Commercials you can't stand!

[darockwilder]

This one isn't really a commercial, but it is advertising. Since the roads are all messed up right now I've been taking Sarcee to Glenmore to get to work. As you likely know there are some billboards along there and one I saw today was for Harley Davidson of Calgary. It has a picture of a motorbike and the tagline "Way quieter than anything waiting at home".

Super classy, eff the wife and kids and get on yer hawg! Those bikes are so fracking loud too. I guess efficiency isn't part of the Harley Davidson ethos.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned that commercial with a coach's pep talk to the Sprite bottle. That's just awful.

i'm finding the Okanagan Beer commercial makes me change channel quicker than anything else right now.
A load of old waffle with dramatic background music that has absolutely no meaning or point at all!

The Toyota radio spots with the "but it's my happy juice!" guy make me want to jab things into my eardrums... or change the station...

He's still company director but hopefully their strategic review included a new spokesperson.

I have to admit the first time I saw that Brut commercial where the dude puts the aftershave on his face and his super hot wife/girlfriend screams and comes back into the room pregnant saying "What the heck did you just do?" made me lol.

I am really hating on the Juicy Fruit commercials right now.

[Stay Golden]

Fibre commercials.

That radio commercial with the innocent-sounding guy to happy music "informing" us about how wireless rates in Canada are actually cheaper than the States. No. They're. ####ing. Not. It's practically embarassing.

EDIT: And I don't just mean where the money's divvied up, I don't care about some pie chart showing "well, technically...". All I care about is the $$ amount on my monthly bill. Which is way higher than the U.S. You're not fooling anyone.

Me too.

That is what commericals should strive towards. Simple, witty, not annoying.

And the woman is pretty hot as well.

The Spence Diamonds commercial on the radio where the guy says that something is pristine and the girl says "Pristine? Have you been reading the dictionary again Sean?".... seriously? If you're older than 8 years old, you know what pristine means. Makes me want to kick the bitch in the face.
