I thought they were saying "I'll see you at Rexall." Who knows.

Crappy company. Crappy commercial.

I HATE the ATB commercial with the chick who accosts Gio - not only is it just a stupid commercial, it's identical to the Eberle commercial - couldn't they have thought of something different? I keep wishing that Gio will crosscheck her in the face and then grab his coffee during that part of the commercial.

The Fallsview Casino commercial that plays regularly during the WJHC makes me crazy. The screaming is so fricking annoying.

The one where the guy is scraping food off the casserole dish or whatever and the wife asks "what are you doing", and then gives that look and makes her head do the bobble head thing. I'd falcon punch her if she were my wife.

and any Tide commercial.

When I first saw this commercial, I liked it.

Now that I've seen it over 100 times it really annoying.

I know this is an older post, but on another forum I read that ATB pulled these commericals recently.

The new Expedia commercial - with the bearded guy pulling a Matthew McConaughey soliloquy talking about finding a beach paradise. It's been played multiple times an hour - hell, it played 3 times in one commercial break alone.

What I don't understand is what message are they trying to get across? The person working at ATB sounds extremely condescending when she walks into the bank, and gives a lame fist bump. What would have been better is if the ATB employee had also been talking with her co-workers the same way as the customer was, and then when the customer comes in describing a play have the employee finish her sentence.

That might have made the commercial bearable.

Same with that new one, I refuse to learn it's name but it's some different game. I'm sure it's not actually any longer than your average commercial but they seem to drag on soooooo long.

That Toyota commercial is terrible and makes all the guys look neutered. I guess they are trying to appeal to the women but why broadcast on a sports show where probably 75% of the viewers are guys. Sometimes I don't understand why they don't take into consideration their audience when showing these commercials.

It'd make more sense if she actually played the song that the kids were attempting.

And what the relationship with the guy with misfitting clothes, who isn't driving? Drunk brother? Co-worker? Cousin from Europe?

That part that irks me about him is the shot of him, arms crossed, smugly tapping of his foot in the background. Problem is, it's randomly; not in any unison/to any beat of her mashing away on the drum set, which is just as bad as the kid who didn't have rhythm in the first place on the drums.

Of course, the grin and the "I'm awesome" shoulder shrug as they pull away, in a car where Toyota looks to have run out of design $ and/or ideas when it got to the front end and instead just left a big black plastic gap and called it a day.

Toyota? I thought it was a Viagra commercial.

"Hm. Maybe if I get my wife this car, she'll be awesome at drums and be a condescending bitch to the neighborhood kids. Thanks Toyota!"
