Sirius XM Radio has atrocious ads on their news channels...ie CNN and MSNBC. It is as if they decided to put read aloud each and every spam email ever created. The worst is the Stuffies ad with the stupid kids singing their stupid jingle at least 4 times.

The ads haven't changed at all since 2008. If anything, they're even more annoying now than before.

That damn commercial at the start of every movie for like the past 2 years, where people are recounting scenes from their favorite movie. I chuckled slightly the first time, but geez...enough if that crap.
"...as Gandalf leads the charge against the Orc armies, he cries...you had me at hello."
I'd almost be ok with Cineplex raising ticket prices for a month so they could pay for a new freaking commercial.

I was at the gym the other day and caught the tail end of Tim Horton's ad that appeared to be showing some dude who'd been injured in an accident and was afraid to leave his house. His co-worker's employed the "White Fang" method to coax him out: leaving a Tim's coffee on a stool progressively further from his door.
Who are the dinks that Tim's pays for this crap? How does anyone get paid for that stuff?

The Telus guy needs to go away... The new "Ow, my face" commercial makes me want to punch him in the throat.

What is horrible is that the Primo pasta ads with Andrea Barnani are back on Raptors broadcasts. Yep, if you want defense as stiff as a cooked noodle, eat Primo before the game.

That commercial is a candidate for brutal commercials you would see on YouTube.
I want compensation from the City TV for forcing me to see that commercial since they're #######s and won't give me the American feed.

The Windows 8 commercial can die now. Probably been mentioned already. Sadly the song was starting to grow on me the first few times I heard it, now I want the artist and the commercial to be buried in the desert. Along with Windows 8. However that may be possible.

That idiotic YOP commercial. It sucked 15 years ago when it first came out and it sucks worse in 2012. People sleep singing on the toilet about yogurt - super facking inspired advertising.

haven't heard this one enough times to type it word for word, but it's another lame radio ad that goes something like "we supply you with snowboards...we're not your supplier of porn...actually, yes we are, because to us snowboards are like porn."
what? I get what they're trying to say I guess, but who wrote that up and thought that was amusing or clever? I like squash, but I don't walk into Racquet Central and look at a new Black Knight racquet and think to myself "wow, this thing reminds me of a good snuff film...gotta have it."
put some effort into your ads dammit, especially when it's radio and you're relying exclusively on dialogue.

The non-stop Wendy's commercials during commercial breaks on CFL on TSN. I know they're a sponsor, but Jesus Christ. Enough already!!

That god damn "Lebron's Day" commercial that plays on youtube ads and on TV constantly. We get it, he finally got his ring. Don't need to shove it down out throats 24/7.

The Old Navy commercials are generally bad enough, but the new one with George Takei is especially annoying.
And I'm pretty sure the guy who is continually spitting out his 'coffee' has The Herp. Bad choice for an actor showing off his lips.
