Errors in Ads

[midfielder]

Was watching the Snickers commercial today the one where the football player goes down holding his leg and MR T in his tanks comes crushing over the fence ............

Well the players in the game have no shin pads on. I guess the ad made by a non football player.

Any one else in got any erros in ads to help pass the off season

error in the same ad:

2. Tanks are reserved for military personnel and Mr T wouldn't be able to get his hands on one
3. It is doubtful Mr T would know how to operate a tank
4. The player diving, as would all the other players, would see the tank coming from way off, and thinking it may be some crazed gunman, be running for cover in any direction

Eggy, erin and I were extras in a short film.

My job was to organise the players and the actions to suit what the directer wanted, as he wasnt a football player and didnt really have a clue what happens in real life, i had to continuesly change and make a few werid setups and drills.
A few of the other player extras struggled to kick a ball. ;D
And it always seemed that we'd get the drill correct in practice until we were actually filming

Was a great experience, but just cause someone wears a football kit, doesnt mean they have a clue what theyre doing, look at the movie "goal". ;D

There's a guy in sydney that owns a couple of tanks.
You can road register them.
Remember the disgruntled telstra worker that stole a tank from the guy mentioned above, and went to a heap of telstra towers and started knocking them down.

Not to sure that  someone would sell him a tank .......... as to if he could drive ..... thats another question

 

[Part_Timer]

arent tanks just like a skid steer loader (ie: bobcat, posi track) so it would just be two handles to drive it..??

 

[marinermick]

[cue all the f**king tank experts]

 

[Part_Timer]

I 'drove' a tank once, along with a few friends. It had a few more levers than two, but the principle looked the same.

The tank was an old WWII Churchill on the beach on the East coast of England near Grimsby (home of the mighty Mariners).

It was a lot of fun until we realised we were on a bombing range for a nearby RAF squadron (I hate Squadrons). We all had to scarper fast when the siren sounded and the red flag was raised.

We got back to our camping ground just ahead of a jeep full of serious uniformed types.

Like our local version, the squadron couldn't shoot for shit, and the tank was still there the following year.

The other issue with the snickers ad is that the mailbox he cleans up (as he drives to the park) is actually a UK one.

Yet another ad "globalised"

Everyone knows Mr T can do what ever the hell he wants to

 

[hasbeen]

A few year's ago at a CCF Delegate's meeting, the then CCF General Manager, a certain Mr. Keech, handed out some of the glossiest / sharpest flyers ever seen (Telstra I think) promoting their involvement in Soccer. Opened up the centre spread and saw the words "Kick a goal". Filed straight in the bin.

Back to the ads.. The ads that really give me the shits are the ones that are dubbed..like there is a voice over but the person is made to look like they are talking..
e.g: that stupid colgate one with the indian looking 'dentist'.
many stupid pine-o-clean ones do it as well

and thats my beef for the day.

I believe that started because of a broadcasting regulation, specifying a minimum percentage of Australian talent featured in all ads. Companies that used to use the same ad all round the world would just get the voices dubbed by Aussies. It counts as Aussie actors and is stilll much cheaper than re-shooting the whole thing.
... so I heard.

It makes sense, as I don't seem to remember it at all before about the mid-late 90's. I think around this time laws were also passed specifying minimum proportions of locally produced TV programs and songs on radio playlists. Possibly a similar thing for movies as well.

Does anyone remember that Mastercard commercial where a Dad takes his kid to the cricket? The cost of a bucket of "popcorn" $2.50... WHO THE F*CK BUYS POPCORN AT THE CRICKET?!!! It was obviously a US baseball add that was very dodgedly dubbed to make it relevant to Aussies.
