Right now its gotta be those ######ing Mazda commercials... I can't stand "ZOOM ZOOM" ARRRRRGGGG it seriously inspires rage with that crappy child.

Also the Mcdonald's "I'm loving it" commericals... they just plain suck. I don't want to hear bad "phat beats" and poorly synthisized voices combined with terrible music all to do with nothing most of the time.

I can't stand that CIBC commericial with Jarome. it is too cheesie and it always drives me nuts that he would be involved in a silly commericial like that.

Also that new tea commercial for Tim hortons. The chick is so annoying it drives me nuts.

Now both these commercials were constantly on CBC during the WC so now that it is over I might not mind them as much but right now I can't stand either.

Agree about Tim Hortons tea, and Mr. Wendys. Never really cared one way or another about the Mazda ones.

The whole Herbal Essences faux orgasm campaign is really dumb.

A Marca Bavaria--you just know that in Brazil, this has been branded as an authentic German beer--you can tell by the name. And now, here in Canada, it's marketed as being an authentic latin-american beer. So which is it? (A crappy combination of the two.) If you want to have a Brazillian beer that you want to market as being sexy and latin, change the name to A Marca Brazillia or something. Anyway, I don't object to the commercials as such, just that it's such an overall crappily conceived campaign idea. I list this commercial because any time I see it, I go into the above rant.

The diet coke commercial with the woman who has a tear in her pantyhose. Jeez, who goes to a high-powered board meeting with a can of diet coke? I'm firmly in the 'coke' camp, but when it comes to marketing campaigns, diet pepsi (with the 'is there anything else youthful you'd like to experience' ads) are way ahead of diet coke. The new 'C2' ads suck, too.

While both Coke and Pepsi are colas they each have a different citrus element.

Coke's citrus component is orange while Pepsi's is lime.

Commercials that suck:

Mr. Wendy's - If I was a fast food company I doubt I'd want to be associated with the image of an obsessed fan who looks like he's trying to start a cult.
Any Air Canada commercial - I guess they assume that everyone will forget about their crappy service and giggle along with the advertisment.
Mazda Zoom, Zoom - That kid makes me want to get out the paddle.
Subway - The next time I see Jared I'm going to kick his ass.
McDonald's - Your commercials suck and your food is worse. Why not just run ads that say "McDiarrhea inducer?"
Any commercial shown on Access after midnight - Nobody is interested in buying music compilations being hawked by the guy with the horrible 80's sweater sitting in front of a fireplace.

If you think the Mr. Wendy's ads are bad, I was in the States for the long weekend. On the radio they have 1 minute long ads where he is reading Wendy's related poetry.

I also have to go with the Canadian Tire ads currently. Yah if I had 50bizzillion dollars and a lot of free time. I would already own a power washer and everyother power tool know to man. And I would also change my own brake pads.

The clown on the Fountain Tire commercials annoyes the hell out of me.

I wish he and the Wendy's guy would have a fight to the death that ended in a tie.

The one where these guys get on their ATV's to "rescue" the guy in the other ATV.. When they get there, buddy gives 1 dog a ride back while the other p*sses on the dudes wheel???? I get the concept, sort of, but just brutal..

I like Wendy's too except i can't see why they have such terrible commercials. I also don't understand how McDonalds stay in business with their piece of crap menu.
