Pizza Hut commercial with the dad asking a bunch of questions and getting short 'Yes' responses from his loser 30-something son sitting at home with a bunch of loser friends. What is the situation here? Why are there like five people on one couch? What are they watching that is so engrossing and important? Why do all the people look way too old to be in that situation?

They could've made it with a bunch of teens sitting there playing video games or something and it'd be a perfectly normal ad. The way they ended up going is baffling.

More truthfully it would go like this:

(picture of truck guy)
"What kind of pet would this man own?"

"Oh, maybe a poorly trained Rottweiler or pit bull."
"A snake, in the mistaken impression it makes him seem edgy?"
"He probably isn't allowed to own pets due to a restraining order."

Pretty sure it is MacDonalds and people are eating chicken wraps. There's one girl on a bus eating one and gives the girl beside her a strange look because she's looking at her.
I'd think eating a chicken wrap or pretty much anything besides gum on a bus, is rude, and I'd probably punch her in the face for doing it plus the stupid look she gives her.

I hate the Apple watch commercials. I think I've seen three variations of the watch commercial and I can't stand any of them. I just feel they are so smug and fake and they are a minute long instead of the usual 30 seconds. FU Apple.

I hate Emmerson Brando commercials, but at least there could be a silver lining... Turns out the guy is as greasy as he looks.

These new Petsmart commercials are so terrible. People in the store then at the end try to make a funny joke. If people like this are at the store then I want to stay away.
Mitsy has a sensitive stomach.....CAN YOU SMELL IT???
Or the one where they are just talking to the person working there and the guy goes "We've been having problems in our relationship" How the hell does that come up when talking about dog food?

The issue is skirted by agency rules. Agents can represent people in Provincial Court (although are restricted if not flat out barred in QB)

The biggest issue with agents (and self-reps, generally) is that they fall outside the law society rules. I have dealt with some pretty nasty people who, if were lawyers, would be sanctioned so damn fast but cannot be.

This. Not to mention the dude is in a sweat stained shirt, looks like he was working like a dog in the sun all day, but she looks like she was inside enjoying the AC all day.

Anyways, the 20th Anniversary McFlurry ad makes me want to punch small children. That song is absolutely unbearable

Thanks. He seems to imply he can give legal advice though. He is shown standing in front of legal books.

Bo Levi Mitchell for Varsity Chrysler.

Is he calling to do his spot from a mine?

New Horizons has a better connection.

My new hated commercials are a new genre. This one is where they show a picture and\or a sound instead of using words. The ones that annoy me right now are save on foods with the guy going Don't you hate it when people are, insert picture of snail. They make you so, insert clip of yelling person etc
Also this goes to Mitsubishi (I think) with their This is what it looks like, this is what it feels like, this is what you save, this is .......... blah blah blah.

GMC trucks feat. Eminence Front by The Who. Does GM seriously not understand the irony of the lyric? Or maybe the ad agency are laughing their asses off?

And Pete Townsend is a whore.
