These really are my pet hate. If said company cannot be arsed to make an advert that is culturally and lingually appropriate to the country I love, I refuse to buy their product.

Strangely these adverts often seem to be mother and child having a conversation about cleaning detergant or personal hygiene products.

English or nothing.

Harsh I know :D

or having a poo!
 
The other thing you notice in these adverts is that the product packaging in question has clearly been shopped in.
 
Thinking about it, why would a 4 year old think about going round to his mates to have a poo?

1st off if I was the parent I would not be letting him stand foot on the outside without my watchful eye over them!

I love the one where they're giving out aid:
A: Reason with them.
B: Try to restore order.
C: Stop giving out aid.

All I was thinking was:
D: Nuke them from orbit.

The regualr army ones are stupid, but I LOVE the Marines one. They totally make me want to becme a hard-ass Marine.

Theres 2, one where it shows the young lad in training then concludes with him on a Zodiac boat on a night operation, with that "look" in his eye after hes all trained up and hardcore. Theres also the one in the swamp, where he is alone and is ambushed by a guerilla, then all of his squaddies come out of their camo to rescue him.

God I want to be a Marine, those adverts are what young men want to see. Not the army ones where they ask you to think first, shoot later.

Fixed. That's what I think when I see that army advert.

Does anyone else also hate the "Just £2 a month ones" & the "What if..." ones?

All I can think when I see the one with the girl and they say "What if, she went to school?" is, well we would all get better quality clothes. Simple.
 
I hate that colgate plaque one with the blatently American woman dubbed over in an English voice. That ad ****es me right off.

Also that schol foot odour stuff advert sucks balls too.
 
well yes, usually the products are made by P&G or Unilever, where they have the same products across Europe.

outside the UK, you'll see the same adverts that we have in the UK but dubbed into german or french or whatever. so sometimes it's the other way round. seriously, wgaf?
 
The worst has to be the Mr. Muscle advert though.

I mean it's got everything, annoying child, dubbed woman and aweful CGI, it then tops of the list of stupidity with the most rediculouse product design of all time.

Can't remember that Colgate one; is it the one with the 'dentist' walking around?

Oh, and it's the feet! :p
 
I wish we had foreign TV. Bulgarian Deal or no deal is hilarious. Instead of cash prizes, they have stuff like bags of crack, bottles of wine etc.
