Any Tim Horton's ad is overacted and simply annoying...but something my parents/anyone else who tuned into Corner Gas for their comedic enjoyment, finds funny each time.

Tim Hortons ads are so awful. And it's weird because the American ones I've seen seems better. That's for all commercials though..

Why do Canadian commercials suck so much and are so awful compare to the ones south of the border? Do they think Canadians like people acting stupid and looking like complete fools doing it?

OK, this Kia City ad I keep hearing on the radio is just ridiculous.

"I got my Kee-A, at Kee-A city"

The stupid bleep-boop music isn't helping it either.

A friend of mine from New Jersey was visiting in December and remarked at how much better our commercials were than the ones she sees in the US, and I have to agree. Many times I can't believe how bland or uninteresting the US commercials can be. There are a few standouts in the US for sure, but she compared Bud Light commercials as one she thought was better done/funnier here.

That stupid vacation commercial where the office chick looks at her clock, it's 4:30, then she looks outside and it's pitch black, she starts crying but it's obviously fake, then she looks at her computer screen and it's a vacations website and suddenly she gasps, then fakes an orgasm.

I am conflicted about the 'Pete the Plumber' ads. While I've had enough of the toilet demo ("Even uncle Artie can't do this..!") I could watch the shower stall demos all day.

The Rogers, I think, commercial, where they're standing in line at a movie, and the girl asks to borrow her friends phone so she can update her facebook status. Really, you feel a need to change your status to standing in line at movie, wtf?

Lately I'm hating the one for the 4-month dryer bars. Amid much fanfare we're lead to believe that putting a 1.5 gram dryer sheet in dryer is toil and drudgery beyond the limits of human endurance and that FINALLY we can be free.

Sheesh.

The Aaron Acceptance radio add with the couple needing financial help to consolidate all their crushing debts. And there "may be, just maybe a little something left over for a vacation."

'Cause you're in a situation where you can really afford a vacation when you desperately need debt consolidation help.

any yoghurt commercial, particularly the ones that have some sort of culture that has been named regularis, or willmakeyoush*tis or whatever.

no one enjoys yogurt as much as the commercials say. no one.

This.

what gets me is this housewife proclaiming how busy she is, and by not having to put in a new dryer sheet everytime it manages to save her an unbelievable amount of time. i'd love to see what kind of procedure she uses in where it takes more than a second to put a dryer sheet in

Apparantly the whole line of Blizzard commercials suck, as the one with the family (same one as above) laying in the car and the parents are eating the kids blizzards and talking about how bad they are - it makes me want to vomit - or stab the mom in the forehead with a pitch fork.

Anyway, its a channel changer for me.

Or the one where the school girl hates jam sandwiches, always gets them, and would really love to have a ham sandwich. The mother; watching her daughter consider how to end this miserable existance says "I don't like all the preservatives."

Then bake a freakin' ham so your daughter can have a sandwich and not become all emo.
