank fuck for that..

I gotta agree, that was quite possibly one of the worst ads I've seen in a while.

But the one at the moment thats got my goat is that Mcain Lasagne one, with about 1000 old Italian mums singing about it, it really pisses me off. Had it stuck in my head for about 45 mins today (until I used my MD on the train) and it seriously gave me a headache, it was painfully bad.
