On the plus side, I love during the morning show how Boomer regularly gets chirped during WYWTA for all his commercials. He even seems slightly sensitive to it too, which just adds to the hilarity.

While we're on it, pretty much all radio commercials are extra obnoxious and in your face, in like a throwback 1950s shameless way. I'm sure the marketing team makes Steinberg be extra energetic for those, but they're still super annoying. Dial it back a shade.

Has anyone heard Sam Bennett's Dr. Seuss Audi commercial on the Fan yet? I hope he got paid a lot to make it!

The Cavendish farm commercial. The idea of getting a bunch of tone deaf farmers sing a song and then play it over and over is just so wrong. Worst commercial on TV right now.

"...turning Halloween, I think I'm turning Halloween, I really think so!"

Stupid Ford commercials on the radio are really starting to get annoying. I just don't understand how companies allow themselves to be advertised so crappily sometimes. The latest one where the guy's speech evolves from gooder to better or whateverTF, just makes me want to punch Ford in the throat. Have some standards. Hire better advertisers. And FO with the "beware of parts unknown" slogan.

Ford just seems to have the worst commercials ever. Remember that one with all the finger snapping?

Speaking of bad commercials though, those Liberty Mutual commercials where the idiots get into car accidents and then are gobsmacked that there are consequences, really grind my gears.

Apparently Im not the only one though:

Connor! It's Mess! Welcome to Alberta!

And no, I'm not going to your website, Rogers to see the rest of that lame-ass conversation.

Bet when you check the IP's of those who DID go watch the rest of that pile, 96% of them are from Edmonton.

Those stupid How does Hyundai do it!? commercials. I'll tell you how they do it, they copy the designs of other car manufacturers.

Every Save-On commercial over the past few months. Now this new one with the woman losing her poop over chicken wings? Please.

That CPA commercial with the woman who seems some kind of James Bond accountant who flies around in helicopters, does super important presentations, makes decisions on farming (?), and still finds time to get home in time to kiss her kids goodnight.

The 'P' is for professional.... I guess.

My favourite part is in the helicopter where she's points at something and emphatically says, "HERE!"

What the hell is she pointing at?

[Minnie]

I was just coming to post about that CPA commercial. It's ridiculous.

And double on the Messier/McDavid ' whoa - whoa - whooaa - whoa' stupidity.

And finally the DQ Bakes commercial. Shut.up.

The optimal location, obviously... We'd have to be 'Professionals' to understand.

"Let's do lunch Canada!"

No thank you. If I wanted charred,yet somehow still uncooked wraps, I would make them myself at home.

And it annoys me that they show us outtakes, as though we are all like, "I guess they are just real people like me! I should go and have lunch there." Stop trying Tim Hortons. Just stop.

What exactly had Rogers thinking that anyone outside the Edmonton area would be mildly interested in this idiotic McDavid meets Messier ad campaign?? Having to watch a 30 second unskippable spot (with the somber ambient music suggesting that everyone will be nostalgic for the good 'ol days of the Oilers) before the majority of youtube clips is beyond annoying.

[Minnie]

Jiffy Lube's new commercial, with the idiot kneeling in front of his vehicle, telling it facts, because 'his vehicle doesn't know anything.'

[Machiavelli]

Why is Buck Pierce in an insurance commercial? How is he still relevant?

as someone who lives in Edmonton, i'm still not interested.

Actually, i'm interested in just how much more pressure the franchise and the "glory day train" can put on the kid, and then to juxtapose that with how the Flames are handling Bennett. Night and day different.

Luckily I just saw this commercial on MNF so now I know what it's for. The Toyota scion commercial with the mob pillow fight that they drive all night to and from, so stupid.
