Now that you mention it, isn't the kid in the commercial always holding his phone vertically? So, really, his video at the end should only be occupying the middle quarter of the screen.

Watching football is just painful on CTV feed. They have about 5 regular commercials they cycle through for 10 hours of football now.

I'll never buy a Nissan pthfinder after this.
The macdonalds wha commercial etc.

And the shows they show previews for all look like crap.

He's Delta Force Tier 1, wtf

Sick as a dog today which forced me to stay in bed all day and watch football.
No ability to do some things around the house between casual watching/listening to allow me to skip the commercials.

"These are my values...and this is my Pathfinder"? WTF does that even mean when buying a car? Along with ramming Bruno Mars down our throat.

I'm convinced that my headache was made worse listening to all of these from 11am to 5pm.

I'd rather have the Primus or Canadian Tire blimp from 6 or 7 years ago, rather than bumpers of CTV News or CTV programming as they wait for Fox/CBS to finish their ads.

Every commercial with that Brent Butt lookin' mother####er who is in half of the commercials on tv right now... Telus "Hashtag Frugal"; Expedia "Escape Winter"; and that new McDonald's one where he's a DJ at a light rock station who talks really loudly after taking a bite of whatever McDonald's crap he just bought.


Why does it seem like every year there's one guy who is in every commercial airing on Canadian television?

I hate the over zealous call of duty players commercial that seems to be running right now.

On the new Wendy's commercial with the idiot running and grabbing the fire extinguisher, has anyone else noticed that the version that airs on Canadian channels, she stops him before he discharges the extinguisher; but on the version that airs on US channels, he blasts her in the face with it and she has white residue all over her face when they cut to her?

I am just going to add to the pile-on with regards to that annoying McDonalds' 290 calorie egg mcmuffin commercial that has inundated both tv and radio.

God that is effing horrible.

Wwwhhaatt??

Any weather commercial where the weather person is talking about how important their job is because it affects every single person every single day.

Guess what, you don't make the weather, you report it. Most of you aren't even registered meteorologists, as if that's even a big thing. You're a talking head.

The worst is the one with the new (albeit cute) blonde for the CTV morning program who says she likes to get out and meet people cause it's important to her job to know what's important to people.

WTF?! How does that factor into weather reporting one bit?

I chuckle at those, the first one I thought was pretty good. Can't say they're good commercials though because I always forget what it is they're advertising. Always think it's Expedia or something
