I can't stand it when she says "man-a-facturing".

How the director let that one go through is beyond me.

I die inside a little bit each time I hear it.

I can't stand the sportsnet ad for that Dodge Ram contest, where the lady's voice comes on saying "milk, eggs....."

How does one even pronounce eggs the way she does it?

"Milk, iiiigs"

Like WTF?

Every single ad during the Brier is terrible. I swear they're still using the same AMJ Campbell spot from 10 years ago.

The worst though is the Tim Horton's "roll up the rim" one, just because it's on constantly.

Creepy.
The bride is hot. What can you do?

I would like to know if the tux the groom is wearing is actually the "$99 Special" they offer though. I bet it's the most expensive one. False advertising!

Honda Civic, guy and his buddy driving on country roads, hits a certain mileage on a tank of gas, and starts going Whoooop, whooop, and then demands his buddy answers him in kind, with a whooop.

What's with the all whiny VW drivers commenting on the video? They have a inferiority complex? Feel looked down at constantly for driving a VW? I can't tell.

Couple of radio ones.

1. The Ford truck commercial that sounds like Sam Elliot saying something like, "If you have to ask how much it weighs, it's too heavy for you to tow..."

Pretty stupid thing to say. If you are going to tow something, especially something heavy, finding out how much it weighs first seems like it would be some time well spent.

2. The Little Caesar's $5 Hot 'n Ready Pizza commercial with the girl who is comparing to frozen supermarket pizza and says, "..and when I say it's frozen...I mean it's FRROZZEENNN!"

What else would you possibly mean? Frozen is frozen right?

You find it strange to emphasize the point they're making? It's not that bad of a commercial.

I'd rather that one than Dr. Don and Ian Miller of Arbour Lake Dental Care's sedation dentistry that I've been hearing the last 5+ years.

The latest Audi radio commercials.

"You pull up to the meeting an hour early, ready to blow corporate away". (BARF) Like you're a freaking business tycoon just because you drive an Audi. If you're driving a specific car in order to look the part, you're nowhere near tycoon status.

I've always LOVED Audi, but since they're now courting the doosh market, I think I'll pass.

I do find it strange and mostly annoying that such dramatic emphasis would be applied to to a term that has no alternative definition and by doing so, takes away from the main focus of cheap, hot and fast pizzas and puts it on the assumed misinterpretation of the word "frozen".

And by the way, when I say annoying, I mean, AAHHNOYYYYINGGGG!

Whenever I hear that commercial I think of the Seinfeld where Jery wakes up from his dentist appointment with Watley and his shirt is untucked. Makes me kinda chuckle.

Why do cell phone commercials say you can get a phone for zero dollars? Why not free, or no cost or something else. The way that they all say zero dollars says to me that there is a reason but I cannot figure it out. Either way it bugs me, just the wording of it.

This is kind of weird.
I'm watching poker on TheScore and the commercials come on, they are

Teeth whitening( don't drink coffee, wine, blah blah, I've got it)
Herbal Essence shampoo
Behr Paint
Mr. Clean Magic Eraser Kitchen scrubber.

I thought I had maybe sat on the remote and it somehow switched to WTN or HGTV, but no it was still on TheScore. I don't know what demographic they think they are reaching, but I would guess < 1% of TheScores, viewership thinks about Herbal Essence Shampoo.

I'm officially sick of the style of heavy, sans-serif or slab-serif type being thrown on the screen with every word that the announcer says . Ford of course was the first advertiser to use this heavily, and then some pizza company (panago, maybe?) followed, and in the last couple days I've seen a financial services company use this effect, and then just now, a crop management (either herbicide or pesticide) commercial do it (just one slot before another Ford commercial). By the way, it's wasn't even an original style by Ford; this style of kinetic animation has been around for years...

Ya, the crop commercial is just brutal and makes me roll my eyes.

Now everyone is doing it since Ford did it with their trucks (and now everything else it seems).

That MILF in the new INTACT commercial jumps around too much for us to get a good close look.
