So much for the theory of annoying commercials being effective.
Potato Thins, I think? It's soundly hated here as well, and the channel is flipped the second it comes on.

Yeah, and trying to make it emotional or meaningful or something. It has a tone that is usually reserved for funeral homes. It's a messed up jingle.

That commercial cracks me up. It's so unapologetically over the top. When it gets to parcore squirt, you know it's supposed to be dumb.

I don't mind dumb if it knows it's dumb. The worst, just like movies, is when it's horrible, but it thinks it's serious or good.

It's OK once or twice, but after that I can't stand it.

Honda Odyssey commercial where they are talking about remotely locking your car from a large distance.

Wow. Congrats. We’ve had car remotes for years now, that’s neat that you can make it cover a longer distance, like a multitude of other devices, but for the love of all things, don’t pretend like you’ve just built the first ####ing fire man has seen or invented the wheel. The amount of kudos they give themselves is just stupid.

I hate the Kronenberg 1664 commercial right now. I am not even French and I am greatly offended by the commercial, plus it is just annoying as crap.

NFL Fantasy commercial. A blonde woman is sitting on the shoulders of an Atlanta Falcons player. I can't make out one word that she says. Is she even speaking English?

The 'everyday stuntman/stuntwoman' commercials. 10 pounds of stupid in a 5 pound bag. Also, Tim Horton's new commercial with the 2 stupid women in the park.

Pretty much any Timmies commercial can be considered annoying. I almost wonder why they even bother to advertise considering how much market share they have, and with how crappy their commercials are.

Scotiabank Scene ads are annoying. How much is it today? Free. Wow, that's so exciting to watch somebody get free movie tickets for banking except they made an agreement to be on the annoying commercial.

Pretty much any Toyota commercial right now I can't stand. They're just plain annoying. I saw one for Country Hills Toyota the other night and it had the car talking with really bad CGI. It was so bad it made me shudder.

I expect I will have a lot of ammo for this thread once the regular season starts. Preemptive "Dammit, Telus"

All those freakin car commercials on TV AND radio that still play Bruno Mars 'Locked out of Heaven'.

My god, how I hate that song now! And it's actually not a bad song. Not in my wheelhouse, but I appreciated it when it came out. But wow, these car commercials have just beat it to death. Like dead horse death. Like dead for two months horse dead. Like...

I think Honda is one of the brands, but I actually think there are two brands doing it! Two brands, two modes of media, you can't escape it!
