The new Heineken commercial with John Turturro. Wtf is going on there. Your beer is a compass? The only direction booze has ever helped me find was the quickest way to the floor.

I can't stand the Royal Bank Olympic torch relay contest commercial. The fact that:
- A woman gets off a boat, passes the torch to a child
- They runs past nothing but empty shore until Toronto pops up
- Child passes the torch to a man and they all run past emptiness until a mountain and cabin pop up
- An individual plugs in a solar panel, receives the torch, and the group runs past nothing other than a few more mountains until Vancouver pops up
- A child receives the torch and lights the flame
I can understand that it may have cost a little more, but it would be nice if they could have put something else in the commercial other than simply Toronto, some mountains and a cabin, and Vancouver. It almost seems as if they are saying that there is noting in Canada other than shore, Toronto, some mountains with a single cabin, and Vancouver, with the rest of the expanse of the country simply being empty land.
I've seen a second version of the commercial that now includes the 'relay team' passing what looks like a grain elevator before reaching the mountains. If this supposed to represent a cross country journey, I think this may be even more insulting than only having TO, mountains and Vancouver in their stupid commerical.
The Royal bank one is annoying. I hope I don't have to listen to that song for the next year. I''ll nominate the McCain Mini Cake commercial with the french chef and the eskimo.
I swear they play that on Discovery Civilization every commercial break and it gets old very fast.
i'm also starting to get pretty tired of the anti smoking commercials. cigarettes were raised to $12, ppl still bought them. showing us commercials of ppl dancing on rotting teeth isn't giong to suddenly change my mind! just like the ridiculous pictures and slogans on the smoke packs aren't giong to change my mind!
although, i have to say the one where the older lady lifts up her dress and shows off her gannies is pretty damn funny, but, still. the intent behind it is f'ing ######ed.
Smoking rates have plummeted and plummeted consistently over the last several years- a reduction from 26% to 19% of adults in Alberta in the space of just nine years. That's miraculous and underlies a fact that addicts such as yourself want to ignore: Anti-smoking efforts WORK and nothing works more than a combination of (1) making smoking EXPENSIVE and (2) making smoking INCONVENIENT. Why you addicts are denying this trend is something you might want to discuss with your psychiatrists.
I like the song in the RBC ad but count me in as hating the TO-VAN emphasis.
I cannot stand the new Olympic add campaign on TSN/Sportsnet. This whole "We've never won a gold medal on Canadian soil" There is no other country in the world that would cut itself down in a lame attempt to try and pump everyone up. Am I supposed to feel sorry for Canada? Because quite frankly I'm embarrassed. Why do we have to portray ourselves as the pathetic losers who only now have a shot at some success. Where's our pride? our dignity? We are burning our flag in one hand and waving it with the other, makes me sick.

Your message is totally right but you come off as a pompous arsewipe with your labelling lol. Also I can't believe anyone could like the RBC commercial. I actually can't stand any Scotiabank commercial. "good time for a second opinion" ...I say "good time for a new slogan"!

it has nothing to do with denying it. it has to do with WANTING to quit. if ppl didn't know before that smoking can kill you or do all these other things and they needed stupid commercials or pictures to tell them that, then those are the ppl that will probably die of something else before smoking ever kills them.

This isn't a commercial, but just a station address type thing. Anybody who watches English soccer (and pays the absolutely ludicrous $15 a month for Setanta sports) will know what I mean. Between games when they show the schedule, the music that plays. I have trouble sleeping because of that channel.

No way! That smarmy look LL has at the end there, where he's nodding and smiling, reminds me of this buddy of mine (who has a rather high opinion of himself and his way with the ladies) and slays me every time.

The new Kleenex commercial with the baby in the bubble.
At first glance I thought it was kinda cute, until I realized all they're trying to do is baby everything up. The father is just a giant baby in glasses for goodness sakes.
The mom speaks worse than a baby... "New moe booboo for ewe." Next time I have a runny nose I'm gonna wipe it on the couch just to spite them.

The BK minis commercials are pretty lame. OMFG I'll totally get laid if I buy these nasty little burgers!!!
The commercial on the fan where the wife says something like "my hubby wubby with his belly welly". Someone seriously needs to be tortured to death for that monstrosity.
Any Kia Soul commercial. Nuff said.
Oh and I think there is a Toyota or Hyundai commercial that says it is a Smart purchase and then insinuates that you'll get laid if you buy one. That car with some BK mini burgers combined with Bud lite and chocolate Axe and I'm pretty sure your life will just turn into an orgy instantly.
