Nothing new here.

There have always been international ads dubbed into the local country's accent or even language.

Many of them were American ladies with 'big hair' talking with a Middle England lilt!

They have become more common with the renaming of brands to have one international name.

That 'Svit' advert is quite clearly dubbed - by the sounds of the name, probably from a Scandenavian language.

Not sure about that 'Ace' advert...

And why do all the new car ads have really old number plates?

Jeremy Nicholas on his website says that he is one of the faces of Ferrero Rocher in Germany.
He also recalls suffering for his art when he had to drink fruit salts in a commercial. Unfortunately it took 13 takes...

Have you ever noticed the makes of the other cars in car ads?

Barry Scott - he looks as if they embalmed the man from Mike's Carpets and found him a new product to sell.:hihi:
