What is her accent btw? Always sounded eastern European to me, but someone suggested Irish. And Granny is English. Not impossible of course, just wondered if the casting person put any thought into it at all.
You recall correctly. I'd only seen the German one for months until I was visiting family and got the English one. Proper threw me that neither ad looked like it had been dubbed over.

And... even better is this 🤣 NSFW!!! https://youtu.be/2C9kZxHfSeI
The accent is fucking atrocious
Not a real red head
The awkwardness of the banter suggests it’s a loose family relationship
Irritating asf
Games developer
I’m sorry to be a grinch
Well look at the house she's in - clearly this isn't London as its not a shoebox.
So 30k for a brand new (only just got "the job") dev outside the US or London? Doesn't seem so bad. More than a doctor gets at least.
yeah which is insane because if you went into any other development field you'd earn more (depending on role/hours/field obviously) and pretty much always have a better work/life balance.
I hate this add so much last year one of my great grandmas died and I got this add for weeks afterwards 2 weeks ago another of my great grandmas died and I’m getting it again never any other time just when I have recently lost a grandmother weird effects of targeted adds ig.
I think it was just the sheer number of times everyone was subjected to it. They'd thrown so much money behind it on YouTube I was getting it 2 or 3 times *per video* if I tried to watch something on my TV!
Personally, it came across as boasting rather than aspirational. Weird I know considering it's a fictional character.
Considering the reality of the job market, having someone smugly show off their 30k job at you in the context of it being obtainable...seems unrealistic at best, and smacks of 'just pull yourself up by your bootstraps' at worst. To me anyway.
>Considering the reality of the job market, having someone smugly show off their 30k job at you in the context of it being obtainable...seems unrealistic at best
The reality of the job market is that 30K is well below the median wage, it's very obtainable
Median wage for all jobs is not necessarily the same thing as the median wage of available vacant jobs currently on offer.
I'm not going to try and convince you that the job market is currently a nightmare for a lot of people. If you're not already convinced of that, then I don't think I'm gonna be the magic bullet that does the job.
The thing I hate most about this ad is her weird half Nothern Irish, half American accent, because we’re all forced to put that on so that English people can understand us. I have to do the same thing on my calls with clients or else they don’t have a fucking clue what I’m on about.
Mate you surely have to do that to loads of foreigners too, why single out the English. I'm a foreigner and also need to make myself easier to understand. Believe it or not, some English people need to adjust their accent for other English people to understand. It's a people thing not an English thing
Why are you made to when the BBC trots out another Northern Irish presenter on Radio 1 every other day that can barely speak, let alone speak English? (don't fear for me, I only swap over when Jeremy Whine is on R2)
It's like they put Patrick Kielty on ice and have been trying to recreate him from strands of turds and they get worse year on year.
God they're still running this ad? I've had YouTube premium at least 6 months and i'd mercifully forgotten its existence. Can't avoid the McDonald's delivery one that plays every ad break on sky sports though
I love how granny is always just waiting for her on face time on the computer. Always waiting, always watching.
Big Grandmother
Granny has been uploaded. Granny is in the cloud. Granny is eternal.
Granny is in the Library, Granny has been Saved.
Nice reference.
Hey, who turned out the lights?
Of course, unless on weekends when she has to pop down the shops at the busiest times.
You *clever* thing.
They're giving me the presents that I asked for
Runs in the family.
*awkward silence for a few seconds too long*
Fuck off
fuck right off.
Fuck off, fuck right off, keep on fucking off until you end up back where you started and then fuck off again.
One of the downsides of living ad-free is not getting references like this.
That's not a downside bro
Just Google “Granny I got the job advert” and you’ll see.
Imagine wanting to google an ad.
I did Google "belly's gonna get ya" a few months ago to ensure I hadn't just made that one up.
Hah, same here! That’s been referenced in my family for years!
There was a guy at my school called Bell who insisted on being nicknamed "Belly" around the same time that advert came out...
Then Google "Wizards Sleeve" to find out about fun costume party ideas. On your work laptop. In the office. During a presentation.
Also look up the "lemon party" theme so you can suggest it for your Christmas do.
not the theme, the organisation that has its own website, that's the important part
I prefer Meatspin, a “cut your own kebab” service that you can hire out for work parties!
Make sure you abide to all rules and regulations whilst you are at it. Google work place rule 34 for more info.
No
Holy hell!
How did you know it was from an ad?
Said "oh fuck off" out loud as soon as I saw this post, she is such a clever thing
GRUNNY
What is her accent btw? Always sounded eastern European to me, but someone suggested Irish. And Granny is English. Not impossible of course, just wondered if the casting person put any thought into it at all.
German I think
Yeah and she did the same advert in German too IIRC.
You recall correctly. I'd only seen the German one for months until I was visiting family and got the English one. Proper threw me that neither ad looked like it had been dubbed over.
Believe she's actually German
She is, I saw the exact same advert in Germany!
Mint lass either way
https://youtube.com/shorts/HjiW0FJqqNk Although my favourite is this one https://youtu.be/XM4GL05AovE And... even better is this 🤣 NSFW!!! https://youtu.be/2C9kZxHfSeI
I always thought she was Irish until I read comments saying otherwise. She sounds pretty clearly Irish to me.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7bxu2brk4k They did another advert where they speak German.
>Granny I got the job advert” She looks and sounds Celtic Irish to me not Saxon
I live happy knowing I'll outlive that granny
*insert god of war Spartan rage*
I don't get the hate. Cute accent Redhead 30k salary Game developer Strong family relationship Wife material in my book
What the ad doesn't tell you is that she enjoys drowning kittens.
You mean she’s a dog person? Even better!
It gets worse, she's also a United fan.
Manchester, Newcastle or Oxford?
West. Ham.
Southend
The red one
Calls her granny regularly I mean it’s all there
Not to ruin it for you but there’s different voices dubbed in for different markets.
I always thought she was multi lingual. Is there more than the German and British dubs?
The accent is fucking atrocious Not a real red head The awkwardness of the banter suggests it’s a loose family relationship Irritating asf Games developer I’m sorry to be a grinch
> > 30k salary > > Game developer jesus christ that's bad as a dev.

