[sliat1981]

where's superman when u need him

[sliat1981]

no, go 2 sleep now! ur so tired, sleep NOW

[holdenhero7070]

The canoe was right at home there, still think he sholdve found a boat ramp though.

[Quicksilver1111]

God, drowning ads scared me as a child. You don't happen to have that particularly frightening one with the pool shaped like a coffin do you?

[WretchedLivesWhite]

Ahaha...jackass.

[AugerMartel]

Sorry mate, but Rex Hunt isn't fishing nearby to help you...

[tandango1]

this is my mum and dad in the video and they couldnt get the car to sink they had to filll it with slabs of concrete

[wuzzlevideos]

@tandango1 Wow, is this true? I'd love to hear more stories from filming etc if you have any other words to add? Get them to reply! :)

[sliat1981]

@tandango1 no it's my mum and dad! see, i can make up bullshit too!

[Seattlecarnut]

What an idiot! If he's tired, he shouldn't risk his safety, or his family's safety by trying to drive whilst tired.

[Shistydog]

Makes you really think, It can happen to anybody anytime any where

[XXXTheEpicMeowXXX]

i love reading your captions XD

[wuzzlevideos]

@XXXTheEpicMeowXXX No problem. I try and give these a wry going-over for comedy's sake.

[motorolarival3]

Soo sad :/

[HelloImAPizza]

That quick dip in the river had woke him up for sure!

[tankmaster1018]

I got chills watching this. That situation would be absolutly terrifying and I would probably kill myself if I was the father.

[northernmonkeybutt08]

OMG!! strange enough, That was friggin scary!

[MrBlues95]

cars dont sink that fast

[elyor5]

@MrBlues95 they do

[r0k088]

@MrBlues95 windows were down.. so all the water got in quicker making it sink faster

[FrozenFirestorm]

This is a good video but there were so many factors that involved the families survival that was not shown

[electrogeek77]

When will people learn that a car with a boat on it doesn't automatically make it amphibious?

[phsycoguitarman]

dud a car wouldnt sink that fast

[stargazer24242]

@phsycoguitarman IF the windows were down like you saw then yes the water gose in quiker makes the car have more weight and the car sinks faster its Common Sence man think a little.

[thetodge]

Crocs are bound to get them now.

[Jerram89]

pretty depressing ad this one

[dan5200]

talk about bathing the kids

[wuzzlevideos]

Ahahahah :)

[MCRrox1996]

well at least they have a canoe on the top of the car

[elsiefire]

I guess this (cars running off the road into bodies of water) is a big problem in Oz?? Still a thought provoking commercial for a real problem.

[Taxistudd]

why haven't the RTA put guard rails around a road that is so close to a lake? who is responcible for posting speed limits along these roads anyway?

[xtinablah]

that is soooo not the point

[deadthevideo]

If that canoe was not secured onto the top of the car, would that have stopped the car from going down that fast and therefore give the family more time to get out before the car submerged completely?

[wuzzlevideos]

I doubt it could hold that much weight, but good thinking!

[1RadicalOne]

Actually, a canoe might slow the sinking, as it traps air underneath it.

[inkblots101]

That canoe certainly didn't help. :C

[comradeash]

Didn't the last guy who tried this do it to get back at his wife?

[rolla16]

interesting ending. and of course the driver survives and feels guilty the rest of his life.

[Worzbuquet]

That only shows how bad the Falcons are... he would have made it to the other side in a Commodore, eh?!?! :-)

[Jerram89]

anyone notice that there are a damn lot of Kiwis in these apparently Australian ads?

[wuzzlevideos]

I'm not good enough to recognise the difference in the accent :(

[Jerram89]

damn! - talk about quick response - well my 'youtube flavour of the night' this evening is, for some reason, ye olde road safety ads.

[wuzzlevideos]

I just happened to be sat at the computer and saw the emails from YouTube come in ;)

[dolbyboags]

no, there's just a fuckload of them in Australia ;)

[irasistabelle]

amazed at how many sexist fucks there are on here.. i drive all the time. girls drive just as much as men in this country! (Aus)

[LoafOfPint]

Gutted. I thought Australians loved sleeping? AND making women do everything? This is a contradiction of what we've been told for years. If only he'd stuck to the stereotype, his family wouldn't have died. Then again, he's not real.

Bye.

[Boobalees]

Men drive everywhere women hand over the beers.

Most popular phrase in male australian culture

"oi cheral, get me anuva tinny outta the fridge"

[JDG198569]

I'm sure a car does not sink that fast

[LoafOfPint]

It did have four people inside it, and some crap tied to the top. I still think this should have been an advert advising you to teach your kids how to swim, though.

[DazzaJayFatz]

a car sinks pretty damn fast, Mythbusters did an ep of How to escape from a sinking car.

it sinks just as fast as in that video.

[ScytheKing]

I saw that! wun of the best myths they eva did!

but anyway, i bet that woke him up!

[JDG198569]

omg thats scary shit

[scottpilgrim88]

this calls for AQUAMAN!!!

[whizkidforte]

Too bad he's not in reality...

[LoafOfPint]

You realise this advert is acted, right?

[tuotierugif]

I don't know why, but I just can't take anything seriously when there are Australian accents involved.

[LoafOfPint]

"Oy, noy! M'nippers an' woife 'as drahned in m' hetchbeck! Waddle oy duyuh?!?"

[Boobalees]

lol. that sounds more kiwi than aussie. Try this:

ah nah mi nippas an' me woif ah drownin in me

wagen. wadda am i gonna dooo
