The worst ads by far......are the obvious voice-dubbed ones.
Some lovely looking bird advertising perfume while lip-sync'ed as bad as any early Jackie Chan film. A housewife swearing blind to use some cleaning product while talking through a closed mouth. Hell of alot of adverts are doing this nowadays and it's just plain toss.
They are the new Punch'n'Judy of the 21st Century.
And as one user said umpteen pages ago, the Gayexchange advert is legendary :D

Voiced overI'd assumed it was because it was an international product and it saves them making different ads for different languages. I suppose the largest market gets the original in their language.

yeapI wondered at this for sometime. Why do so many ads have voice-overs? Then I went to California from the UK and I saw the exact same adverts, but they weren't dubbed but done using American actors/actresses, so the ads are dubbed for the local dialect or language.

They often film them in SpainAs Spanish people look agreeable, to us pasty Northern Europeans, and they are cheaper.
