1) Fountain Tire Ads - reasons already stated in the thread
2) TELUS animals - they drive me nuts
3) Apple "I'm a Mac ads" - We get it, Mac's are cooler than PC's. Hell, I am a Mac user. But holy crap they are beating a dead horse with those commercials.

I had a big long message typed here and then my stupid Safari browser by Apple crashed just trying to play a video on Youtube. Stupid Apple. Anyway, I was agreeing that they've beat this one into the ground and even the awesome John Hodgeman can't save them anymore.
But the Windows 7 "my idea" commercials just make me want to beat my head against a wall until grey matter is splattering everywhere. Particularly the one where the woman says that she wrote to Microsoft saying she didn't like her system crashing all the time, and they fixed that, so Windows 7 is her idea. UGH!!!! YOU THOUGH OF AN OPERATING SYSTEM THAT DOESN'T CRASH ALL THE TIME?!?!!? Congratulations! Oi.
Toyota "Did you know" commercial makes me want to punch something.
Did you know? ...Punching something can reward you with an all-expenses paid trip to either a hospital or to prison, depending on the item that you decide to punch.
Location: Close enough to make a beer run during a TV timeout

"You can't pass inspection with pieces left behind" chirps the narrator.
Um. Yeah. Has anyone out there ever been subject to random anal-inspections? Or is this something only that cartoon-bears have contend with in their daily lives?
Your post literally had me rolling in laughter- to the point where my fiancee asked me "what's wrong?"
Those commercials bug me too- what's wrong with using a 30 gram weight to show that it doesn't shread easily?
And regarding those "skin tag" ones- now that there's a name for it and a product out- I have heard people say "really"- like as if now that the know there is a product they might go buy it. And if that means few skin tags I have to see at the beach- I can sit through the comercial.
- The MacDonalds commercial that pisses me off lately is the olympic water bottles with the fruity figure skater and the little girl who prances over and asks for an auto for the yummy mommy sitting right behind him.
That figure skater is Canada's champion and he is more of an athlete than you'll be if you lived 100 lifetimes, fruity.
Is it just me or is that new World Jr. ad for TSN a bit odd?
They have this small kid replicating like he's part of the team and living the dream. Kinda like how your at the rink solo and then pretend your playing with a hockey team or something.
The concept is alright, but the way the scenes play out look weird.
I've got a horrible confession: I like the Telus commercials with the animals!
Catchy songs, awesome animals leaping around- what's not to like?
Granted, I know that seeing them a million times sure hurts. It could be worse.
What about that Rona commercial where the guy is in the bathtub with his wife, and he spontaneously renovates his bathroom- "a little to the left"- now that's annoying!
The return of the Best Buy commercials with the re-enactments of overzealous gift receivers - the ones this year look all-new, meaning Best Buy must have thought or been told so highly of their others that they saw no choice but to film more - have been filling me with murderous rage since I first saw one on TV within the last couple of weeks. Hate, hate, HATE these.
Also driving me nuts are the Rogers commercials with the same stupid dumbass moron 20-somethings drooling over their phones that have plagued similar Rogers commercials for the last few years. I will give the one actor credit for finally cutting his hair, but his personality still pisses me off - perhaps the place he's searching for to "just... hang out" could be somewhere involving heavy traffic? Please? And I really wouldn't be too upset if the blond chick accidentally impaled herself with her auction sign. Eff off and die, Rogers.
And another vote of intense dislike for the Toyota "Did you know?" spots - if the goal with these was to have that obtuse nerd in the suit haunt people's dreams, mission accomplished... I sure ain't rushing out to buy a Yaris, though.
Sigh... why can't there just be, like, a glut of obnoxious ads preceding a program, and no more during, just like at the movies?
