Remotely? Yes they do.
But… but… you’re BLECK!
I’m pleased the commercial mentions the Empire State.
I’m even more pleased that the commercial does not actually air in the Empire State.
A South African kid named Sven?
I kinda like this ad. But then again, I also like the Head On ad we have in the States. (And yes, for those of you wondering, Frosties is the British equivalent of our Frosted Flakes.)
Actually, they sound English.
Incidentally, if you EVER want to start out on the absolute wrong foot with a cute South African girl, mention that her English accent sounds cool. :rolleyes:
It’s probably just that i’m more used to it, but a South African accent doesn’t sound at all like an English accent to me.
In Korean, they’e called Corn Frost.
That sounds like some type of plant blight.
Come on, doesn’t a witch-hunt always go after the public face of pure evil?
That’s the first time I’ve seen it. The kid is the most smug shite I’ve ever seen, but what really clinches the horror for me is the voice-over, which is dubbed by a clearly-much-older voice-over artist, who is over-earnestly enunciating all consonants while simultaneously attempting to sing in a mock-cockney (not Australian!) accent. Plus the fucking tune and everything else about it makes me want to gnaw my own head off.
I hate Frosties too.
No they don’t… :dubious:
Considering Afrikaners are of Dutch descent, I would think Sven would be a pretty typical name for a white south african.
To the best of my knowledge, Sven is a Scandinavian name, a Dutch one.
Oh bollocks. “NOT a Dutch one.” Grrr.
They’re Gonna Be Great!!! All over the Interstate! They’re gonna be Great even if you hate this mate! They’re gonna be great They’re Gonna be Great and tatse good after you expectorate! They’re gonna be great! Just don’t get caught by mom when you masterb…
(Continues mindlessly humming this non tune as he exits)
Nah, real plant blight names are funnier and more suggestive, like Corn Smut and Karnal Bunt.
Why is there an alien on top of it? Was King Kong too busy?
Yes, they do. (What, does this need to go to GD or something? 
)
At least they sound English to the ears of this Texan. Mind you, we don’t see a lot of Brits, Afrikaaners, or even Aussies in Texas.
OK, having seen the commercial, the only thing that really bugs me is the badly dubbed voice. Other than that, I rather liked parts of it, and would have an easy enough time ignoring the rest of it.
Dude, King Kong is dead, remember? That’s why they had an alien.
The amusing bit, to me, is that this ad doesn’t air in South Africa. And he’s not singing with a Syaaf Efrikan accent at all. Dubbing done by someone from the Jamie Oliver school of “Sorted, Mate” mockney, it sounds like.
Still, nice to see Table Mountain briefly in an international ad. Even if that jingle is now burned into my brain.
