sure have! saw it during neighbours.. (..what the hell? i was watching neighbours? ahh! shunn!)

I laughed at the lady saying that she was sick of having to get an early bus.
And having to put makeup on whilst on the bus. (whilst her hand slipped, and drew up about half of her face in lippie, which ..only the severly unco can do!!)

The first I saw was during the TODAY show at about 7.58pm, and the others have been during National Nine News and WIN News.

All Channel Nine news programmes i notice. Do you ever change the channel?

And here i was thinking that all the kids watched the cartoons on Ten or ABC Kids in the mornings...

Meanie?
WTF? He physically can't do it, he's about 300kms from the broadcast area!

I would, but don't have the technology as he mentioned.

ryan just tape the ad...buy a DVD-R then just press DUBBING a few seconds before the ad starts as it takes a few seconds to start, then once that is done go into the menu and finalise the CD.

Put it in the computer when its done and it will be the file call ???.VOB - send me that and i will convert it

sorry, last second or two is cut off - i'll try to get that fixed up
Title: Re: ACTION TV Ads
Post by: Buzz Killington on June 01, 2008, 07:42:01 PM
that second one has a new version, with a asian male driver at the end. Didnt see the whole thing but I'm guessing the ad was updated with a "starting tomorrow"
Title: Re: ACTION TV Ads
Post by: Buzz Killington on June 16, 2008, 06:17:43 PM
there's a whole new ad now showing, people around town saying "if i had my way...." followed by a voiceover talking about a modern fleet (cue footage of scanias on adelaide ave, capital crl and anzac pde), also features the extended background music as heard on the radio ads, and a young-ish female driver "we're going your way!"

Post by: Irisbus Rider on June 16, 2008, 06:31:21 PM
Hey, good to hear/see. I'll have to look out for that one.

But Scanias on the ads? Pfft, that'll turn off passengers, ha ha.

Here is the new ad guys.
Accidentally cut the thing a bit short.

You legend Locki! Thanks for that.

I breifly heard something about ACTION, raced to the TV and caught the end of the ad, but there is is! Thanks mate!


Regarding the ad, gosh it's professional! Top job for ACTION, I really hope it pays off for them, and more importantly, get bums on seats.

Why would you want bums on seats, they'd never leave

*boom tish* sorry, it is 2am and im drinking a 'rockstar energy drink'

its no better than a joke todd just made, a mini ran a red light and todd was like "i coulda been crossing there you mini driver...not the actor' and it took me five seconds to get it,
Title: Re: ACTION TV Ads
Post by: Buzz Killington on June 17, 2008, 07:12:00 PM

Ha ha, yeah, Sorry, thanks to you too Ryan.

Ad for the joke(s), I don't get them.....
Title: Re: ACTION TV Ads
Post by: Buzz Killington on June 18, 2008, 08:53:53 PM
bums on seats = two meanings - one is having passengers on buses, the other is literal- homeless people on seats
mini driver = a person driving a mini, and the actress.
Title: Re: ACTION TV Ads
Post by: Irisbus Rider on June 18, 2008, 09:51:14 PM
Ah, ok, I see.

Awful jokes.....
