Stupid commercials really annoy me. Heaven knows there are plenty of them, and even though I utilize my DVR as often as I can, sometimes they sneak through, like when I’m watching TV live (it happens) and have to either have to do what God intended for commercials and head to the bathroom, or pause it and wait it out.

One in particular that bugs me is the stupid Outback Steakhouse commercials with the annoyingly fake Australian accent. I was struck with the urge to know if this guy was really Australian, or an American doing a horridly bad Australian accent.

I did a Google search for “Who does the Outback Steakhouse commercials with the fake Australian accent” and got a lot of hits, with a lot of other people feeling the same way. No one is sure who does the current commercials, though I was amused to see that Kiwi Jemaine Clement was doing them up until 2006.