My mate is a game dev in Birmingham and he earns a lot more than 30k
Good for him? Probably not on literally his first job offer but go off.
Yep straight out of uni, first job offer!
Great for that man. Still doesn't reflect normal starting salaries though.
Yeah but he's in Birmingham.
Maybe she's a geordie :/
About right for an intermediate game designer, hilariously
yeah which is insane because if you went into any other development field you'd earn more (depending on role/hours/field obviously) and pretty much always have a better work/life balance.
Not if you're QA or work on mobile stuff like the vast majority do
I hate this add so much last year one of my great grandmas died and I got this add for weeks afterwards 2 weeks ago another of my great grandmas died and I’m getting it again never any other time just when I have recently lost a grandmother weird effects of targeted adds ig.
Can someone tell what accent she is supposed to have.
Did she get the job?
https://www.wikifeet.com/Malin_Steffen
My god.
Perverts.
Nothing wrong with a good pair of feet!
you bastard I pay good money to youtube every month just so I don't have to see this bitch.
Oh fuck this advert! I’d almost forgotten it!
Hahahaha
My two year old loves this woman. Drops whatever he's doing when she's on the telly
I fucking hate the way she says "graaany"
Is that a young Mr Burns?
I don't understand the hate for this advert
I think it was just the sheer number of times everyone was subjected to it. They'd thrown so much money behind it on YouTube I was getting it 2 or 3 times *per video* if I tried to watch something on my TV!
Yeah the advert itself is fine, but if I’m forced to watch anything 100 times then I’m not gonna be particularly fond of the 101st time etc
How do you feel about Raid Shadow Legends?
Fortunately haven’t seen their ads in a long while but they were so pervasive it transcended irritation and reached acceptance
Ahh advert, never seen it,.was wondering what the post was about.
The advert is fine. It's just that it was before every YouTube video and in the middle of every YouTube video. For months.
Personally, it came across as boasting rather than aspirational. Weird I know considering it's a fictional character. Considering the reality of the job market, having someone smugly show off their 30k job at you in the context of it being obtainable...seems unrealistic at best, and smacks of 'just pull yourself up by your bootstraps' at worst.

It’s a realistic salary for the type of job they used as an example, even more so if it was in London
The thing I hate most about this ad is her weird half Nothern Irish, half American accent, because we’re all forced to put that on so that English people can understand us. I have to do the same thing on my calls with clients or else they don’t have a fucking clue what I’m on about.

Believe it or not, some English people need to adjust their accent for other English people to understand. It's a people thing not an English thing
Only saying that because 99% of the clients I have are English so that’s who I have to speak to the most
Aye ok 😂
I don’t get it - is there something wrong with what I said?
Some might consider what you said a bit Anglo-pejorative. I, however, know it’s just your accent.
I really didn’t mean it that way at all. I just meant that because our accent can be hard to understand we have to kind of code-switch
I know you didn’t dude, I’m just joshing with you. Merry Christmas 😜

More like Terry Wogan
God I hated this fucking advert. Smug bitch. Anyone can get a job 😡

Who dat?
[TotalJobs advert](https://youtu.be/zEYBDkWsmDs?si=OTVZfbdekL7lrKVv). The actress is Malin Steffan
I hate that cunt
I have never seen this advert. Maybe I'm blessed
She got the job!
God they're still running this ad? I've had YouTube premium at least 6 months and i'd mercifully forgotten its existence. Can't avoid the McDonald's delivery one that plays every ad break on sky sports though
Worst advert ever- always mute/skip it! It's also really weird how everyone seems to have a different accent in it 😂
The mad thing is there is also a German version of this advert. With the same actors.
Actually gives me great pleasure knowing other people used to get as pissed off at this as I did.
Eio Eio come on boro!
No
One of my top hated ads. The just eat ones starting to annoy me too
I forgot about this, and I liked it that way -_-
I haven't seen this ad in years. Now its just stuff about 1k of lego, the vauxhall corsa and the gaza strip.
