Commercials you can't stand!

The Dempster's bread commercial with the girl lip syncing "I got you" and the dude's flexing his arms. Horrible

Anyone else hate the PokerStars commercial with Rafael Nadal? My main issue is with the chick, and the fact that they dub her saying "Nadal" at the end. It's just irritating to no end that you can tell that she's not the one saying it. They really couldn't find someone capable of saying his name? The voice stands out so damn much in the commercial; it gets on my nerves when it's on every commercial break.

??? ... it's her saying it. It's a spanish woman saying a spanish name.

Listen to it very carefully, that's someone else's voice, it's definitely been dubbed in.

I couldn't even figure out what she was saying the first few times, because it just makes no sense to me to say Nadal, after someone tells her to shut up in a library.

What is a Man who "loves Canada" and "loves hockey" doing by himself in Indonesia?

There is one one the radio. It is a cop talking about how he just passed a line of traffic going the other way and everyone slowed down except the one that was driven by an obviously drunk person. This is fine and dandy until he says he would help but it is up to you to call 911. WTF?

I wonder how they are so quiet to get all those camera angles just right and then clear it all away to get that final one where the guy comes out of his hut he's been hiding in on a nice sunny day, and is overcome with surprise. Realistically there should have been about 4 cameras in view.

Right, he's going to catch this guy, but he can't catch everybody. So if we see any other drunks, call 911.

I get that it isn't a great commercial. But the message does seem clear.

I get that part and I like the message. It's the way they say "I saw the guy but it's up to you to call 911."

Every time I see that ad I assume the reason her 'mouth is on fire' is because there's too much siracha sauce in all the yop she gobbles around the office.

They're bad enough to make you wish for a ham-handed Timmy's commercial.

The ridiculously over dramatic Team Canada Olympics commercials.

It's just sports.

"You got it booking right" You deserve this booking vacation" The guy who wrote that commercial needs a good booking kick in the balls.

[Igster]

I actually laughed at that one the first time I saw it.

that new Dempsters ad with the security guard lip-synching "I'm too sexy" is outright annoying.

as annoying as the voiceover is, I actually don't mind this commercial too much because that's how I feel when I walk into a hotel and it's better than I was expecting. sure beats the times when a giant cockroach is at the front desk to process your check in.

in general though, TSN is really piling the crap on overdrive lately. it seems every single commercial break is a rotation of the following:

1. Nadal playing online poker with his magical waterproof iPad (yet I still wait to the end every time to see if he wins or loses)

2. snowboarding d-nozzle having an orgasmic experience over Rogers LTE download speeds and taunting his friend over it

3. all of Canada supposedly spitting out their drinks over an MLS signing

4. the immortal commercial that cannot be killed off...

I'm doin' it!
I'm diggin' it!
I'm bringin' it!
We're feelin' it!
I'm livin' it up!
I'm lighting it up!
Woooo! I'm burning it up!
And I'm lovin' it baby!

for this one it's gone past the point of bad and looped around, such that I now stand up and do the knee/fist pump along with the last guy.

The thing I don't get about this commercial is that they are targeting the North American audience, but use two Spaniards to do it, one of which has one word that is barely understandable by said audience. Was this commercial recycled from Spain or something? I don't get it. Nadal has name value, that's about the only connection I can see.

And it would have been more appropriate for her to say "I won" or "I lost" or something, rather than the name of the guy she won/lost to.

If we lose to the Sharks on Thursday, I'm going to say "San Jose".

Commercial would have been better if the guy opened his door and the fridge was there instead of his buddies. His buddies should not have been there, which is now just a dude-bro reunion. The fridge was completely useless.

Also, this was completely set up as you suggest. With his paper-thin beach hut walls, he would have heard all the setup and commotion. especially with them coming up the stairs to his rickety shack.
