The recent anti-Ignatieff commercials from the Conservatives are beyond stupid.

Imagine having your bandleader call that tune in front of a packed house having never seen the commercial? It was worse than having to play Mustang Sally for the millionth time.

Two recent radio ads are driving me crazy because the songs embed themselves in my head and don't go away for hours:
1) Bet 365
2) Viagra ("Good morning, good morning, to youuuuuuu..")

The "Canadian Economic Action Plan" commercials.
They don't actually tell you anything useful or relevant about the program, the Government or the country. They're nothing more than a fluff piece of advertising for the Government......and I got to pay for it YAY!

I hate the pharmaceutical ones, where you don't even know what they are for.
Guy - I did it.
friends - He did it
neighbors - He did it
family - He did it
announcer, - ask your doctor if X is right for you,
wtf.

I think it's backwards, they should tell you symptoms of certain illnesses in commercials and let the doctor decide what pill is right for you. Instead of just saying the name of the drug so many times it sticks.
Better than the US though. Are you depressed? Here's this pill and you'll feel all better. Tell your doctor you want this and you want it right ####ing now.

Discount Car Rental on the radio.
Why would "Gord" be jealous of your stupid rented truck?

OMG that one ladies voice is so much louder than any of the rest of the commercial, really annoying and leaves you scrambling for the remote.

The 'Wiserhood' ones.
Rubbing your hands on a painting to get kicked out of a museum is not uncompromising. Neither is tearing a hole in the sweater your wife gave you so you don't have to wear it. Both those guys are actually making compromises because they're pretending that they like something they don't.
Uncompromising is saying "I've had enough art. Take your time, enjoy your day, and if you want to meet up later, call me." Or saying, "This sweater doesn't really suit me. Let's take it back, and you can help me pick out something that I'd get more use out of."
It should be "welcome to the society of passive/aggressive wusses."

The Febreze commercial. I want to punch that dad who goes around huffing chairs, his kids shoes, bathmats, etc.

I love those ones! The sweater one with Gerry Dee, that was the funniest commercial at the time.

They are pretty bad. The wife and I were joking around with spoof commercial ideas and came up with this:

Has anyone noticed that in the most recent Harper ad, he stole a talking point from Nenshi? Something like "In Canada, it doesn't matter where you're from or who your parents are."

I wish I could find a link to it but the Harper ad showing him burn the midnight oil in his office for Canada writing up "paperwork". They should be showing these politicians on vacation since they are away from office more then actually in there working.
Yay cloud.

What makes it worse is that the same actress is on like five other commercials right now. One's a nicorettes commercial where it's not a speaking part, another is a cleaning commercial... once you start looking for her, she's everywhere.

The Moores Wedding tux rental ad - is it just me, or could the bride and groom pass as sister and brother?
