As a loather of gerlytrux, you’ve made me feel better - I’ve never seen that Toyota ad for pox before!

The old “bugger” Toyota ads, they were solid.

”Living in the back of the car” ads for MrBishi, they could’ve used the tagline “cars for the homeless”.

We keep seeing the Automotive Superstore ad on YouTube. I know one of the guys who started that company, great guy; coughpy ad. I now hate fire trails as a result.
 
Haven’t seen the Hilux share custody ad before. It’s very good!

My favourite is this Jeep ad. It was quirky for it’s time.
 
POX - any ad for home insurance where they spin a story about how well you will be looked after if your house floods/burns down/has a tree fall on it/insert any natural disaster here. Reality is that if you’re unfortunate enough to need to claim for anything substantial they will borderline prey on your vulnerabilities and only add to your stress/distress. The experience in getting them to pay to properly repair your house will likely be the complete opposite of what the ad depicts.

POX - the same pseudo ABC "commercials" that are repeated over and over and over and over again. And over again.

Fair enough that the national broadcaster promotes its own offerings.

But a bit less of the same stuff might be nice.

Yes, I know there's an ABC Listen thing. I now know it 20,000,000 times. :)
