I have to admit the first time I saw that Brut commercial where the dude puts the aftershave on his face and his super hot wife/girlfriend screams and comes back into the room pregnant saying "What the heck did you just do?" made me lol.
I saw this one below once...but since then, haven't seen the dog and goldfish appear in them any longer.
On another note, I think that Boston Pizza got rid of the disturbing rib one, as they've been playing the finger cooking ones the last week or so.
The Spence Diamonds commercial on the radio where the guy says that something is pristine and the girl says "Pristine? Have you been reading the dictionary again Sean?".... seriously? If you're older than 8 years old, you know what pristine means. Makes me want to kick the bitch in the face.
Here's the really stupid part about those Spence Diamond commericals. On one of them, the guy specifically says (paraphrased) "Spence Diamonds: you hate the commercials, but you'll love our products". So even they recognise the crappiness of their commercials. So what the heck is the point? To annoy you to the point that you'll remember them?
i'm coming to the assumption that commercials are heavily affected by viewings/comments after they come out - BP dropping rib rednecks, wendys cutting down its irritating current ad....
It seems like a lot of the commercials on 660 News are pretty terribly produced:
"Westernwindows.com, westernwindows.com...westernwindows.com..." "What are you doing, Frank?" "Oh, I'm just making sure I remember the Western Windows website."
Really, 660 creative department? That's the best you could come up with? And really Western Windows...for accepting that garbage and giving it the okay? And let's not forget all the BRUTAL Bingo Farm commercial spots they do.
That radio commercial with the innocent-sounding guy to happy music "informing" us about how wireless rates in Canada are actually cheaper than the States. No. They're. ####ing. Not. It's practically embarassing.
EDIT: And I don't just mean where the money's divvied up, I don't care about some pie chart showing "well, technically...". All I care about is the $$ amount on my monthly bill. Which is way higher than the U.S. You're not fooling anyone.
Or how about that sniveling Bell one where they whine about the government allowing the big bad US company to come into our market and stomp all over the poor little Canadian companies, making it an unfair deal for Canadians.
Maybe if Bell (and their fellow cell Triads) wouldn't be ripping Canadians a new one on every monthly bill, I might feel bad about the extra competition.

I thought it was the Telus guy whining and complaining. (Edit: Heard the Bell guy when I went out to get lunch, he sucks just as much as Telus guy)
The line about the Canadian taxpayer subsidizing the big bad American company because we paid for all the infrastructure. So does that mean that we all paid for our current providers to have the infrastructure? If so where is our deal?
It is just so poorly done I can't imagine it is winning over the hearts and minds of their fellow Canadians. Especially when we all see our cell bills each month and then compare to places like the US and Europe.

Mike Chang and his stupid sixpack abs crap on YouTube. Holy talk about a self-indulgent #######. The worst is they have an ad where they open up saying they have a quick one minute ad on this "weird trick" to get strong abs, yet the commercial lasts for four minutes and they don't really say anything - all of this while Mike Chang tries to convince you of this with his shirt off and unnecessarily standing in a ######bag check-out-my-biceps posture.
Not gonna lie, I inadvertently snicker every time I hear one of the whiny Bell/Rogers "woe is me" ads. The latest one I heard this morning was the girl talking about how she's from Moncton, and having Verizon come in will screw her small town over because Verizon only cares about big cities. Even if Verizon ends up catering only to big cities, how is that going to screw the small towns over who didn't have carriers like Wind Mobile in the first place?

Oh yeah, my annoyance level flairs up when I hear Boyd Autobody and Glass. It's that stupid jingle that says "Bring it to Boyd, we're just on Boyd! Autobody and Glass" . . . Too much use of the word Boyd in one phrase. Ticks me off.
I can't stand the commercial for the Acorn Stair Lift. There is nothing like trying to unwind on a Saturday night and then being reminded of your own mortality. The reason why you can't go up and down the stairs at that age is because you are dying. Thanks for the buzzkill.
Plus, it's great that the thing will stop if a toy is on the stairs... but then what? You're stuck upstairs until someone moves the toy for you? I'd rather have one with an extra gear that can plough though toys. Crush that toy.

There's this commercial running currently showing some idiot eating chips and working a computer, DJing, and popping some chick's bra strap with his feet. It creeps me out and makes we want to smash that puke's face in. I've seen it at least half a dozen times and still don't remember the brand. So much for the theory of annoying commercials being effective.

Horrible commercial. Even worse product.
When I was grocery shopping a couple of weeks ago, they had them on sale, so I bought a couple of bags, not connecting them with their horrible commercial until I got home and saw the ad again.
As a fat guy, I'm no stranger to snack foods, and I've seriously been struggling to finish two bags of those things. They're like the opposite of the old "betcha can't eat just one" Lays commercials.

I hate that commercial so much, I am mad when the skip lands on it for a fraction of a second
