Me too, I'm with you buddy. I don't know why I hate that commercial, but I do. I can't quite figure it out. Maybe it's the stereotypical Albertan lifestyle? Maybe it's the alternate storyline that the chick just wants to bang the stereotypical cowboy?I'm not sure what it is.

I don't mean to pile on Trivago guy, but augh - the Creep is strong in this one.

"Have you ever looked for a hotel online?"

More like like "Have you ever wanted to drive your thumbs into a man's eye-sockets and ask questions about his intentions later?"

New Orville Redenbacher popcorn spot. Half the theater gets popcorn and the other half doesnt? And the non popcorns dont like the movie as much? What a surprise. The host is annoying as fata too.

Hey, you can go tell the Wendy's girl how annoying her commercials are!

“@Country105_FM: We are hanging out with Wendy herself here at the Wendy's on Country Hills Blvd! Show your pretzel bun love #ABPretzelLove”

Commercials usually don't irritate me but this one has run it's course. SN plays this commercial 1000 times a day. Enough!

I can't stand the Mucho Burrito commercial with the screaming guy. I hate commercials that are louder and more high pitch than the other commercials .

There's an ad for some whisky where a guy clicks his fingers and is automatically changed into his underwear, then clicks again and appears in a suit. Can't stand him. The guy has the most punchable face.

Then, the other day I see a car ad showing a bunch of hipster types posing for a photo pretending that they're camping, and there, front and centre, making duck faces is the same knob.

Please don't tell me this guy is going to be in every Canadian ad from now on

I cant wait til "Wicked" leaves town and the commercials stop!

I have been getting good at changing the channel in the first few seconds to avoid the annoying lyrics above.

Trivago Guy To Get Much-Needed Makeover


http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/2014/08...n_5694478.html

"The man is seedily creased, grayly stubbled, distractingly beltless. He may be looking for a hotel after coming home at 3 a.m. to find that his wife changed the locks."

Well, it has not gone unnoticed. Trivago has launched an online campaign to give the Trivago Guy a new look. Users are invited to send pictures of themselves dressed as Trivago Guy. The winner gets a 5-day trip to Berlin, Germany, a chance to "re-style" the pitchman and attend the next commercial shoot.

Watch the video above to hear from Trivago Guy about his unexpected fame.
