It’s a commercial for paint.

Welp. We're done for.

Stop the World. Locke wants off.

In a World where theres a land war in Eastern Europe and another in Israel, trade wars in North America with an Orange Goon in charge and considerable debate about the price of eggs...

Now ULINE advertises on the goddamned Radio?? Like their catalogues weren't bad enough??

I heard a Spence Diamonds commercial followed by a ULINE commercial and I seriously contemplated driving over a bridge into the river.

The "blooper" ads for Capital Direct (dot C A) are pretty terrible. I don't even understand why that would be a thing. Now if they had "bloopers" for the Spence ads I would be onboard. Fiona would start cursing a blue streak or something, the "whooo" guy starts coughing mid yelp. Hilarity.

Has anyone like Terry O’Reilly ever done a podcast about the Spence Diamonds ad campaigns?

Every commercial on the radio is either preceded by or followed by a Spence Diamonds commercial. I must've heard that same one 8 or 9 times in 25 minutes this morning, the one about "the long and the short of it, we're in this together" -- I finally flipped stations and it was the first ad on the next station too, I just shut the radio off entirely.

I get that Valentines week is probably a big one for jewelry stores but come on. At least have a couple different ones you send out for rotation, it's not like you're putting that much effort into these...

I will destroy ULINE if its the last thing I do. I took down Sports Illustrated and I'll take down ULINE.

The Cannabis Sense ads where that sleazy looking guy is asking if anyone wants some "extra Herb" are like a bad rash.

Where are you guys even seeing commercials? I have YouTube premium since my family listens to our music via YouTube music. All my other services are streaming. Don't listen to the radio. I just don't get where you'd even run into a commercial.

Podcasts have had live read commercials for a long while but recently the targeted and local commercial spots have been creeping in, based on where your IP is you can get Calgary market commercials.

There is no escape, only the skip forward button.

Spotlight on the employee - You mean this potato that was handed down by the gods themselves. This one that was sown in the garden of eden and harvested by only the greatest most worthy of gardeners then delivered on the wings of a Pegasus to this store just for you!!!!
Customer - OMG YES, YES, THAT ONE PRODUCE DADDY!!!!11!!

Holy crap! Sarah is back and I think Michael is going to propose. She sang too which was bizarre. Spence Diamonds still brings the fire.

Anyone else see that Dove commercial where they changed the lyrics to Khia's song My Neck My Back from "My #####, My Crack" to "My legs and pits, all that". I would love it if they kept the originial.


I do love the commercial for the Brick, of all places, that uses The Diodes' song I'm Tired of Waking up Tired. Classic Canadian Punk band.
