Stan unveils first Rebel Wilson ads, but no mention of launch date
Streaming service Stan has unveiled its first TV ad featuring brand ambassador Rebel Wilson, but has not yet revealed when it will launch.
Last week the joint Nine Entertainment Co and Fairfax Media service unveiled a teaser ad as well as its pricing of $10 per month.
The new ‘behind the scenes’ style ad, created by AJF Partnership, sees Aussie actress Wilson performs a series of bizarre stunts including donning lycra to roller skate, dressing as a mermaid and having her headdress set alight.

Saw this over the weekend and thought it was hilarious. That said, can you say “sex pest” during daytime TV? And another thing – women touching or playing a didgeridoo is highly culturally insensitive to Aboriginal people. As a thought.
I’m not sure anyone who watches the ad will know what it’s for.
Agree Billy c…. what’s this ad for?
Is it possible this ad is meant to appear to be about to fall on its face throughout its entire running time in order to keep our attention and perhaps stick in our minds? Because I must have seen it a dozen times on during the cricket broadcast on Saturday and it had completely slipped my mind until just now – and the memory is not pleasant.
…typo…
I don’t get it?
The 2nd un-funniest aussie comedian, Rove, was unavailable?
Love. Love. Love it! Most entertaining ad on air.
I thought it was great.
JB – If you watch the commercial closely, she never touches the didgeridoo
@ JG… Not that it bothers me, but why even include that particular scene in the first place, really?It’s just unnecessary…
isn’t this just like the commbank ads from goodby? where they took the piss out of American film/ad people with the Australian acting uncomfortable?

I agree it’s like the commbank ads, and I feel that both suffer from a self reflexive indulgence, like an in-joke which is perhaps funnier for those working in advertising and marketing than those who don’t. I don’t work in advertising or marketing…
