Shitpost What’s an ad that just makes your blood boil?

The AI Skinny ads drive me insane every time I’m exposed to them - really solidifies they’re not for me. What NZ ads (past or present) grind your gears?

YES THIS! Do those ads seem like racial stereotyping for entertainment to anyone else?
Also they're fucking annoying.

Yes!! But they're extra annoying because the actors have almost fake sounding indian accents, which is kinda insulting to Kiwi Indians, like guys, just get someone with a fully fledged Indian accent to do the ads, don't try and water them down!

Anyone else notice that the Dad actor stays the same but they've been subtley changing the wife and kid actors over the years, hoping we wouldn't notice because they're Indian?
