    Absolutely! Especially when the voices are dubbed and someone has done a really really terrible job of superimposing the english packaging over the original and it jerks all over the screen. Comedy gold imo.

    Here's a shot of the Iraqi Kinder Egg.

    The one for some kind of toothpaste or mouthwash with the line "Ask your Dentist" is the most ridiculous one, I think. See, it's such a stupid annoying ad, I can't even remember what the product is!!! That ain't good advertising!

    The shiney smiley people they're interviewing might as well have the Stars and Stripes tatooed onto their foreheads. Yet they are dubbed into Dublin accents.
    There is a man one one of them who's about 40-odd, telling us how fantastic this stuff is and his name is given as Devon somebody or other.
    How many 40 odd year old Irish men do you know called Devon? :D

    The mother of all bad dubbed ads at the moment is the one for kitchen towels. You know the ones to do with thirst pockets where dad tells his son small wee elephants in the kitchen towel suck up all the water. Its so bad i have to change the channel till its over!

    The paramedics?

    What I absolutely hate about that is "It's my choice! Because the dentist told me! "
