I hate the Wendy's commercial with the "meat-atarian" guy. First of all, that's my old line from around 1985, and I stopped using it after I realized what a complete moron I sounded like; secondly, that chick is the uber-hot and if he actually said that, she wouldn't nod and let it slide, she'd stand up, toss her salad bowl into his face and march out of there; thirdly, you're EATING A DAMN BUN and last I checked that wasn't made of meat.

He has fries too.

Damn Wendy's hasn't had a decent ad campaign since Dave Thomas died.

I hate all campaign ads.

The most recent one where they leave in the intentional little speech slip-ups when Stephen Harper babbles on and on to show the "human" side that makes mistakes....ugh.

It's just too transparent.

Have you seen the ad with the centaur taking a shower? I think it's for after-shave, I'm not sure. It makes me uncomfortable for some reason.

That one girl in the "He went to jared's" commercial has one of the biggest mouths I have ever seen. I'm not talking metaphorically either, I mean anatomically.

I started a thread about this before. Is the girl in that commercial the same girl that is on "Billable hours". sure looks like her.

Also hate the febreeze ones where the family is smelling furniture and the air. Or the Grandma drops in and walks by the kids and smells the couch.

I've never seen "Billable Hours", but after looking at some stills from the series on the web I'd have to say you're probably right. The eyebrows especially are pretty distinctive.

While searching to see if the commercial's credits could be referenced, there were quite a few links leading to offended vegetarians. Apparently they don't like to be mocked...

You' re right about that Jared's commercial. Annoying. And the Febreze ..I really hate the one where they're crawling around sniffing the rug. Aaarfffff aaarrffff.. but I guess that's the point we all remember it.

Do people really like the smell of Febreze? I mean I use it on things like hockey gear; as the smell of it is better than sweat, and the smell of febreze goes away faster than the sweat smell.

Good question. And now they have it in so many different things like Mr. Clean as well as fabric softener and detergent. I didn't like the original scent too much but I noticed they came out with a lavender scent. I'm kinda partial to that lavender stuff. what else do they have it in..room spray, plug-ins, candles? My neighbor hates the stuff.

That is annoying Dion. I hated those Airborne commercials too..didn't they get sued ,or wasn't the company accused of making exaggerated claims or something?

ok, this commercial just aired on MNF and this bothers me to no end everytime I see it. It's the Canadian Tire one, for the foundation that helps kids play organizational sports. Young boy tries to get a job at the corner cafe. The message of the commercial is all good, but at the end the text says

"1 in 3 canadian familes cannot afford to enrol their kids in organized sports"

How do you screw up spelling like that and let the commercial run for years, surely I'm not the only one who has noticed this.

^ Simply an alternate spelling. That's actually how I would spell it.

It's ok... we understand... you live in Edmonton. It's time you moved, the city is rubbing off on you.

I too hate that commercial, not because of the spelling, but because the fat ass that runs that Diner is a condescending prick.

I'd hit him in the face with a shovel.

OK, new one last night that takes the cake. A family sitting around the dinner table singing about how "cheese brings us all together" with each member of the family getting their own solo.

Aired during the premier of Heroes. Absolutley BRUTAL commercial.
