If there’s one thing you can’t deny it’s Australia’s awesome sense of humor. Often times I’ll see things on TV that would cause an uproar in the States. The whole attitude on offending people here just doesn’t exist since everyone knows not to take these things seriously. You’ll get TV programs that say “shit” and “fuck” during primetime airing on local channels. Hell, “shit” and “fuck” can’t even be said on cable TV in the States until after midnight.
Here are a few TV commercials that shows their humor:
Solo
Lemon flavored soft drink. Haha, man cans…
Snickers
This one may be playing in the states, I’m not sure.
Pure Blonde
Aussie beer. Not that great, I prefer to drink…
Carlton Draught
One of the most epic ads ever made. I’ll never get sick of watching it.

That is the most epic ad in existence!

Well, I know the Carlton Draught one played during the 2007 Superbowl…or maybe 2006…one of the two. The others were pretty awesome though.

It’s not a Superbowl commercial since Carlton Draught isn’t sold in the States. I’m sure it was during the AFL Grand Final (equivalent of the Superbowl here), which Geelong just won. Go Cats! Anyhoo, it still doesn’t detract from its awesomeness.
