Or car commercials that use loose terms to talk about fuel economy. Ford is bad for this; previously their actors saying "I haven't bought gas in a MONTH." Now on their commercials the are sending people on a road trip with the actors saying "We have gone so far and the fuel gauge is still almost full."
I'm surprised someone hasn't posted about this one yet, but I absolutely hate the Scotiabank commercial with the mascots. First, we just see it way too much and secondly, the waiter is just a complete tool.

But Fin The Whale has to pay! That's good!

What bothers me most is not that it's a stupid commercial, but that it doesn't have Harvey the Hound. The first mascot in the NHL, arguably one of it's most recognized, and mostly importantly, from the NHL team that you sponsor, doesn't get included? What the what?

I'm assuming that the Flames/Harvey said "no way" when they were approached about being in the ad. I can't see them wanting Harvey to be associated with anything other than the Flames.

That would be a silly reason. None of the other mascots seem to have this issue. Why would the Flames not want exposure? It's not like you would see Harvey, and start cheering for the Oilers.

Exactly, the commercial itself isn't that bad (though over time it does get tiresome), but the fact that they only have two Canadian mascots in the ad for a Canadian credit card is silly. I thought that if they had Harvey in the commercial, they could have had him do the fist pump at Finn's card being chosen and then Finn could have pulled out his tongue a la MacTavish.
There's one on the radio right now for Future Shop... about how they have the best prices and great sales, followed by "Get the new Xbox One for just 499.99! No rain checks!"
Gee thanks Future Shop, what a great sale, at the manufacturers suggested price that literally every other store is selling it at. Too bad I can't get a rain check!

Already made a post about Moxies and The Keg, but to add on to that, I hate ALL restaurant commercials. If your restaurant can't survive on word of mouth advertising alone, your food ####### sucks.
Those Spence commercials on the Fan960 drive me absolutely bonkers. I actually emailed them today announcing my lifetime ban of their store due to their annoying commercials. I assume somebody else has mentioned these POS commercials.

No, pretty sure you're the first.

There's an annoying radio commercial for the VW Tiguan where the guy asks the girl the name of the car and every time she says Tiguan he says Gesundheit.
Not only do I not know what a Tiguan is, how does that sound anything like a sneeze?
