One of the funniest television commercials to appear for some time is the so-called Toyota ‘bugger’ ad, receiving almost universal praise for its humour. In this assignment, I intend to analyse this ad, and try to discern what makes it so funny. Then, I will try to establish what this tells us of Australian culture, and consider the implications of this reflection upon the ministry of teaching God’s word.

I love you for making this ad.
If you dont mind, can you email it to me please? I currently live in Thailand and want to show my friends.
Thankyou
Sorry, but I only wrote about it, but didn’t make the ad. Here ‘s the link to it in youtube: http://youtube.com/watch?v=nvAT8eS67RM
The ad is actually an NZ ad created by the talented Satchi and Satchi NZ team
Jeez… you Bloody Aussies want to take the credit for all our stuff… The “Bugger” ad was done in New Zealand!!!!!
(Unfortunately they employed an Aussie to do the ad…
so it could be shown in aussie, I guess)
