This classic Australian ad is used in our Marketing and Business courses. The ultimate aim of every advertising guru is to get their creation into the common vernacular, and on that measure “Not Happy, Jan” may be the greatest success in Australian advertising history.
The catchphrase rapidly became part of everyday Australian conversation, and is still in use today. In fact, “Not Happy, Jan” has proven to have far more staying power than the weighty phone book it was created to spruik; it was even adopted for use in the “Not Happy, John” political campaign of 2004 – although John Howard still won.
The ad itself is actually a miniature comic masterpiece, with some utterly wonderful acting from Rhonda Doyle as the hapless Jan and Deborah Kennedy as her furious boss. Apparently “Not Happy, Jan” was actually made up by Kennedy herself on the day of shooting – the whole nation owes her a debt of thanks for a major contribution to our national dialect.
