What that chap said. The crappy american ones tend to be kept with an american accent.Originally posted by Spacecadet View PostI'm sure that most of the adverts like that are from the Euro Zone.
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.Originally posted by EternalOptimist View PostWhat I meant was, how can two Enlish speaking peoples need such dubbing ??
do we really form the words so differently with our mouths ?
just seems a bit odd to me

but the mouth and the words are so badly synched, it weird. You can watch a Mogolian film dubbed in English and get better synchronization.
why is this ????

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.Originally posted by EternalOptimist View PostYou see an advert on the telly, it's an American ad, with a UK voice dubbed over,

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.
