Wrong variant of the Inn Style Mensland ad aired just before 6:30am QLD time this morning on Sunrise. Happy Mother’s Day? That was 6 months ago. It’s now November and it’s nearly Black Friday time lol.

The Youi TV ads with Ed Kavalee needs two things:

1 - Sam Pang to rip into him and,
2 - Narelle to rip into him.

Thoughts? :rofl:

Someone needs to rip shreds on the agency that came up with them, not at all clever or funny. Very awkward

Narelle needs to hit Ed over the head with that cricket bat.

Agree, pretty ordinary ads, but oddly I prefer them to the “we get you” ones.

The one where they sing “happy new year” at the end is an insult to the eardrums.

News Corp has named its top 26 commercials on Australian TV since 2000, with Not Happy Jan (Yellow Pages) at No.1. AAMI’s Rhonda and Ketut was second and Tourism Australia’s So Where the Bloody Hell are You? was third.

Was watching Imparja South yesterday… and happened to notice this ‘AI’ Generated ad for some sort of sale in the outback. The commercial featured 2 Kangaroos boxing in a boxing ring with other Kangaroos watching. It was a weird ad…

Turns out the classic rural bull sale ads have now got AI treatment

And on a side note; 10 Central still running the ‘L.I.F.E’ commercial from Australian Landcare that is pushing 13 years of age

After being absent from the Canberra advertising scene for years, it is apparent that Bags to Go have not changed their jingle (“We’re Bags to Go, and we’re priced so low!”) in almost 20 years. I’d assume that they’d change the jingle following the rebrand, but this doesn’t appear to be the case.

I’ve seen a cheap-looking 15-second TVC (currently not online) on WIN a few months ago that used the short version of the jingle, and I’ve heard a few radio ads that use the tail end of the jingle. A few days ago it was even blasting out of the South Point shopping mall!

You can make some pretty good jingles using Suno AI.

Sure costs money and takes time. This one made for fictional company called The Jason’s Corporation.

Yep. Sounds like AI slop. :stuck_out_tongue:

If I hear that damn Allianz Ad with the ‘I’m With You’ with the birds 1 more time-

It’s as annoying as that Telstra Whistling Ad that came when my Chooks kept screwing up against another team

There was a new Uber Eats ad on the tennis tonight, with Pat “Rafter” and Todd “Wood bridge” in addition to Jim “Courier”.

Corny and cheesy but I like it

Ad prices must be at an all time low considering what I’m seeing on Seven Melbourne.

Seeing more ‘local’ ads instead of the usual nationals which seems odd, haven’t seen an ad promoting local businesses for years, there’s even one promoting an advertising agency!
