Forgot about that one (with good reason); those ones are terrible, with the lowlight being the lame attempt to satirise the coverage of cricket.

Can't believe all the people complaining about bad ads, hey that's what the remote is for, bad ad, switch channels, I only ever watch good ads, try it.

Just an aside, guess that is the same as people complaining about certain posters & rubbish threads, instead of ignoring, they look at them & then complain, the Christian movement does the same thing, oohhh we watched South Park & it was so irreverant, I was disgusted & traumatised for weeks, HELLO, why do you think they invented the remote, change channels

So your post is basically complaining about why people have to complain about things and not just ignore them?

Oh the irony

Although I suppose when other people do it it is classified as complaining yet when you do it it is classified as making a valid point?

I am compelled to turn off when they have sunraysia (the pressers, Cran Gran etc ) or TAC adds with the stupid tiger - Imagine leaving your car overnight in the MCG car park - where would it be the next day)


Or the other when Brocky or someone like him picks up a handful of dirt and says oil comes from the ground - don't put it in your engine. then says this brand oil (forget which) is SYNTHETIC and is better.

And whats synthetic made from ? Petroleum products which come from the ground you idiot!

The "I thought you were investing this year... YES! We Are!" ad

Ah, indeed!

The stupid one where the ref comes in with his yellow card, and threatens the mother with a red....

Absolutely Corny!

"What do you want for dinner?"
"Ice-cream!"
"Pizza!"
"OK."

Who has ice-cream for dinner?

Totally agree.

Ref: "Oh thats a yellow card"
Annoying Mum:"Excuse me?"

As for the "Hello, I thought you were investing this year? YES We are!" ad... who on earth photographs their friends during rickshaw races?

Any ad that features cricket would have to be a contender. The Commonwealth cricket ad is a contender, highlighted by Greg Chappell's attempt at acting.

Those KFC 'cricketer's box' ads aren't much better. I can never understand how people who film cricket in ads get the basics so wrong. In the KFC ad of a cricket match, all the fielders appeal 'Howzat' when the batsman has been bowled.

And the KFC ad with Grandpa, I wouldn't necessairly say it's corny.

It's just crap.

About the KFC Cricketer's Box, it's obvious that the marketing guru that congured up that product name didn't know anything about cricket, because when you think of a "Cricketer's Box" you have the image of a smelly, sweaty piece of plastic, protecting your ornamentals, not something that contains a three piece feed.

I actually went into that very same pharmacy (Crouch & Webb), and they're even creepier in real life.

Are the three pieces a drumstick & two nuggets ?

the other Commonwealth Bank featuring a soccer ref is even cornier.There's a married couple & one of their mothers arguing in the kitchen & the ref comes in yelling "time out !!!" .He then starts crapping on about interest rates.

LOL, yep I agree JUBJUB. That ad is a shocker. Mind you didn't the Commonwealth Bank have some corny ad last summer with talking seagulls promoting the cricket academy? They should look for a new advertising company.

The McDonald's and the Chriso one.

Its hard to know if the ad ch9 are running for Who Wants To Be A Millionaire is corny or just embarrassing.

AAAAAAGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH.

Couldn't agree more... PAINFUL, PAINFUL ad. We hit MUTE within 2 seconds of it coming on now.

The Nicorette (I think) ad with the cricketers is another shocker... virtually any anti-smoking ad actually. Ever notice how smokers are always unshaven bogans with croaky voices?

I'm sick to death of the Sorbent one with Lleyton and Disney Witch too.

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.

Bed e buys

grrrrrrrrrrrrrr. i hate that ad. at least the new dude isnt a right tosser like the other one. 'Pig of a location...oink'

Mr Bankrupt

By far the most annoying adverts in television history. A tool with the most annoying voice ever screaming at the top of his lungs. That just makes me wanna go and burn down every Mr Bankrupt store instead of go shop there.

Any ads which sings out the Phone Number.
Can't these dodgy Advertisment Companies think of something new?

I thought Karl Langdon flogging Vista Blinds was bad.He's been replaced by 'Mumbling' Doug Hawkins.
This company must have an advertising budget of only $1000.
