Default Funny New Aussie TV Commercial

We have 'Australia Day' coming up and for some years now there's been a promotional push to celebrate by eating lamb - so each year a new commercial hits our TV screens ... and this year is a hoot!

For background, it has been set in the future 2031 and the walls you see are in reference to the state borders shutting down during this current pandemic.

The very final scene is in reference to our leader who took his family on a holiday to Hawaii during bush fires here.

Happy to answer questions, hope you get a laugh.

The girl in the hard hat coming out of a hole represents Western Australia with it's massive mining industry - they're so far away from the East coast that they've often suggested they should become a separate country.

Nobody does amusing adds like the Aussies. Two old ones that always come to mind are the Toyota Hilux adds... 'Bugger', and the saucy no knickers adds.

At 0.18 the old guy walks out the shop, on the wall is a news headline poster that reads 'Further Delays To NBN Rollout' which is a fantastic dig at how bad our broadband is, especially as the ad is set in 2031!

I love it, Bruce.

Very funny, but rather poignant too.
