Ironically this is one of the times where it would be better to use "one" I think because it sounds as though you are saying Grizzleb sometimes sees and hears that when you actually mean that people in general do.
Wouldn't that be something that the posh can't/don't say? I suppose a shibboleth loosely means a give-away (right?) but wasn't it a give-away because people from the one tribe were unable to pronounce it (and were duly slaughtered)? Nice example of an accent mattering quite a lot anyway."Well yeah, but using "one" as a pronoun is the most glaring shibboleth of poshness in the whole language - which is annoying, because it's actually really useful."
Well yeah, "should've" (short for "should HAVE") is fine, it's what I usually say, but you sometimes here* (and read) what is unambiguously "should OF" - as Rich says, it's not to do with being "posh" or not, it's just wrong.
Anyway, accents on TV are a funny thing. There's a definite "regional accent code":
Scottish: nothing implies good, Protestant honesty and trustworthiness like a nice well-spoken Scottish accent (I'm guessing it's generally a middle-class Edinburgh accent? sounds like the Scottish equivalent of RP, basically). It's especially handy on adverts for things that are good for your body or, better still, your soul - for heartstring-tugging earnestness, you can't beat a really serious, sober Scottish accent for the v/o for your charity ad featuring abused donkeys or malnourished African children.
Northern: Yorkshire/Northumbria accents (Scouse and Manc, not so much) are de rigeur if you want to imply friendly, salt-of-the-earth matiness. Channel 4 worked this out about ten years ago and have exclusively employed Geordies as their anouncers ever since (all the better to distinguish the channel from the stuffy old BBC, of course). This approach can be taken to a patronising extreme, as in for example Victoria Wood's nauseating "Ooh crikey, Grommit!" Yorkshire brogue used on the Asda ads recently.
Cockney/Essex: Is your advert intended to appeal to BLOKES and LADS???? Then this is the accent for you!
West Country: can be used to impart the flavour of orl fings aaagriculch'ral; very often put on ("Mummerset") and generally played for laughs.
Brummie/Midlands: rarely heard, but, like West Country, generally seen as a 'comedy' accent.
Irish: WELL BEGORRAH, IF OI'M NAT THE MOST LOIKABLE ACCENT IN DA WHOLE WOIDE WORLD! Used to generally excruciating effect to imply, like Scottish and Northern accents, friendliness, honesty etc. etc., though often with an added 'comedy' element. Often works best if spoken very rapidly in a high-pitched, excitable manner.
Joanna Lumley: car insurance.
*christ, I really am a spastic sometimes

Unless on a female, where it's used exclusively to make men cum. Or is that just me?
Leo - short answer is, yes there are people who talk pretty much like that although the girl in that advert has this weird up-talk thing going on in addition to the accent which renders everything she says as both a) more annoying and b) as if lacking confidence - which in itself makes it more annoying cos I bet she's super confident. I think of up-talk as being from California or possibly Australia originally but I think it spread to lots of US accents and then permeated the UK via things such as Friends. Horrible way to talk and if I catch myself doing it I feel bad.
are there people over there who really speak like this?: https://www.ispot.tv/ad/ozKU/away-luggage-job-offer (couldn't find it on YT)
between the accent and the copywriting, this currently holds #1 in my most-hated commercials. annoying in so many ways: the lifestyle, the privilege. I don't even know what the job is but find it annoying anyway. I like the dog but you know it's just a fashion accessory, and the fact that she has it situated just so in the new new apartment is fucking annoying.
btw, this luggage goes for $300-600 each.

i speak like this exactly. it's almost as if i'm hearing myself talking.
I highly doubt you'd say such annoying things.
I'm not convinced she's super posh. A wel adjusted and successful member of the middle classes but not royal family. Good university, works in consultancy? PR professional? Management role in a big firm? Not like us losers but that's not saying much
