Those Blue Buffalo commercials. The stupidest people with the most grating, annoying voices. Really?

Is it Michael j Fox doing the voiceover for those? Kinda sounds like him.


Yes, It's Fox.

Credit Karma commercials.

What is going on there? The commercials are slightly annoying, but you just know there is something weaselly happening and that's the worst part.

"Hi! We're going to provide you with a free service, because we are so nice. You just tell us all your financial information and we'll help you out!"

Sure.

The investment commercial where the woman calculates how much money the firm is making off of her retirement, and then the creepy, neon eyed banker tells her her numbers dont make sense, then the zoom in on her and she agrees that he's a crook. Slowly and quietly and awkwardly. I think I'd rather be lounging in Frasier's bathtub while he drops a spike in the toilet, than be in that room. The banker is clearly lizard people. Just look at his eyes. His forked tongue is about to poke out both of the chick's eyes at the same time!

There's another in this series of commercials with a dude with a beard. He gets all sentimental about investing not being a 'game' and that it's his families future. Cut to next commercial - Ford - same bearded actor wanting to frivolously spend thousands on a car with flames or something on it. Makes me laugh every time.

Speaking of lizard bankers there's an investment commercial, I want to say Assante, and the guy they show as the advisor is the greasiest looking guy ever.

It honestly looks like they intentionally used somebody that you wouldn't want to trust with your money. He's what a used car salesman would look like on SNL.

Giuseppe Pizza. If only because the little man jumping out of the pizza box is creepy. Or because the woman talking to him is clearly high on a boat load of hallucinogens. Or both.

I've seen that commercial exactly once and this is exactly what I thought hahah. Pretty greasy stubble coming in on him too. Not a very professional look. Maybe an owner or something?

That one car commercial with that annoying "Oh baby, be, be, be, oh, baby" song drives me nuts. Air a new commercial already or atleast get a new song.

Another terrible radio commercial is the Northstar Ford one on JackFM (and maybe other stations.) The guy is advertising a service special for "a hundred buck" which normally costs "3 hundy." Who talks like that?

I really hate those commercials where the kids re-enact historic goals. So annoying.

Car commercials are just the worst thing ever. That HEAR YE HEAR YE!! crap on 960 is getting so annoying, I have to mute the radio.

Marty Giles from Northstar ford is annoying A.F.

And all the Ford....Parts unknown... commercials need to DIAF.

I actually like that one. A lot better than the girl making that speech about hockey being the fifth season.

And what's worse is sometimes it's played more than once during a commercial break.

Thats a serious issue that hockey game productions have to work on, hell, I'd demand it if I were an advertiser.

You're paying for advertising, but just constant, droning repetition is awful. I dont want to buy your product, I want to light it on fire.
