Speaking of commercials, does anyone have the old Mitsubishi one for the older style Eclipse where the girl is seat dancing to the "Days Go By" techno song? I'd love to have a copy of that right now.

I don't know if you get it up there but the Ford commercial with that gray-haired ******* that won American Idol is going to cause me to hurl my remote through the TV. What an ******* that guy is!

For all those people who hate commercials, and want to break your TV set when you're forced to watch them, I have one piece of advice:
Get TiVo. TiVo has changed my life. I don't remember the last time I watched a commercial--they all zoom by in super-speed!

I hate all of the A&W commercials with the fat guy as the employee. Firstly I have never seen anyone over the age of 17 behind the counter at one of those joints. Secondly he is always bringing people food and filling up their coffees, where is this full serve A&W i must be missing it! And finally the fat guy just annoys the hell out of me, he always looks so smug with that wry little grin.....dude you work at A&W and your 60, wipe that smile off your face!!

1. "Good Morning...good morning...." The stupid Viagra one with the girls dancing in the street. I hate that commercial more everyday! They played it nonstop during last years playoffs!!
2. I hate the Mastercard Zamboni one "...theres been an injury, you are going to the NHL"
My 2 cents!!

What about the Capital One Mastercard Commercial with the "hands in my pockets" song blaring in the background? Ha ha, I need that song as my new cell phone ring tone! I think that'd be hilarious cuz it would annoy the crap out of everyone!
But seriously, after listening to the Fan960 constantly at work, I'd have to say that the most annoying commercials are the radio ones. The ones currently on top of my list are:
1.) The Alarm Force Commercials with that Joe Matlin guy.
2.) The Herbal Weight Loss Commercials (that stupid song is like stuck in my head now)
3.) The Mattress one with that annoying old guy in it. I don't remember the name of the store (the Bedroom Shop? Or maybe Matress Depot, I forget)

Two commercials that drive me absolutely insane.
1) This Dodge one where a guy pulls up and it's like a drive-thru for buying a car. When at the end the chick says "Will that be in red, sir?" it just makes me want to shoot her for some reason.
2) Pretty much any Ford commercial, but the one that really ****es me off is the one where they talk about the word 'can't' and at the end it says "We have another word for those who refuse to say 'can't'" and it has a close up on the word Ford. It doesn't even make any sense!

There are no worse commercials out there than the Panago ones with the construction worker and the buffalo.
Okay, I saw what they were getting at last year with the construction worker. He likes the Philly cheese steak pizza so I understand the character type they were portraying.
Now, he's in a field talking to some buffalo and he's still wearing his construction hat! What's going to come falling out of the sky to hit him in the head out in that field??

The latest from Tim Horton's...with the Chili birthday celebration. Nothing says "Happy Birthday" like something that'll keep you in the bathroom and set off unpleasantries. I had the unfortunate experience of working with someone right after they had the chili...

The one I hate is that Molson Canadian one where they pretend to push out the truck its not annoying it just doesn’t make any sense, if he wanted to get unstuck why would he want to unload the cargo?!

I hate the current KFC campaign -- the one that features "Sweet Home Alabama" as the background music. Nothing says Kentucky Fried Chicken better than "Sweet Home Alabama".

OK, seeing as two people have now asked; the guy from Winnipeg will now explain.
When you get stuck in snow- not the type of snow we get in Calgary but the type that people from Saskatchewan and east gets, you have accumulations. New snow on top of old snow on top of older snow. As you spin your tires you end up cutting ruts into the snow into the deep layers. At that point having any extra weight is a bad thing, because now you are fighting gravity.
Weight in a vehicle helps you to not get stuck. Once you are stuck you need to get that weight out.

I hate the Rogers commercial with the two guys in the elevator, the one talking on his cell and the other caveman staring at him.
I just hate caveman's face. His eyes are freakishly spaced apart. I want to punch that face.
