This company must have an advertising budget of only $1000.

Why would you have someone like Langon selling a product on Victorian commerical TV? Hardly a celebrity of any sorts in this region.

Dead set this bloke is a shocker,mullett porno mo, tats the lot.

"dont buy trash, save you cash, and come and see SASH"

nuh that's not the worst - computer town on "windang road a-windang" is pretty bad! and the one with "tell em the price dad!" with the father and daughter advertising for his furniture business. And most of the chirstmas ads from the specialty shops down there... Really makes me wish we could still get ch7 in the middle of bloody sydney!

Instead of ch9 running the very corny KFC ad during the cricket coverage,there now running a woeful ad for Brighton Toyota .The guy in it is trying to impersonate Dr Evil from Austen Powers

i saw that ad yesterday and what a tosser that guy is.
by far the most dismal tryhard ad i have seen this year.

other corny ads.
the new hello hello one where that feral is running around naked, thats just grose.

that soccer ref one that everyone else has mentioned

that airconditioner one where the airconditioner apparently 'turns off the light' and in another one it 'makes them a coffee', spare me, how crap are those ads!

This guy is in my home town Bendigo.....Matthew Web of Lannen's Pharmacy....he is quite infamous now.
People got to his chemist just to see him....
He had a two page spread in the local paper last week and the week before as part of a profile thingy.
His catch line
"Get your prescriptions filled here!!!!!"
He is a crack up....he has a speech impediment or something.....he loves it!
He said he even signs autographs out at nightclubs......lol

He loves people recognising him out.
Seen the new one were he explains how to get there from Eaglehawk?
Now you know were to go to get your prescriptions filled here

Most pathetic would have to be the Commonwealth bank ads.

You think of all the money they have ripped off us in fees we deserved better with the ads they pay for with our money.

In terms of the corniest, definitely the KFC one with the grandfather telling his grandkids of the 'legendary' hat-trick he saw back in 'the old days'. What irks is the kids sitting there with this wide eyed-expression on their faces like he has suddenly flown in through the chimney and started showering them with $100 bills.

I'd much rather see a more realistic version with the kids saying something like: "Shutup Grandad, you old fool. I'm trying to watch the ****ing cricket and your yabbering isn't helping. Now give us a piece of that greasy chicken before it goes cold".

oh yeh rusty brookes, id forgotten about that bit of the ad, at the end where the kid is sitting there going 'whoaaaaaaa' like a right farkin twit, that is a pretty annoying and stupid ad!

oh yer and aussie home loans, gawd what a nob that guy is!

Some pretty funny stuff there, Rusty.

All bank ads are shyte. I also hate those air conditioner ads where the thing is so smart it can mow your lawns cook your dinner and wake you up in the middle of the night or whatever they do. It's a pity they don't cool the house down, though.

Chris and Marie - pathetic.

However, I'm generally a channel surfer when the ads come on, so don't always catch them all.

There is one ad I like though, that Foxtel ad with the father playing cricket with the kids, sets the field, bowls a thunderbolt from 10 yards and gives the little kid a send off when he knocks the stumps over...classic.

'I feel like chicken tonight' with no close second.

The young school bloke hopping on the bus in front of his mates flappin his wings. He must get the crap beat out of him in real life. If he doesn't he probably should.

Only thing that make it passable is it reminds me of the late show when they did the "I feel like ****head tonight" take off.
