Funny Or Stupid

Some TV ads at the moment have me doubled over with laughter and others just plain shit me!

The ones that shit me.....

The anti drug ads! The one on a few minutes ago was the "Speed, think what might happen" I'm not attacking the govt in what it's trying to do, but the delivery is so poor. How about Speed, think about what MIGHT happen versus alchohol and cigarettes and what WILL happen. How about Going for a drive on our roads, think about what might happen.....Playing sport, think about what might happen.

People take risks every day, so asking them not to take a risk, while all the time selling taxable grog and ciggies that we know for sure are doing you damage, it's not just hypocritical, but allmost childlike in mentality.

I hope two things happen. In this day and age where you take legal action against the council for you tripping on a crack in the footpath, someone to seek damages from the government when they contract lung cancer from smoking, or their wife leaving them for being an abusive drunk. The govt not only allows the sale of these products, but profits from them. Why only take the manufacturers to court, the government gave them the go ahead to sell the stuff, so the govt need to be held accountable too.

Secondly, I hope the parents of a child that dies from taking a drug they thought was ecstacy (and was actually PMA or similar), take legal action against the government too. MDMA and similar party drugs should be legalised and controlled by the government. There are more proven negative side effects for alchohol and ciggies than there are for MDMA, so why force this drug to the black market where it becomes far more dangerous. How about some consistency!

Old fuddy duddies with no concept of what's up...grrrr

shit, got all wound up and forgot about the funny ones!

THe insurance ad where the little kid is closing the roller door on the car....the look on his face is so f#%*ing evil

i think that shout politics VB one in pretty funny !!

I agree with you Davin but we all know its never gonna be legalised. The government should however let those doctors/scientists that are asking for permission to test pills at raves do so. It doesnt hurt anyone and its not as if they are asking to be paid, they just want to keep researching and therefore reducing risks of overdoses.

I sat down with the doctor (the bloke with the glasses) at Summer Enchanted after completing one of his surveys and he was an awesome guy. All he wants to do is find out what pill we're taking before we take it and to let us know what we are taking.

It's ridiculous that he's not allowed to be at every rave.

I used to think that legalisation would never happen either, until I watched the grieving parents of person who died after taking dodgy PMA pills. I was wondering why they don't seek compensation. Their child would not be dead if they got what they thought they were buying, and the only reason they bought PMA is because the government forced the supply of MDMA onto the black market. Legalising and controlling the supply would help eliminate most of the few deaths that occur each year.

The government have no valid reasons why MDMA is illegal, well none that don't also apply to alchohol and ciggies. Either legalise or ban them all.

AMEN!!

I disagree, the human body is not made to consume chemicals. If I choose to have some battery acid and I die, why should my family sue Duracell? I chose to consume something I know is not meant to go into my body, why should somebody else be held accountable for my stupid decision?

As for ciggarettes, the Government puts a large amount of focus on the miniscule road toll, yet thousands of people a year in Australia die from cancer from ciggarettes. As a non-smoker, I find this highly disturbing as I suffer from second hand smoke and am put at risk for cancer, who's going to be held accountable for the people that decide to smoke, yet I suffer the damage to my health. Should I sue smokers? venues? manufacturers? Government? This is a decision I do not make yet I suffer the possible fatal outcomes? How is this fair? just?

I can't wait for the non smoking laws to be in full force, until then, I may start sueing the people around me

All the sultana bran ads drive me up the wall!!!!


so does the new noodles 1 (forget which brand...maybe maggi? sp?)
"hey mum, where do we keep the boiling water?" stupid kid!



not a fan of the drug ones either....ppl are gona go do it anyway but there is a difference between education and blatant degredation. yes shit happens sometimes but its usually cause the ppl taking it have no idea about effect/amounts etc. ...on the other hand there is some REALLY dodgy crap out there and its a persons choice as to whether they take that risk or not (except in spiking circumstances)

That advert is so god dam funny.

Not so funny when i have done that exact thing to a mates statesman, fortunately when electric roller doors sense resistence they tend to go back up.

Still, said mate was not very happy.

I like the advert for some beer, when the guy jumps onto his missus's blow up arm chair and she goes flying into the pool, i would love to do that to my missus.

