Those stupid food commercials (Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, A&W) where the customer has to ask repeatedly to make sure it was their value item, how much it cost, what it is, etc. when that is WHAT THEY ORDERED. Oh geeze, they read the sign, more than likely saw the price, ordered and paid and after all that they need to question it???

Ugh.

That A&W one where the dude reverses 2 times in the drive thru to ask questions is the worst.

I love the Wendy's commercials though, that redhead pushes my buttons all the right ways

and apparently an actress or something. I saw a picture of her recently with her name so i looked it up and she is in tv shows. Can't remember now anymore, last name starts with a "K" I think.

Regardless, I fricken hate the commercials.

The weisers spiced rum commercials. It's a little bit of (lame crap) with a little (ear splitting over the top crap). Insert lame facial expression.

Good lord that Lucas car commercial annoys the hell out of me. I have to say though I feel bad for the kid.

That Boston Pizza commercial with the line "don't be a foodie". Are they implying that any who appreciates decent food is a pretentious goof? Or that people should remain ignorant about food if they like BP?

I like when that one is on close to the same time as the guyet one. Guyet and foodie. They both must have hired the same marketing people.

On tv - any Tim Horton's commercial. Their advertising firm should be shot.


On Radio - Spence Diamonds - Can barely listen to 960 in the morning anymore because there are so many of these commercials.

I think that Guyet commercial is great. It really makes me want to get one of those burgers with the little crunchy onion things on top.

I'm the opposite, I don't care for the guyet one but I laugh every time the BP foodie one comes on. the transformation is just so funny because we all know somebody like that who fancies themselves a sophisticated restaurant evaluator. the only way that commercial could have been better is if he took out a camera and posted his meal on instagram/facebook/urbanspoon (artsy filters optional).

The BMO (?) ad with the woman walking around the neighbourhood street. Complete rip-off of a Kylie Minogue video.

I don't even know what car the commercial is for, but I can't stand that one with the hipster with the beard where at the end he sees himself driving the same car and says; "Nice car, nice beard".

I don't know why, but that guy irritates me.

Edit: It's Subaru. And the guy has really gross nipples.

This Budweiser Red Light commercial ... could they really not have come up with some names better than Shanko and Lando for the PBP? It just seems lazy.

Both weak attempts at trying to create a word that they hope people will adopt and start using day to day (neologism) and thus eventually turn into something uniqely Canadiana, especially with guyet.
