Nothing's worse than the milk commercial, where all the old dairy farmers are rapping...

Any commercial that gets too much airplay is unbearable (see: Telus) unless it is very funny.

Like that damn Telus commercial with all the goldfish that form different shapes. It was played relentlessly on SNET during Flames games in December.

ING (International Netherlands Group) is a Dutch company, if you didn't know.

Who? Who?

Listen, puss, if you don't have the stones to handle hot wings, you don't get to have any. Just eat the celery and leave the 'hot' wings to the real men.

I can't believe nobody's mentioned any Tim Hortons commercial. The people in those horrible ads make the Bundies look like rocket scientists. Ford commercials with Paul Brandt...now I know maybe I have to be completely ignorant, but until I saw the first Paul Brandt Ford commercial...I had never heard of him. Anything played on the fan is annoying, especially Calgary Job Shop and approved mortgage (that "Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees" commercial must've gotten complaints, as it lasted only 2 weeks).

I think the CRTC should get off their arses, and instead of making it illegal to watch the TV we want to watch, they should make sure commercials aren't annoying, and are quieter than the show they are played during.

You people think you know awful commercials? 3 words.

Canadian Tire Family.

Easily the worst ad campaign any company has undertaken ever.

Furthermore, as a personal beef against commercials, I hate when they play the same commercial back-to-back.

I didnt want to watch it the first time, twice is just adding insult to injury.

The real problem with the Subway commercial is that it gets stuck in your head. I HATE IT, HATE IT, HATE IT.... but 10 minutes later, just watchin' the game, I hear it going off in my head. UUGGGHHHH!!!!

The other one I hate is the chocolate bar hypnotist.

The "there is no such thing as accidents" one is the worst...where the girl in the kitchen dumps hot oil all over herself.

I dunno, the latest Telus spot with the dancing parrots is funny only for the weird line about pants. I giggle every time she says pants.

hehehe, pants.

-Dudes, don't normally talk about their hair
-when the scalp is happy, the hair is happy
-I guess they've upped their game.

Luckily I don't hang out in the same bars as that guy, or I'd punch him.

Or, "No play for Mr. Grey!"

I guess it just bugs me because there's a little bit of snow on the mountain myself.
