I haven't seen this yet, but I imagine it will be shoved down my throat ad nauseum until April.

Flames/Sportsnet - please get a new sponsor for your broadcasts. Ugh.

It is on the radio but you can picture this 40 something guy with the sideways hat and junk trying to be young.

Yeah, even the phsyics of the "crash" piss me off. I love how they have it sitting on it's roof like it was involved in a nasty, windy road rollover, yet it's just kind of sitting right in the road, after a big turn. Are you f-ing kidding me?

The Cottonelle "Back up your roll" commercials just annoy me. If someone spoke to me so patronizing about a freaking roll of toilet paper, I'd punch them in the face. I keep thinking that the man saying "back it up, back it up" is actually saying under his breath "yeah, I'm going to back it up, yes, I mean back my car up over your body".

Maclin Ford ads on the radio. It doesn't matter what the dialogue is, there is this stupid music bed that runs underneath that contains what sounds like clown horns being honked. Honk honk honk.

Not on TV or the radio but those terrible billboards around town for Universal Ford, with what I guess is supposed to be a mom and daughter with the creepy Joker-esque smiles shaped like a U.

Every time I drive by one I hear Heath Ledger's voice in my head saying "Wanna know how I got these scars?".

Every single Joe Fresh commercial. Holy crap.



From this past Christmas, but they're still airing the same style. What the hell? Stick-thin women and androgynous "men" with foot-wide jaws standing around trying to look cool and doing Zoolander faces at the camera. ####ing genius. You've succeeded in making me want to beat up a bunch of anorexic models.

Funny story, I was ranting to my mom about how utterly stupid these commercials are and she wasn't really saying anything but was giving me kind of a weird look. When I finished, she told me that her good friend's daughter, who lives out east, is the director of marketing for Joe Fresh. I told her that changed nothing.

You should get the daughter's name and then complain.

The new TD one with the old guys, they are usually bad but the new one with a "mortgage vacation" is brutal. The way the old guy stands up and says "I'm taking a bill vacation" and everyone laughs like it is funny or something. I hate laugh tracks and this is like one, just bad.

The whole "Joe Fresh" concept baffles me.

Produce all the slick commercials you want, you still sell your clothing line in a supermarket. I don't care how great your advertising is (which it isn't), when I start buying my clothes at the same time as my groceries, I'll know I have officially given up.