OK the best ad i've seen in a long time is the V add at 1st you think what the f@ck are these cocroches doing, then you see them floating above the hand dryer LMAO every time

As for what Dav is saying i belive he is right in most ways but we do choose to put those chemicals in our body and we know the risk's.
As for legalising it i'd be for it ,as it will reduce the shit and maybe prevent other deathes from PMA and other harsh shit that can be placed in those little bicci's.

back to the adds

my fav add is the one were the lil boy is riding his bike along side his dad that is leaf blowing along the footpath and then the dad swings the leaf blower towards the kid and it blows him away.....lol...i love it
another one i love is the wild turkey one...every one has to have seen that.
i hate the ones about smoking,drinking,drugs and car crashes they all get on my nerves cos really they should be shown in stupid ppl's houses that dont know what they doing.
cottercap

i got to say that the new anti drug adds are reeeellllly crappy. Especially the one where the guy is at the dentist & they say to him

"Gee all that grinding your teeth has cracked them" as he has taken too many eckies.

It just seems really lame. Its like a poor attempt at some 1950's fear. Never mind about informed adults making informed choices.

I was just thinking the other day how many funny ads are on at the moment, but I ca'nt think of any more...I'll keep watching in the hope they get aired again

The Ford ute with "more pulling power" makes me laugh...at it, not with it! Sounds like a 12yo boy playing with his joystick......oh dear LOL

I agree

car ads are usually full of testosterone BS especially if things like utes or v8's are involved or both

every man needs a canoe love those beer ads...

and the billboards... MADE FROM BEER... nice...

yes, the canoe/beer add was damn funny...so matter of fact

Oh my god yeah. The Canoe ad is just priceless.

One ad I've seen recently is a panty liner ad.

She's got the damn thing stuck to her stomach under her top to smuggle something in somewhere... WTF?????

She was supposed to be going in under cover and hiding a microphone....ugh!

what about that add where the killer whale comes through the ice and eats the ice fisherman! lol that scared the crap out of me! hehe

which one? whales.. fisherman... haven't seen it.. who's it for??

i like the kid and the roller door!

I agree. If you're interested in being involved with unbiased research and helping to prove to the government that not every person who indulges is an idiot, ill-informed or has a death-wish, go to the link below and sign-up. I got a call to participate within 24 hours of filling in the on-line form.

DASC Sign-up

P.S. They pay you $30 if you're eligible & have time for a 1 hour face-to-face interview

it was a bread add dont know for who! but they stole the clip from an american add. cause i got the clip of the whale eatting the fisherman on my computer. dont know how its relevant to selling bread lol!

just saw an ad on tv..... got Neil Criag saying to Mark Williams McLoed for Tredrea.... then Williams is like ... Ill give ya Cornes for Ruccitoo ... "you drive a hard bargin but its a deal"

then it cuts to them trading those footy cards lol.

i thought it was good.

i so cop a hammering over that from my workmates because my kayak is always on my roof racks for the pre-requisit after midnight shift paddle.

fwiw its a kayak, not a fucking canoe!!!

obviously I use a canoe for different purposes....I would just paddle, not er....F@$# it LOL

I would have to say my favourite ad is the ford ad where the guys are standing round having a b.b.q talking in high pitched voices and the guy rocks up in the ford and when he gets out and talks his voice is really deep and they all sigh in high pitched awww!!!! Cracks me up evrytime!

And definately love the mutual community ad with the kids! Especially the kid about the crocodile!

Oh and the comment on I think it's a coopers ad about having to poor into a 'Side ways glass' I love that comment!

I just saw this ad for Heinz Real Soup...

Its a group of work collegues gathered around in the office singing for he's a jolly goodfellow, but this one chick is singing
For he's a dirty big cockroach
for he's a dirty big cockroach
yes he's a dirty big sleeze bag.... and he has fake hair!

Gold!

There is a team leader at my work place I'd love to sing that to...

hahahaha same same.. especially the one with the Yiros, hits home.. oh the memories hahaha I hate VB tho.. how can you call it beer?

I reckon that lamb ad is pretty weird/funny.. he has a friend..

VB is a great beer!! just like cask wine and cheap scotch yummm (only when the funds run low and you cant afford the nice stuff) hahahahaha Nah on a serious note theres nothing wrong with VB. Besides having a huge head ache in the morning

Oh - and the Lipton Iced Tea ads, Refreshingly Honest! The guy who pulls into the mechanic & needs a radiator hose & they mechanic says he going to rip him off - "that's ok, I'll write you a cheque that bounces!" And the guy that comes over to the two chicks on the beach 'cos he thought they looked hot from a distance, just checking them out from closer up, but they're not! etc etc Funny.... If only everyone could be so honest without getting offended.....

The Lipton Ice tea ads are all good value The mechanic one is my fave, but the parents grilling the daughter's boyfriend is great one too. I've been looking forward to interrogating you. So, apart from ruining our daughter's life, what do you do

hehe

Those ads are sick , gota luv them

I agree.. they good.. with the car, the mechanic said he will rip him off and the guy would write a cheque that bounced.. gold..

