I agree, the breaks are longer, but there is a difference between commercial advertising and promotional advertising. I think you'll find Foxtel show ads about themselves most of the time, instead of businesses.
While watching an add for life insurance my viewing was abruptly cut off by a television show as i pay to watch these excellent adds i feel you should keep these invasive shows to an absolute minimum why else would i pay? I also enjoy the company of insurance folk who call from time to time in person at my door as does my Doberman Trixy. Please explain.
pretty childish comment "rhys21kipling". it just goes to show your IQ doesn't it 20 years ago HD was not heard of. good commercial by the way, always liked it.
Hey, that's my husband you're talking about! He's the "nerd" in the scene where she's pregnant and when the kid is about 5. He's actually totally HOT. Good makeup & wardrobe can ruin anyone ... His brother (Patrick Brammall - Canal Road, The Alice) plays the guy with the mullet, handing his dad a CD, and the grown-up son in the last bit. We nearly had my son in there as the 5 y.o. but we decided he's not cut out for that line of work - too much expensive equipment to destroy...
hahaha im in this ad at 0:12. only see me for a second though. easiest job ever, all i had to do was to look up and then down at the camera behind a green screen. o and the kid before me was in that ad for the election i think where hes the prime minister but he cant vote.
hahaha, i never thought it was going to be as good as it turned out, i thought it was going to turn out like one of those crappy foxtel ads like the one where supposedly the T.V. starts talking to you and persuading you to get foxtel. i remember seeing that lounge room that you had your part in as i went to mine, its really strange seeing it on tv.
I love this!!!...I love these types of adverts that show how electronics, fashion, lifestyles etc change throughout the decades...and thanks to you all for posting the name of the singer and song name on this page....
Can anyone tell me who that women is behind the lounge and sits down in the chair. I want her for an ad. Great 60s face. What about the great TV face on the guy at 41 secs onwards I know him from somewhere. Congratulations FOXTEL you have got the greatest actors in this ad. I hope see more of these two faces.
do you seriously want her for an ad? I think I can get you her name and agent details as my hubby worked on the ad with her. Let me know if you'd like me to get them.
its 'lost in time' by whitley (aka lawrence greenwood) a seriously awesome artist from victoria, aust. If you get to see him live you really should, he's bloody brilliant and very funny.
It looks brilliant!
