Good to see Boston Pizza is winning worst new commercial for the playoffs so far. I imagine that god awful wings commercial will be hard to top.

[Table 5]

That titnozzle "Audi Generation" radio ad that plays up to every corporate-climbing whore stereotype of the brand's buyers. On one hand, they are probably reaching their audience, but can you at least pretend like your customers aren't all Patrick Bateman wannabes who buy crap just for the name?

It's not that I can't stand these commercials, I just don't get why they would show so many tractor / seed commercials during playoffs on CBC. Do farmers and ranchers really have that much choice in their product that these ads are needed? How big is the target demographic too? I don't doubt they'd be watching hockey, but is there that many to justify it?

I can totally imagine Farmers going "WHOOOOOOO, GROUP 27 BABY. THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT" now when they're spraying their fields.

I've come to really like that commercial because it's so absurd.

Any and all Flaman man commercials.

Agreed. I think that this idiot should see the business end of a flame thrower.

"Kids eat free! It's a wonderful thing! La laaa, la la la LAH la, East Side Mario's Eh Bada Boom Bada Bing!"


There is nothing worse than that commercial.

Not that I particularly hate the whole commercial but in the Can-Am Spyder Roadster (the double front wheel motorbike) commercial where they pull up in front of a bar next to the presumably hard-core bikers. The one biker walks around it nodding his approval while taking off his gloves.

Yeah. Not so much.

The new Depends commercials where they ask celebrities to try on their product "for charity". How can wearing adult diapers benefit charity in any way?

So horrible.

[OutOfTheCube]

There's a Ford F-150 commercial where the guys goes "Nobody compare themselves to the guys in second, or the guys in fifth..." then goes on about how the F-150 is best in class this and that and the other thing.

Comparing yourself to the guys in second and fifth is exactly what you're doing! And you just said nobody does it literally a second earlier! AGH.

I bet PJ Stock gets teased a lot about this commercial.

Also I am getting really tired of the Lube X one talking about how they like the way the oil lubricates your engine.

Agree, I love that commercial but only because it's so off base.

I have a hard time believing it's speaking to it's audience though.

On the other hand, they've been using it for a few years now, so...

I hate that commercial so much. I drive an Audi, and when I hear it, I feel like a ######bag. The brand has moved so far away from it's value german driving experience past in both price and attitude

This thing makes me want to Elvis my TV every time it comes on.
I'd rather chew aluminum foil and jam a pen in my ear.

that Klondike bar listening to your wife commercial. it's on EVERY SINGLE BREAK during the games, on both CBC and TSN. i have to reach for the remote to change the channel as soon as a game goes to break because i know it'll be the first commercial shown

[Superflyer]

Not that I really hate it but the Febreeze commercials where they blindfold someone and take them into a dirty place. Do they really expect us to think this is real?

"Excuse me miss, do you mind if we blindfold you then walk you into this old building over here? We are going to get you to sit on a couch while videotaping the entire thing to get your reaction when you take your blindfold off."
"Sure what can go wrong!"

[4X4]

Anyone else find that Subway commercial with the guy and the monkey jogging creepy? I don't know what it is, but that commercial just bugs me. The guy looks like an ex con. Probably a pedophile or something.

[ricosuave]

^ he looks like Tony from Seinfeld, when George and Kramer went rock climbing with him, told george to 'step off'

[Methanolic]

FedEx

It seems this "clever" commercial is in heavy rotation lately and it's beyond annoying! Especially the end when the multi-talented boss is playing chess whilst giving himself a tat......"checkmate Sergei...Chowaaaa Chuuuung"

FedEff off!
