Single link YouTube advertisement for a beer product (that is bloody funny).
This commercial is awesome. But I bet it's because it's foreign to me. If I understood all the references, it'd probably suck.
It is awesome! Now can someone explain to this American what the "azza" references are and what "chucking a sickie" means?
Bazza. Chucking a sickie. And before you ask, bogan. The parade is a parody of the Anzac Day march.
That was great!!
Dunno about "azza". Am thinking from the way the guys are hiding their face "chucking a sickie" means taking a false sick day.
Cheers!
"Chucking a sickie" (or "pulling a sickie") is calling in sick so you can go and watch a sports event.
"Men who've had their arm in a cow" - well, you don't want to know.
"Meat tray winners" - trays of meat are auctioned in pub raffles. If you win, you're probably a mate of the auctioner.
"Built like a brick shit house - front rowers, boulder lifters etc.
Great ad, tellurian!
I'm a fervent fan of all things Aussie and VB has produced some brilliant ads over the years, but the beer itself brings to mind cold wombat piss poured through a rusty sewer pipe. (I'd never say this in a pub full of bogans of course)
In a similar vein, this classic Molson's ad is trotted out every Canada Day, made for a similarly skanky brew.
Here in NZ we throw a sickie. Like we throw a wobbly.
I dunno I appreciate a VB now and then as a little reminder of home.
Ok, so maybe VB's not that bad (if it's drunk as close a possible to freezing without it actually being solid) and the only person more annoying than a wine snob is a beer snob.
It's just that Australia produces some really good beers.
I guess beer loyalties are like sports team loyalties, not always rational but fun to indulge in.
