Possibly because of the overuse of the term in situations where it kinda doesn't fit -- lots of people use it over situations where things have gone wrong, rather than situations that've gone wrong at someone else's expense -- But at the time I thought it was hilarious, and still find it a chuckle.
Probably one of the best adverts I have ever seen. Indelibly etched into the minds of many Australians and for good reason. So glad I'm able to see it again here.
Great Ad. Does anyone remember another Yellow Pages ad (I think) from years back where an athlete won a gold medal representing the nation of Robota, and trying to find the national anthem to play for the medal ceremony? Then they play the "Row Row your boat" tune. If anyone could find that it would be fantastic - I love that ad
thanks for putting this on, I've been looking for it for ages (3 years!). My girlfriend is called Jan but she's from Zimbabwe and everyone always says it to her.
LMAO
