Whoever at Pepsi OK'd these commercials should be fired.

Does the Spence Diamonds guy have Downs Syndrome or something similar? It occurred to me the other day that maybe he's got a condition that causes him to talk like that.

Watching the World Juniors, I'm reminded of one thing I don't miss about watching live hockey: All the horrendous commercials that get repeated endlessly during the broadcasts.
  • Chevy, "Lucas" overprotective parents
  • Molson 67 "Guyet"
  • Canadian Club "Weedwacker"
  • Both Sleeman and Canadian Club bragging about Americans bootlegging their product during prohibition
  • Both Nike and RBC with their lockout themed ads

Even the ones that were good the first time are just tedious at this point, and the tournament just started.

Those Pete the Plumber commercials that they air on Global every 5 seconds. I always switch the channel when it comes on.

They should flush Pete and just let the dog do the commercials.

I would add the Molson Canadian ad of Gord Miller doing a PBP. Every time it comes on I jam another pen in my ear.

Yes, and the stupid Kraft Dinner ones too. You can buy a box of Kraft Dinner for less than $2 even at its most expensive (and less than a dollar on sale). It's not some super-rare commodity.

Do you know what you have to do if you want some Kraft Dinner rather than begging your roommate? Boil water, throw the noodles in, wait 8 minutes and mix in the sauce.

Ok that new bud light commercial with the cheerleaders sneaking the guy in the club. So annoying and they must have shown it every commercial break today during the football game.

Is that the one where they talk about moving to Russia to follow hockey or inventing a new sport and calling it "hockey"? I hate that one so much.

Came here to post this. So that guy he's obviously some sort of creepy pedobear, correct? Why is he in black and white?

I don't get it. I'm sure a bus load of cheerleaders don't need to sneak you in, they'll get you in no problem.

^Well yes, but we'll add that to the unrealistic aspects of the ad, including the ability to get a bus of cheerleaders to show up on no notice to a bar simply because you typed in a name on the internet. The annoying thing is just them showing it a thousand times, the ad isn't annoying on its face.

One that is annoying on its face and is being shown ad nauseum is that one with the women talking about how they like their chicken and rice and whether they want the sauce on the side or whatever. Just STFU for the love of Christ.

There's no worse commercial on TV right now then the PSP commercial with some random guy off the Toronto Raptors.

I thought the first one was terrible and scripted, but the newer one with the chick in the blue coat is just the most awkward exchange of conversation.

Yeah, and seriously...Landry Fields? I'm a Raptors fan and would barely recognize who he was.
