Pakistani TV Ads - the gift that keeps giving

"Ye mitti baatein karti hai. Ab sari duniya mein baatein karti hai, Italian-technology ke saath. Master Tiles." Actor Shaan. 
"Aquafina. Pure. Clean. Refreshing." Mahira Khan selling water. Selling water by giving you the very definition of water. 
"Ab Fair and Lovely nikhar nahin de ga. HD glow de ga." Sajjal Ali selling racism. 
"Dettol sabaan 100 girasim ka khatma karta hai. "
"Saare bache absent kyun hain? Aaj al ke [bigray huay] girasim taqatvar ho gaye hain. " Pakistani scientists have discovered 100 different germs which all be vanquished by Dettol soap. 
"Faiza beauty soap. Transforms ugly girl into a beauty who parades on a stage and, men with turbans on their head lust over her." Faiza Beauty soap. 
Wasim Akram challenges housewives to buy his washing powder which will remove the worst stains. 
Pakistani TV ads are next level racist, sexist and propaganda bakwaas, devoid of intelligence, humour or creativity.
