As crap as these Tele/Vodies all are, who doesn't still get a laugh at the "Mexican Doug" Instant-Kiwi ads.
They are brilliant !!

Telecoont must've spent a fortune on advertising.
If their network and services and prices were really good, they could've just used viral advertising or word of mouth.

That balrdy jet boat ad REALLY pisses me off. WTF does it prove?!?
"Look - I can take a really long time to send a picture, while a jet sprint boat blasts around in the background. And even though it's really slow, I'm still finished before the jet boat goes past". SO?!?!?
I finished typing that sentence before someone, somewhere in the world finished having breakfast/a wank/a dump/lunch/[insert other totally unrelated event here].

IF ONLY the jetboat had showered The Hamster with muddy water at the end, instead of some other guy, there would've been at least some entertainment value.
Or they could have just had the jetboat on its own.

Pointless. Annoying. Bound to make people LESS likely to sign up for XT.

considering the boat has been reconfigured at least 3 times in the shoot, it's a load of crap anyway. check out the position(s) of the tv cameras on the roll cage/bow/nowhere....

Are you letting facts get in the way of the story?
Truth in advertising doesn't apply to things that aren't true.
They are only simulations for illustration purposes.

Another person that winds me up is that mouthy cow on the westpac add. The one that moans about her boyfriends/husbands, ex-flatmates and then says she's the best thing that happened to him.

Hope for his sake their actors.

I'd be happy to take the designer bird for a ride... I mean a ride out to Port Waikato to see how fanbloodytastic the XT coverage is there. It's bloody not!

Another ad that sticks in my craw, that toothy tart from Kiwibank - entirely over dressed in all the ads!

I like this thread because you can dump on things that it 100% doesn't matter if they get dumped on.

Someone (BD?) should send a copy of the ads to Top Gear so that Clarkson can mercilessly take the piss out of Hammond for making them.....

Nah not me - I'm not a top gear enthusiast. I've borrowed their ideas - with due credit, but it's aboot cars and I'm not.

All sweetness and light - I didn't even make the poll.

Fair call, but that poll was badly flawed - there were several names missing that should have been there, and at least a couple on there that aren't really shit stirrers, more like shit heads....
