I heard that one today. What's with the shrill noise at the end that goes on for a couple seconds? Probably enough to deafen a dog.

woo, can't wait to see the next obscure DJ or musician they trot out to unconvincingly hawk Blackberry products. C'mon BB, you had a great run but at least try to die with some dignity.

Any Visions commercial on the Fan. Reminds me of this: (except they think it'll work)

Homer: Well, I really should discuss this with my wife.
Salesman: Your wife? (cracks an imaginary whip)
Homer: What, you think I'm going to buy a $20,000 truck just because you
make that noise?
Salesman: (cracks his whip again)
Homer: Okay, I'll take it.

The ALexander Keiths where everyone is receiving a supposedly very shocking, risque, mind blowing picture of their friend Dave. He then shows up at the pub , and he is a 35 year old, complete milquetoast who looked like he had to get his Mothers permission to leave the house.

The most annoying commercial on TV has to be the ridiculous "Every Game Matters" Commercial from the Flames. Not only is it horrible, but every time i watch it i am reminded of the crappy team who only tries once every 10 games and acts more like "Every 5th Game Matters"

The toilet paper commercials with the animated bears drive me nuts. Do any women out there actually inspect their kid's or husband's asses for left over toilet paper or danglers?

I'm sure this has been mentioned by someone else, but I hate all commercials. I have stopped listening to the radio altogether ( also due to the DJs. Here's a thought :You're not f#*king funny. Just because your sock puppets are laughing at the drivel spouting out from between your lips, it doesn't mean I'm not chewing on my steering wheel and screaming at you at the top of my lungs to just play me some music and kindly STFU). Sorry, off on a little rant there. Anyways, no more radio and and a PVR have brought a bit of sanity back into my life

I like Martin Short, but hearing him sing "Canada's Got Talent" every 20 mins on the FAN is very annoying.

The raspy honey-badger-sounding guy on those Spence radio spots. He always tries to sound so cool and with-it. Can't stand that little turd.

Yeah, the worst is the one where they are beating each other up over the bowl of KD; yet there is still a pot full on the stove.

The new one talking about lower energy rates in Alberta where the mom and child have a special moment "baking cookies" implying that they couldn't bake together without lower power rates.
