Subway commercial - the new smoked meat sub is "A new dimension in taste" a new dimension in taste? wtf?

Kind of I this vain is the KFC commercials where they still do it the hard way. You drop chicken in flour, shake it off and deep fry it, what the hell is the easier way? Skipping the flour step?

I hate any commercial that is filmed "in motion" or whatever the proper term is. A couple common ones right now are the Tim's Roll Up the Rim one where the lumberjack dude is walking through various scenes pointing out people that could win and another similar one is for the lottery (6/49 or Lotto Max.)

Any subway commercial is annoying because the sandwiches you get don't look anything like the ones they show in the commercials. To be fair that could be said for a lot of fast food places

That Navage nose cleaner commercial.

Had TSNGo on yesterday during the trade deadline show. That commercial had to be on at least 50 times

This is usally the case, but the other day I got a perfect, ad-worthy Big Mac from the new McDonalds on Country Hills. Tasted great too. If every McDonalds made a Big Mac that well, they'd have a better reputation.

Did you wear your toque over your eyes and guess what it was by smell while your friends watched in amazement.

any commercial that shows some middle aged men who look like accountants that get up and look super happy to go to work,,,,frying chicken. KFC and Swiss Chalet come to mind.

Also speaking of KFC, why would 5 car loads of people go get chicken and then park in the middle of a parking lot and look at the sky while eating chicken. Don't you fools know that stuff is greasy. You'll need to be near some soap and water when you eat it. Have fun getting the grease off of your steering wheel.

Just saw a new Trivago commercial and the guy has got a makeover.
Barely even recognizeable.

The Facebook commercials. I don't know what it is specifically about them but I hate them so much.

Rogers:

"I''m updating my Facebook from Lake Lousie!"

"I'm texting my wife while fishing at Chain Lakes"!

Horse Hockey.

I can't get a sniff of a signal at Sunshine or Lake Louise, despite Rogers banners everywhere.

The auto dealership (can't remember which one) with the Seinfeld-ish stand up comedy commercial that plays way too often on 660 News.

The Camry commercial when they guy abducts a girl from her wedding.
First off I don't get it, if she doesn't want to get married just leave, is she being held against her will? , but then the chase is on and everybody is in on keeping her against her will, and the 2 little dogs apparently know what going on so they block the road?

The worst is her laugh, I can't see anyone wanting to spend their life with her, and the laugh, and also the fact it is on way too often during hockey games.

Intact insurance,

why go through the bother of actually flooding a house or putting a car in a pool if you are just showing they will open a case in 1/2 hour?

Also like at the end of the flooded kitchen one where the guy on the phone hangs up on the ins. agent.

Also, this commercial is on way too many times during hockey games.

This one bugs me too. I'm not sure what the story is. Also, why are the guys chasing them in some kind of old-timey car? And if some ######bag showed up at the wedding and stole the bride, they'd probably just plow over his stupid dogs, chase him down, and beat the #### out of him.

I hate the underlying message, "hey you're a guy who drives a camry, but that doesn't mean you're a #####. you could steal the bride from those ######bag guys who don't have to drive camrys, they aren't more macho than you, just because you drive a car you don't want to drive. now drive this camry!"

just stupid
