Bloody aggravating, especially when it's done over and over again during a game.

Is George Foreman really the first person inventors look to for advice?

What is going on in that Orkin commercial? I've tried to figure it out but it's beyond my comprehension. The 2 kids found some termites on a log so they threw it in the pool and are now doing log rolling with it, even though there is a pile of logs beside the house?
Then the sweat pants wearing mother yells some log rolling jargon at them? Wtf? I don't understand what she's saying.

WTF, indeed.

I had to look this up because your description sounds like something you hallucinated in a fever dream and couldn't possibly be a real thing.

Lo and behold...




If I understand the premise, they're saying that Orkin uses "science" to not only kill pests that are in your house, but also prevent new pests from coming in.

I believe it's supposed to be a family of log rollers who use their pool for practicing log rolling, and not swimming. See, that's funny because everyone knows pools are for swimming, not log rolling.

Their kids have a bunch of their "pool toys" piled up beside the house and they just saw a termite by the wood pile. The mom called Orkin to use their "science" to keep the termites away.

At the end, I think the mom is saying "She's bobbing the log. You know what I mean? You bob that log, Candace!"



The unanswered question, of course, is who is that commercial's target audience?

So this trainwreck is trending for being tonedeaf


also, makes me think of the SNL Cheetos thing from a few weeks ago.
"Hard cut. Cheetos."

Any, and all of Fan 960's ultra bombardment of commericals. Also their "this segment brought to you by...." every damn 5 minutes. Horrible.

If I hear "brought to you by South Street Burger" one more time...

OMG, I can't believe nobody has said anything about the damn milk commercial!!! "Guys, it doesn't get any better than this"

It was mildly humourous once and that was because it seemed like a beer commercial. Now it is overly cheesy and played EVERY commercial break during hockey games!!

The way that woman says "burger" has been driving me crazy for months.

How about the milk one where they fistbump and it makes that checkout beep sound? That one goes on for way to long.

I never knew it was about milk until recently. Just thought it was a beer commercial and never paid attention to the end.

That WWE commercial that's played every break on Sportsnet. It makes me want to hurl my tv into the sun. I think it's more of the terrible white trash 'heavy metal' song that makes my ears bleed.

I don't usually post commercials I hate but that JACK 96.6 commercial where the two dudes dress up for karaoke and start wrestling at the end is cringe worthy bad. How does something like that get signed off by anyone of authority?

Late to the party on this, but I saw it so much during March Madness is drove me nuts. Banker is creepy, but I'm totally on his side, because her math makes no sense. I'd really like them to show me their work on that.

Jeez this 403-dentist commercial on the radio is terrible. From the guy that starts with "HUUUUNNNNNYYYYYYY Timmy chipped his tooth" to the annoying in sync at the end "Guess we'll need Timmy". Cue the sitcom canned laugh track. It is all just so bad even for AM radio

This new Viagra commercial where the guy just can't have anything but Viagra. I suppose I get being happy that you're not going to have a limp noodle anymore, but I've never seen a man so happy to announce he's got a limp noodle to perfect strangers.
