I wanna join the club of people who are confused with this ad. It's for Boost mobiles btw. I still don't get it. Tama's dish-washing one below is in the same series, There is an explanation to that, that fits (about her texting too much & having sore fingers) but I still don't understand where the toilet comes in.

I'm so sure I saw an ad where that was explained. I think theres a whole series & one of the earlier ones tells us that. But still, its lame.

There's something really strange about that ad.

It's not just that she's taken the phone into the toilet with her (she might be expecting an urgent phone call or text message), but when she bends down to pick up the phone it appears to have been located on her legs. I think if I were to take my phone into the toilet, I wouldn't put it on my legs.

im surprised that this ad is causing confusion, given that it shows a bandaged hand at the end of the ad. they've done them kind of shitty, but it still gets the message across (or so i thought)

yeh im sick of those drink driving ads as well, considering tyou CAN legally drink and drive, provided that your under 80mg/100mls or if yoru under 20 less than 30mg/100mls, they should define it as DRUNK driving.

I Actually dont mind the one where those 20-something hippies are stopped at the check-point on the way to that party, very amusing watching hippies in an ad highlighting a serious issue

errr.... i think they're supposed to promote home safety.

i think they're employing the same kind of shock effect that the drink driving ads do

Those ads start off like regular ads, one a pretend ad for a snack bar, the other for hot water. Then just as we've been lulled into a kind of "oh, not another crappy ad" kind of mood, suddenly it's twisted. The woman trips over and smashes into the glass coffee table, the guy in the shower slips and cracks his head. It's taking the normal happy world of an advertisement and making it a dark and dangerous place.

trixie, ummm, I think you need some help

I agree, I think they're funny. (I'm sure I said this on the crappy Space forums ages ago)

Wouldn't it be funny if the guys towel flew off when he falls over? 'Cos that's what I was expecting the first time I saw it.

& the ladder one just looks so fake it's funny. Even the first time I saw it I knew what would happen, he seems to purposely wobble the ladder & accidentally on purpose make it fall.
(Probably to scam ACC into giving him a huge pay-out)
(Hey! Yeah! wouldn't those ads be better suited to educating people about making honest claims only?)

Those ads with Havoc and Newsboy about Earthquake safety don't exactly show everyone getting encapsitated under their houses and apparently its suppose to be promoting Earthquake safety by a simple phrase "FIX FASTEN FORGET".

yeah mega. dont know how you could say that they are making false claims..... they are actually injured lol. ACC aren't gonna try and claim that the chick fell thru the glass table on purpose :P

i wonder how they did those ads?
good call with the jason english lessons as well

Yeah is that the same woman as the one thats on all the Briscoes ads?? I hope so - she annoys the hell outta me and the idea of her banging her head into a wall almost makes it better...

which ones are they? vodafone have a lot of ads at the moment it seems

hahah i just heard one on the rock..... terrible!!!

speaking of ads on the radio, has anyone heard the soulmates ads? there's two i like:

"Hey i got home last night from my over exaggeration classes and guess how many messages i had from soulmates dating service?"
"how many"
"11............................ million."
hahaha ok just the way seh says it really cracks me up.
and the other one with the rap song and the westie guy is putting words into it, man its great.

//However they all end with the "Booty's in the house y'all"

i heard some NZdj's mixed that into a rap song, yuckk..

FUCK
i dont believe they actually made that ad. its like a reject from the 80's ( and thats baaaaaaad). somebody deserves to be shot.

also can somebody add their opinion to this. me and a mate were arguing about whether the man and woman in the maccas ad (the one with the two aforementioned applying makeup/shaving in their respective cars and laughing) are strangers or are they husband and wife. your opinions please....

Hehe Twink, you keep making me laugh :-)

//its like a reject from the 80's

THAT, my dear, is EXACTLY what i was going to post.......great! lol.

//also can somebody add their opinion to this...............and wife. your opinions please....

they are strangers. that is how i interpreted it.

i hate those "JASONNNNNNNNNNN" maccas ad. they are dumb.

ahah that ad is pretty screwed, and to think hes like yelling and just telling you to "suck it! suck it and see!!" it kind of scares me...

I must say I liked that ad, It is an 80's reject and that's what makes it so hip and funky with the whole 80's revival. It gets stuck in your head so well.

i was like "wtf? what moose ad?" until i realised you meant mousse. lol.

that ad and the other shaving ad [the veet one] where they're on that 'two week safari....'....dicks
