    What that chap said. The crappy american ones tend to be kept with an american accent.

    The crappy european ones look awful - Dr Oetker & Kinder spring to mind.

    Probably because the US script read.

    Hey! You looking for a great deal?!? You betchya! Don't go to those pesky price comparison sites. Why? I'll tell you why, listen up bud, They suck! That's right, they suck!



    The UK script read.

    Hello, excuse me for telling you this, but we might be able to save you a small amount of money. Sorry for bothering you.

    Once you’ve dubbed out ‘like’, ‘oh my god’ and ‘woop’ there’s not much left to listen to.

    You can tell the Euro adverts - all the kids are white

    why is this ????

    I am sure that I read somewhere that Australian made TV commercials are dubbed for screening in New Zealand because New Zealanders find the Australian accent whiney and annoying.

    Because advertisers know if they try and sell us something in a whiny American accent they won't get far, but they are too cheap to make the whole advert again.

    The usual utter contempt the Merkins have for the cultures of the rest of the world.

    It is that arrogance that makes them hated the world over.
