Most Annoying TV Commercials

[thorson1987]

Any ad with Gyton Grantley

One of those dumb "compare" ads started a worrying trend recently.
When advertising their "we'll get you a better electricity rate", the guy clearly said "Alectricity", instead of Electricity. FIIK why.
Adding to the stupidity, MMM Sydney is running a radio competition called "Elevator from hell"
Which is fine, except in one promo they say . . . you guessed it . . . Alevator from hell.
If you are gonna change our language and invent your own words, why not call electricity " Brujanniputa" and be done with it ?

The English language is f**ked in the future thanks to the current generation of poor spellers and using the wrong words ('pacific' instead of 'specific') or words used incorrectly ("It was so hot yesterday I was literally on fire" Really? You were actually on fire because it was 35°? I see no bandages on you now!).
Also the increasing use of American spelling and words in place of our own.

While I've not heard the 'alevator' or 'alectricity' ads you're talking about (may just be an east coast thing), I'd be pretty annoyed if I noticed it too. Once you hear something like that, you hear it EVERY time, don't you?!

Channel 7 is big on these... "The drama that has ALL OF AUSTRALIA on edge", "AUSTRALIA is hooked on...", "The show AUSTRALIA can't get enough of..."

I'm not watching it. So get farked.

I hear ya, Nuke.
These forum pages would represent a reasonably broad cross-section of society.
The standard of spelling, punctuation and grammar here is generally sad, really. But probably typical of any other random group today.

Networks like 7 are good at sweeping statements. Usually most of the shit they go on about I don't watch either.

Clive Palmers ad.

Seven are used to doing this with the AFL. All of Australia = sections of the wasteland states.

He loves them so much he gets very emotional. *sniff*

 

[Disinterested third party]

That f**king annoying female brat on Suncorp ads.

 

[roofromoz]

Those lifestyle expiry date ads for Challenger are a wank.

If the worse thing in your retirement is that you're driving an older model Camry then you're doing all right.

 

[Whino]

The new Budget Direct ad is weird.

 

[veggiepatch1959]

That uBank ad with the annoying little brat talking to her ragdoll about home loans.

Someone please shove that ragdoll down her f**king throat.
