Hey, Ian, I was just looking at World Cup results, and how the hell did France 1. only make the NINTH PLACE playoff, and 2. LOSE IT?

Wow.
 
The Alltel Wireless one of "You're still a ding-dong!" never fails to crack me up. If I had YouTube, I'd go find it.
:wink:

YouTube - New Alltel - Your Still A Ding Dong

Alltel is my Glade I guess. I just want to punch all of them in the face anytime one of their ridiculous commercials comes on.
I don't particularly love the series of commercials, but the way he yells "YOU'RE STILL A DING DONG!" gets me.



Oh and you guys, I'm about to link to ALL SEVEN "Don't Judge Too Quickly" ads from Ameritrade. Hold tight.
 
More rugby that I can't see. :happy:

Wonder if the rugby league World Cup final will be live in Melbourne? NEITHER of the semi-finals were, not even the one Australia was in!

If you'll give me USD$100, I'll buy the series, burn them onto DVDs, then mail then to you. You'll get them only 2 weeks after they actually end! :happy:
 
I knew either you or Liam would say that. I just wasn't 100% sure which one of you.

And I wasn't aware a bagpipes one even existed.

It's the bagpipes one which made me hate them. They go to a neighbour's house so the boy can use the internet, and the kind neighbour who lets this idiot father and his moronic son use his computer then leaves the room to go practice the bagpipes - badly. And then the father and son bitch about it. It just irritates me. I hate every ad Telstra put out though. And then I hate how popular it is. All ads with gimicks and lines shit me. I like originality. You know what the best ad is? The Cadbury one with the gorilla. Fucking awesome. It doesn't matter what you think of Phil Collins. That ad is fucking superb. And beer ads. how fucking good are they? But phones? Fucking no. This country has no idea!
:D

Hi, Anna!

AT&T: He's still a ding-dong.
Sprint/Nextel: *knocks* You're still a ding-dong!

Ooh, yeah, I think I remember the bagpipes one now that you mention it. Not well, though. Can't have made an impression on me either way.

I'm convinced the "too many rabbits" ad is pretty much the only good thing Tel$tra has ever done.

You know what ads I love? Those godawful spruiker ads that scream at you. They're so BAD that all I can do is laugh at them and how ridiculous they are. Especially when it's some guy screaming about a women's underwear clearance. "LADIES! LADIES! MASSIVE BARGAINS THIS WEEKEND ONLY! SUPER LINGERIE CLEAR-OUT AT THE BOGAN SUPERCENTRE! BRAS! BRAS! BRAS! FAMOUS LABELS MASSIVELY DISCOUNTED! 50%! 70%! EVEN 90%! THIS WEEKEND!" And on and on it goes until every listener is deaf and can't tell if they're advertising a sale or some really low-budget softcore porn made at Crazy Clark's.
 
Anna turned Axver into a smurf in her sig.

That is the best thing ever.
 
I can't even remember how this started, but it involved Ax hanging upside down by his feet being prodded by a pool cue.

:hmm:

You can make him fart if you dangle him upside down and tap on his stomach with a ball-point pen.
 
Hey Bonnie! :wave:

:lol:


Did you like the gorilla ad guys? Did you laugh til you snorted?

I've seen it before, I think I first saw it on the Gruen Transfer. I honestly think it's fairly meh. A gorilla drumming? That probably drew the crowds at some 19th century fair.
 

Well hey, at least you're finally leading a thread:

Does that make up for all the times you feel like you've posted shitloads, only to find your total to be 7?
 
I don't really like any Australian ads on at the moment. I don't like how the Cadbury Gorilla ad is so obviously aimed at today's generation of twentysomethings and somethingteens that use the word "random" a lot.
