Official Match Thread Season 36 Round 8 - Fighting Furies v Gumbies FFC @ rfctigerarmy's hippodrome

[Mop]

Going down south and getting the country tv ads screaming HILLZEEEEEZ is a core part of being West Australian. Gotta have the sticker on your car too.

HILZEEEEZ. DOWN SOUTH. SURF SHOP.

Then the next ad is for industrial lube and a shed.

Loved a good shed/garage ad.

Other essentials are the water tank ones, tractors or the hardware store thats 500km away.

Just gets you in the mood for a big weekend on the wines.

Don’t forget the creepy MF they have instead of Fat Cat to put this kids to sleep at 7:30. I’d have to ask my mate who grew up in Esperance. Can’t remember its name

That costume looks ratty as hell.

 

[Frederico_WA]

Three years is a long time in WA. Get him the nicest surfboard money can buy and a boat sponsorship and he’ll be golden

Just keep him away from any girls with the surname Twigley!

 

[beez]

There is nothing embarrassing about Cooper's work.
He is sensational.

He'd be more sensational doing his work shirtless.

<winky face>

 

[beez]

Im guessing you a glass half empty kinda guy

That's Humphrey. He's only creepy because he doesn't wear pants around kids.

 

[Barrybran]

I assume you're talking about Doopa Dog though unless GWN changed their characters

Yeah. Doopa. They still wheel him out for telethon.

I do heartily enjoy it, the kid has some zazz about him.

Yeah that’s the one.

Do the Eastern states have a fat cat equivalent?

 

[Falconista]

Can't believe none of the Country West Aussies have mentioned the greatest ad of all yet- Fiesta Canvas. I swear this ad was on for my whole schooling life at least.

PSA: Accents that are almost certainly not PC in 2023.

 

[omgfridge]

This is the ad that lives rent free in my head

 

[Barrybran]

Everyone in this thread: Let's go on a nostalgia trip

omgfridge: Hold my beer

Fat cat. Humphrey b bear.
Down the south coast they have a character called "big dog" who comes on at about 7.30 to tell the kids to go to bed

 

[Barrybran]

Do the Eastern states have a fat cat equivalent?

I can't say that I've noticed actually. I've had access to Foxtel or streaming the entire time I've been on the east coast so I've seen very little FTA for a decade outside of watching Sunrise before while I have breakfast.

Who wants happy childhood memories when we can watch toddlers get hit by a speeding car.
Wtf omgfridge

Its the ridiculously upbeat song, how quick it goes from 0-100 and also how often it used to be played (was on constantly).

Also lol

I think it's symbolic.
It's season 33 and omgfridge is happily riding to the warm embrace of serial_thrilla and the Dragons.....before NaturalDisaster speeds in and puts a stop to that.

 

[GWS Goose]

Listening to you guys reminiscence about country tv adds reminds me of my wife and her friends who grew up on the mid north coast (NSW) singing all these lame but catchy jingles that are ingrained in their memories any Sydney Sixers has never heard

I look forward to omgfridge ending this nonsense and coming home to the Gumbies.
This rebellion has gone on long enough.

Does it count as reminiscing if we’re all city folk who see them when we go to the south west for a sneaky holiday away?

Good call, can he bring gifts too? The Gumbies family always wanted a JyeDye and James Colorado of our own.

I guess so?
