I always thought the guy in that commercial looked like Luongo, maybe that is why you cried.

That frickin Corona ad they play with the phone message some d-bag on the beach drinking his ice cold Corona. He is not sorry he missed your call and will be returning his messages never. I'd like to jam the Corona bottle down his throat until the lime is sticking out the back of his neck.

Great plan by the government, but the radio ad alone makes me hate it:

+1 for the credit card ad voiced by the saddest asshat on the planet!

The FAN has another ad that is so annoying I've never got past the first 3 seconds to find out what company it is that I want to boycott! It's done in Auto Tune, hence why i shut it off, anyone know?

I think it's the Burger King Flaming Whopper commercial. I hate that commercial as well.

With commercials like this, it's no wonder Burger King keeps shutting down locations...

Those Rickards commercials are just terrible. The way they all talk about things in peoples' mouths sounds like they stole the script from a cheap porno.

The new Telus commercial with the Killers ripoff song.

I wonder if any musician/songwiter has ever sued for the many blatent ripoffs. So many commercial songs use just a small bit of the hook or turn the melody around so it sounds eerily similar but not close enough.

The Dynamic Investing commercials that were on tsn.ca videos for a while. The ones where they'd riff about culture and the tagline was "If we are this opinionated about _____, think of how opinionated we will be about investing."

First of all, the insights/observations were totally asinine. "Cotton Candy has no point." No **** Sherlock, it's candy.

Second, it's a terrible way to get people to invest with you when the economy is so unstable. A good investment fund commercial BSes people on competence and stability.

I have to say that I love the Sirius Radio commercial - the one with the woman singing about hating her drive until she gets satellite radio and now she loves her drive. I think I'm in love with her. I know this is about commercials you hate, but I have to say this.
