That ad looks so cheap. The production values on it must be less than $5.
It reminds me of the Chris and Maree ads. The audio quality is worse than AM radio ffs.

Indian call centre guy: Hello, i'm from Star Mobile. Do you have a mobile phone?
Julia Morris: Yes, this is TV star Julia Morris.
Indian call centre guy: Um, i'm calling about mobiles.
Julia Morris: Talk about mobile, if you have a 45g serving of 'x cereal' each day you'll be mobile in no time.
Indian call centre guy: ...Ok. Bye.
Julia Morris: Take the 'x cereal' two week challenge. I'm on day eight.

Not only is it unfunny, lame and nonsensical, but it mentions those stupid 'two week challenge' gimmicks that are taking over these days.
No doubt some ad agency clown thought it up as a cynical way to move more product and now everyone is doing it.
But does it get the telemarketers off the phone?

Re: Ads that piss you off

THAT ****ING WARNIE hair loss add with the two absolute loser wankers asking him questions . What dildo's.!

This add just seriously makes me want to punch anything insight. Even my missus is in danger if she is around when this piece of shit comes on.

Cant BELIEVE IT HASNT BEEN MENTIONE YET! At least not in th 4 most recent pages I read.

How could anyone make an add so bad. It is by far and away more annoying than ANY add mentioned in this thread.

Re: Ads that piss you off

The ads for swiss multivites with Ricky Ponting in it.

Kid: "Ricky do you think you can hit the roof"?

Ponting: "Maybe"

Kid: "Let it rip gyro"

Kids: "It diden't hit the roof, it went through the roof"

Ricky: "New swiss multivites for men and women"

****, I think I know that ad off by heart!

Re: Ads that piss you off

Are those tin shed ads with those two ********s poncing about thinking they are legends (father and son they are meant to be) shown all over Australia or are they only inflicted on us up here in Queensland? I don't recall seeing them the year I was in Sydney.

I want to shoot this little bastard in the face with a ****ing shotgun.

Agree 100% - and what is worse is they keep playing it over and over again. There is no way I would buy that stuff!

I dont want Julia Morris to die, just for the skank to be deported. IMO if she has children she should be stripped of custody of them until she lives life in a appropiate manner. Shes probably the most disgraceful human being in Australia atm. Arsonsits included.

Red Rooster.

'They just don't get it in America'

Well, why the **** would they? I'm sure if you went to Poland and started asking the locals questions about an Aussie takeaway shop they wouldn't know what you're on about either.

I'm all for bashing the yanks, but why waste time making ads to try and win an argument that didn't exist in the first place?
