The Chevy Traverse commercial with the minotaur and unicorn is the ultimate in dumb. Whoever green-lighted that needs the proverbial kick in the junk.

What the hell does any of that have to do with the vehicle? Is some big guy with an sword gonna jump out the driver-side door next and praise the built-in weapons holder?

I can't get that song out of my head. It's played all the flipping time too.

I really hate those mop commercials, where the mops send flowers and such to their old owners after having been thrown out.

No idea if this has been mentioned, but ANY Tim Horton's commercial makes me want to punch the TV/head.

Its fake "Ma & Pa wholesome family" bullsh*t absolutely makes me mad.

My most hated right now is that panago Christmas commercial. He's whistling along, but he's not whistling along with the the song being played over top of the commercial.... He's kind of going along with that song, but it drives me insane.. Plus I already hate those commercials anyways.

The MADD commercial with the girl who lies down and is covered by a sheet...it goes on and on and the song grates on my nerves. It is almost as bad as their crying baby one. I understand the point they are trying to make but do they have to be so annoying about it?

"We'll treat you and your tastebuds like roy-yal-ty at Royal India."

I can't stand those commercials.

In the Ramada commercial, I'd like to beat the crap out of those two fools celebrating on the mini-golf course.

They end the commercial with a kiss and more staring into each others eyes...I wanted to knock them both out.

Haha I can't say I've seen the commercial, but my mom absolutely begged me and my sisters to get that for her for her bday.

She just loves it too.

Gotta throw a vote in for the RBC commercial...

I want to chop down 3 trees for every one that bitch plants.

Joborule · 01-05-2009, 08:56 PM

It's been a while since I've hated a commercial due to a song being horrawful.

Finny61 · 01-05-2009, 09:18 PM

Yeah my three that have been gnawing at my skull are the RBC commercial, the Tim's commercial with the chunky girl yelling whose up for a timmy's run!!, and lastly the $1.39 coffee and muffin whisper commercial.

The only bright note is MacDOnalds commercial for the double cheeseburger with the two guys eating there to get away from their babies at home. Being in the same boat right now I gotta give props.

Wendy's ads are making me foam at the mouth lately. Why do the actors in the commercials only PRETEND to bite and chew? Why the fake biting, pretend chewing and faux swallowing? The two guys in the the "If loving bacon is a crime, then lock me up" spot only press their lips to the buns in some sort of gross parody of a chaste kiss delivered to a virgin burger; then proceed to flop their own tongues around in their mouths pretending to chew.

Its been going on for about a year now. But these two guys have pushed me over edge. That's it. I'm writing an angry letter to Wendy! I'm sorry I have to go that far, but I do.

Prob been mentioned:
IKEA
"Start the car, START THE CAR!"

I'd love to rip her voicebox out with some rusty pliers.

Got Miikka? · 01-12-2009, 08:08 PM

I don't know if they run this ad in Alberta but in Ontario there is a commercial for some chain of lame-ass casinos featuring a ######edly tubby man shirtless tattooing himself in front of the mirror and then his implausibly attractive wife comes in and gets distressed not by his awkwardly disgusting shirtless torso but the tattoo itself being done backwards.

It makes me gag and wonder "wtf" every time.

GreenTeaFrapp · 01-12-2009, 08:52 PM

I hate the bowflex commercial with the odd looking guy whose wife still gives him, "the wink every now and then".

CMPunk · 01-12-2009, 09:28 PM

The new BP's commercial for the $10 meals. I wanna line up that whole family and punch them in the face

can't remember, but is that the same cocky sum'bitch who ######-ily proclaims that he 'gave all his fat clothes to his fat friends'? (or soon to be ex-friends after they see how much of a dick he has become just because he roided up and pulled a few metal bands around)

Every time I see that I think in my mind he is obviously lying as he is obviously gay.

God damn, that "haha see, the baby is talking and acting like a grown up" routine was cute ONCE, and it already happened a couple of years ago, and has been repeated too many times. Every stupid marketing idiot that rehashes the idea needs to be shot in the face.