One of the funny ones I was trying to think of is the ANZ call centre advert with the robots.....Your call is important to us LOL

Anyone who has used a phone must appreciate this ad

And the one (I think it's for SGIC??) with the poor old nanna hanging on the line for AGES...when they finally answer her call, she says "oh.....I'm sorry dear. I forgot what I called for!" and hangs up. Kinda sad too, but so very true!!

I hate call centres......

me too.. thats why I'm stuck working in one

stoopid tv??? how about celebrity circus??

i love that advert... just watch episode 5 of the new 2005 Doctor Who with a Darlek in it.. so true!

Here's an advert I downloaded many years ago....it does involve nudity, but is damn funny. I've uploaded it to my website, and I'll leave it there for a while......

http://www.niceonebruva.org/Public/Other/C...areReactor.mpeg

hehehe...pure GOLD!

nice one Davin

would have love to scene that advert on the TVs... that's give the little religious people something to talk about

the commercial with the monkey laying on the road so they can steal the luggace from the 4wd, thats funny

has anyone else seen that add about the new wet ones toilet wipes. That whole concept just freaks me out!

hahaha yeah, seen that add.. weird tho..

That stupid Cantog add bugs me, like NONE of it is in english, I don't mind it beinbg in another language, but they could atleast give us english sub titles

And that car comercial is pretty cool, where it's all set up with the little ball, speakers, window wipers etc and at the end of it, it moves the car.

I love that ad, monkeys are so cool

wrong thread Paul

TRUNK MONKEY ADS!
they are soo kewl, makes me want to have a trunk monkey! the ads ain't in aust, but you can download all of them from the webby -> http://www.trunkmonkeyad.com/

Yeah i hat that cantong add also, especially as it is using an australian comedian in it. The car add is for the honda accord.

HAS anyone seen that adelaide Your are here add. If you look reeeelllly carefull there is about .5 of a seconds worth of Gianna from big brother in it

Shit, I thought it was "Adelaide - you are queer"

I guess we're not having an Adelaide Gay and Lesbian MardiBra then?

LOL you are queer i love it

Michaela and I have been staying would be ok if the advert showed picture Paris, London, Tokyo... then I'd feel good about it!

yup, the honda accord commercial. that's all live, there is only 1 or 2 CG parts to it, other than that, they actually set it all up and made it work! now thats dedication!

I wannna trunk monkey

trunk monkey rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I want a trunk monkey too...

The SGIC ad where the repairman comes to fix a roof that's been blown off in a storm - said storm then blow's the house owner's rug off his head & the repairman offers him his. Funny!

Just as well, seeing as SGIC totally got me offside with that stupid ad where the customer service lady answers an insurance phonecall at her wedding AT THE ALTAR!!! That's just wrong

The Sensis.com.au advert where they suggest that an australian search engine will talk the same language as you....

they pull into a bottleshop drivethrough expecting a slab, and get a few massive slabs of conrete dumped in the back of their car. So is there a raver search engine so when you ask for a slab you get 6 boxes of cake making NOS

This is hillarious.
I just hope i can attach an animated gif.

dedicated to all the "genuine Evo Lancers" out there LOL

hahaha thats good..

yeah, well hahaha I still find it funny and I own a Lancer

Just as long as you don't try and tell the world it's a turbo 4wd evo lancer, we'll all be right. Just a few too many ppl trying to pass a bog stocker with a body kit off as a rally weapon LOL. I guess there's not much difference...only about 2.5 times as much power and about that much more grip too hehe

I have already spoken to Provident Crash Repair who do all the kit fitting for Phillcom Rally. I asked them how to do it and they said they just use teck screws and silastic WTF. So according to what they do... I beleive we could be proffesionals in a matter of seconds?

My main problem is my car is very low. So getting a drill under there is impossible without use of a hoist, or very decent jack.

Or, the alternatibe is to position the car over a spoon drain and go from there

yeah, well.. the diff is, my car has the brakes off a GSR lancer so it can pull up better than most bog stock kitted lancers

Phillcom Rally, never thought that name would get into this forum

You know of them?

ive got a lancer, but now where close to evo, but it dose have a few tricks up it sleaves, for a pussy 1.5,


hang on i think that was off the topic

what where we all talking bout ???

How retarded you are

jk

bah, stupid idea hehe. THe sooner the better me thinks

I could keep a GTi owner chasing themselves for weeks defending all those tiny 1.3L donks. I've been practicing on my mates for 10 years. It's like a man with a small tool, they will stand there and say it's not the size that counts, but the way you use it. They are most likely right, but damn it's fun stringing them along

I'll bet u anything that any of the "it's not the size that counts" crew would trade up to a monster tool tomorrow if they could

Thats why we have you here dav
