Like telling a guy to enjoy his premature ejaculation or impotence.

LOL!!

Scotiabank has overtaken McCain's as being king of the consistently brutal commercials. Such a lack of effort demands boycotting.

Terribly obvious what they're doing, but I don't mind.

Same with me, I like those commercials. Any commercial without dialog, and a hot girl doing simple, non-stupid things are good in my books.

The less annoying lines, the better!

F.U. icarus. I had McCains commercials repressed into the deep depths of my psyche until I read your post. Now I've got "crispy bite sized taters that have all the flavour" mocking me from within my own head.
As soon as a seat sale is advertised, I will be in Oz to kill you.

Disagree on this one.

Distracting me from her rack are her gut-reducing pantaloons. Makes me think she's probably got a cellulite-ridden spare tire squeezed away under there from too much microwaved crap.

Oh. And her friggen microwave makes the exact same sound mine does - so everytime this commercial's on in the other room I run to the kitchen to make sure nothing's on fire.

But once you are here your ire will be assuaged by the far less annoying Australian McCain's ads. "Ah McCain's, you've done it again!"

During game 3, RH_Flames_Fan and I were making friendly wagers on what commercial would come next, seeing as there are only about 15 of them in rotation.

-The Scotiabank nook people
-The Subway monkeys
-The Bud Light one with the credibility ticker
-The Home Depot guy talking to the orange box
-The cute chick from Home Hardware telling us about beauty tone flexrock
-The hot chick in that stupid car commercial at the airport who says "what is it?"
-Ron McLean visits Beijing
-"Social Life Accelerator" roller coaster Ford bullcrap
-Mark Messier bringing the Cup to my house
-Samsung spinning TV psychedelic waste of 30 seconds
-Cat avoids dogs in Kia van
-Couple humping while the dog tries to get out and the sprinkler floods the neighborhood
-Guy at Wendy's who gets the girl's phone number and uses it to wipe his mouth
-Overdubbed Party Poker one with the motorbikes/"my mom' joke

It's sad that I remember all those, and that we were actually betting about which stupid one was going to come up next.

Ire? IRE? You underestimate my all-consuming hatred for McCains commercials. McCains is at least 30% responsible for the fact that my television consumption is limited to Discovery Channel, hockey, whatever reruns are on channel 49 and TNG reruns on any channel.

This is the perfect excuse to head down under. I was going to fit it in to the Asia trip planned for next Feb., but dropping by early to take out a mortal enemy doesn't sound like a bad idea.

Locke and icarus. Two future victims of 4x4's "ire". The board will miss you guys. I wont.

Let us not forget that ######ed "hands up in the air" casino ad.

Or the rival casino ad featuring Joe Thornton's brother with neanderthal down's syndrome in the background who says "like that time at Fallsview Casino' and then makes an "o" face. Ridiculous.

Lol. I couldn't caption that commercial any better. That guy in the background looks like an idiot. And don't know if it was a joke or not, but I didn't know it was Thornton's brother?

[GirlySports]

I dont like those "SURPRISE" popcorn commercials either!

[GreenLantern]

Basically all Subway commercials are garbage.

The thing that bothers me about this commercial is that they have the microwave timer counting up. I know it's to show it only takes two minutes to cook but it drives me nuts!

There is some air freshning product commercial that came on the other night and a guy picks up his cat and smells it and then spays the air freshner into the air. Wouldn't bathing the cat be a better start??? Stupid...

[ken0042]

Speaking of air freshener, does anybody here really think Fabreeze smells good? Never mind good enough to make you want to sniff some more?

I know I use it to make things that smell like crap to smell less like crap. Hockey bag, garbage can, etc.

I can't imagine wanting the house to smell like that.

My cat smells like well-cured dope. Why would I want to smell chemical pine trees instead?

Further, cat's aren't usually stinky - they should have used a dog. I've smelled some dogs where I wasn't sure if the experience would leave my nasal passages permanently damaged.

Just saw another terrible one during Game 6

A Monistat commercial for treatment of yeast infections where they have talking bubbles coming out of girls' boxes.

I know what a yeast infection is; I don't want to picture them at the site of action

Haha, I just saw that one. Agree.... terrible.

My initial reaction: Are they allowed to do that?
