How about all those badly dubbed ads from the States (maybe it's an Oz thing)You can see it's been transcoded from NTSC (usually looks "soft-focus")and then you have broad Aussie accents dubbed (sometimes early Bruce Lee style) over an ad that basically the ad client was presented with the cost of filming etc. and the comparison cost of using a dubbed ad from the ad houses merkin counterparts and clearly chose the less inferior product.

We get it worse - badly dubbed ads from Europe...so that the actors' mouths aren't even remotely synching with the English words.
There's one kind where they clearly designed pan-European use in - the speaker's mouth is always obscured, so they can dub it into any language. Often we'll be shown a shot of the person they're talking to, rather than themselves.
Trouble is, once you've seen that, you can't help noticing it every time...
