Michael recently did a post containing a couple of ads that were funny as hell. I told him I’d find some funny as hell ones from Australia. This one is one of those. If you don’t find this funny, then I’ll doubt you’ll ever truly understand Australians, or their humor!
Now that you’ve seen it, you’ll have absolutely NO excuse for not knowing the tone of voice I’m using when I -or any other aussie for that matter - write NOT.HAPPY.JAN Apparently the window not opening wasn’t part of the plan, it just happened..made it better I think, don’t you?!
It’s an aussie classic. This phrase should be incorporated along with mateship in the preamble to the Australian Constitution to portray how as individuals, and a nation, we express our displeasure…..

I LOVE this expression and have adopted it wholeheartedly. Perhaps the fact that I am Canadian makes it lose it’s punch, but nonetheless it gets the point across!
It is just a pissa isn’t it? It can be used in so many different situations! I think as long as you get the tone right, the accent thing won’t matter….

Coming back to Oz in 2003 I heard this phrase all over, having never heard it before I was sooooooo confused WTF are people on, who is jan? (The ad had finished I think)
It’s taken me years and now you tell me it’s a bloody Yellow pages thing.
BTW, another thing that snuck up in my absence was ROVE, where did he come from so suddenly
LMFAO!! Are you seriously telling me you didn’t know? Surely your taking the piss out of me….
Kind of like Neighbours really!
As for Rove, he didn’t just sneak up. First he was on channel 9, or 7, can’t remember which one it was ,and they canned it. In true channel 10 form, they picked up something the others didn’t want and turned it into one of their best rated shows
