BT Advertorials

[Gasometer]

Is this the greatest waste of advertising $$$ ever?

And if I hear that "If you walk past a dog and it bites you..." line one more time!

Gaso

 

[rfctigerarmy]

OMG!!!

You tune out like 1 second into the ad... very poor advertising.

Annoys the hell out of everyone too!

 

[catattack]

They don't even make sense. They're so boring.

 

[McAlmanac]

BT have been a very poorly performed concern. The ads are like a mea culpa; trying to convince everyone that it was the market that was bad, not just them.

Truly the most annoying ad currently on television.

 

[brampta]

mm yes and the word is that they're a bit dodgy (just like their ads funnily enough). Can you really trust anything with an american accent anyway?

 

[coxon]

those bloody ads absolutely sh*t me to tears

 

[lenny&carl]

These ads are such a giant pile of w.ank, just like BT's fund performance. I mean, they even have fake American accents, like the fake dago accents on the spaghetti ads. For the life of me, i canna see what impression they're even trying to create.

They're incompetant shills who have no insight, who merely buy the indexes for you then charge 3% for the privelege. I would much sooner invest with Bryan Taylor.

I used to work for BT...coincidentally, my superannuation started to disappear during that time.

 

[BT]

I'll not have my name dragged through the mud any longer!

 

[evertonfc]

I actually thought it was a like an ad for Skithouse or something like that.

Makes me think about investing, but probably with that semi-MILF who does the Colonial First State Investment commercials.

Or possibly with that Macquarie mob

 

[Bomber Spirit]

When that ad comes on, I am grateful for the invention of the remote control.

HAHAHA

i cant stand those BT ads. i've tried to tune in and concentrate on what the ad is trying to tell me, but the crap about walking past a yard and a dog biting you in reference to the bear market!! who could go on any longer??

perhaps the dog is still there, and morons will continue to get bitten



i'm glad others hate the ads... the worst on tv.. worse than the crappy coles ads and harvey norman ads.

 

[Beffery]

Umm.. what ads are these? Living in the coutnry, I only get sheep dip and ute ads.

I still have no idea what the deal is with "Not happy Jan", people kept quoting it and I felt very out of it!

 

[Weaver]

Not only are they stupid ads, but even if you can bring yourself to pay attention to them they stuff the say is nonsense.

The one with the stuff with the dog is the most ill-advised piece of financial advice EVER. If you lose your money once, and then you lose it again, just keep doing the same thing over and over and MAYBE it will work out this time. Hardly the voice of authority.

 

[Kitty]

those ads will drive people to pull money out of investments and back under the mattress.

Next time someone says 'not happy Jan' to you, just start singing "Rimula X, the oil that protects" back to them. Quit Pro Qro or whatever its called

(I've been in the city 15 years now but don't watch a lot of telly)

yeah, same...could give you a crash course in Ivomec Eprinex vs Cydectin and the new Holden ute vs the new Ford utes... What are these BT ads you all speak of?

But come on, you don't know 'Not happy Jan' ?

No, not really! Other than it was quoted aaaaall the time and I felt like I had lived under a rock!

Though I do know "get your prescriptions filled HERE " (only those in the Goulburn Valley are lucky enough to see the big toothed pharmacist! )

 

[Mobbs]

But you don't know "Rimula X, the Oil That Protects"?

And are you ever tempted to whistle the "Good/Bad/Ugly" tune when donning the backpack and gun and heading out to the sheep?

Maybe these were too old. I ended up with 115 Ruyg water tanks before realising that I didn't have to buy one just because an ad told me to.

LOL I remember the good/bad/ugly song! Yeah, you just can't help but get those sheep dip/insectaside tunes in your head. At the moment it's the Barooga Sports Club:

"Live it, love it. Barooga - SPORTIES!!" lol

ahhh man, I need to get out of this town!

 

[GOALden Hawk]

It took me a week to work out those BT ads weren't satire and where actually a serious promotion of the company.

What they say doesn't even convince you that BT are a good fund to invest with anyway.
