By Digitas or something, anyway...
Apologies to real Australians and anyone who has had the displeasure of actually drinking Foster's.

Are they resurrecting an 1996 ad series?

Why would anybody want to talk to an Australian?
- Amicus0
it depends boobs. If they drink Fosters, no. If they do silly, possibly racist skits on National TV, no, but otherwise, why the hell not?

Very unfunny. Similar thing has been done to death.
Being an Australian I don't find this insulting, just incredibly inaccurate and definitely not Australian for funny.

they're fuckin bullshit.
i'd be surprised if a Creative let alone an Australian has been anything to do with them to be honest.
Looks like they were dreamt up by some marketing dept. in London by people who have a] never drunk beer, 2] never been to Australia, and 3] never drunk Australian beer.
This shit has been peddled by Fosters for so long now, even XXXX has changed their positioning! [ and getting a Queenslander to change position on anything other than the angle of their sunshade is bloody impossible! ]
Fuckin shiiite mayte. Fuckin Shiite Beer. Fuck Off.

Everybody already knows the beer is shit. Everybody already knows that's not what Australia is like. Jeebus. It's like mocking Canada in South Park. It's not making fun of Canada, it's making fun of the stereotype of Canada. I suppose it'd be funnier if it were hipsters and PBR...

Nobody in Australia drinks that shit. It's some lefty pinko chardonnay drinking creative perpetuating this myth.
And by the way, Harry Connick can get fucked as well.

haha this thread cracks me up.... Can't even think of the last time I saw anyone here drinking Fosters, it's a complete piss-take - everyone here knows that Fosters is absolute crap...

I havent seen fosters in the bottlo for ages, they must have a seperate fridge for all bitters that no-one likes.

In Europe, Fosters is basically Crown Lager in a can. And Crown Lager's not complete piss, there's much worse to be had.
Unfortunately we get the 'real' Fosters here in Australia, and it IS complete cat piss.
Out of the Aussie beer ads I like, these ones come to mind straight away...

The only Aussies I've ever encountered are in London always complaining about how shit it is compared to Australia without ever fucking off back to Australia.
