Now everyone is doing it since Ford did it with their trucks (and now everything else it seems).

Oh god it's so bad...but maybe CP could help some friends and I with a debate - aren't all the lines in this one inspired by action movie quotes? Ie. 'this is MY wheat field'


I'm looking at it and I'm 100% sure that this was the extent of their 'creative' direction but I can't pin any of the lines down.

No kidding, I love her, great hockey player but holy crap she cannot act even a little bit. And really if you cannot act enough to make that you are buying a washing machine believable then there is no help for you.

Oh dear god yes. Especially the windshield one, where the host goes "Oh, I can SEE why", laughs hysterically and then says "Oh, no pun intended". Um, doofus, when you EMPHASIZE the word, you're intending the pun. I just want to reach through the radio and punch him in the nose.

I find it really strange that the youtube version is higher quality and smoother than the one that constantly shows up on CBC. Still a terrible commercial.

"'I'm out' is up early, but 'I'm in' is still out.."

That effing Bud Light commercial is just about the worst.

"I'm in" is up for dancing girls, a cheetah on a leash, a reject from the Edgar Winter Group and his adventures are all fueled by light beer from an aluminum bottle.

I mean come on, light beer?

From the radio... Who loves this as much as me... I think it goes something like this:

Sharon! Sharon! I can't go to your sisters wedding!

I broke my pelvis on your Elvis figurine, and the porcelain is lodged deep inside my knee. I'm on the couch and forced to watch TV so wish your sister the best, and enjoy the ceremony. have a good time. I'll be sitting here...

That guy who finds out he has high cholesterol, and says "i'm not going to live like that" (or something like that). He then climbs up on a bridge and jumps. But wait, he is actually bungee jumping. If that's not stupid enough it shows him sitting around making sandwiches. He brought the loaf of bread and tub of margarine along with everything else. Who would do that. why not just make the sandwiches before you leave.

Haha! I loved that one the first few times I heard it, but it gets played too much.

They funniest bit is the three extra lines he gives at the end. He does a really good job on it.

He's such a complete sleaze.

I can't stand that People's Jewelry store commercial on TSN. The mothers day one with some awful awful singing in it. I feel like I'm going to have a stroke whenever I hear that voice.

Haha I love that guy!! The first time I saw a commercial with him in it I laughed, and didn't want to kill myself rather than sit through it.

Supreme Windows has the absolute worst commercials. The ones with the redish head named something-McKenna, reciting lines as though she were in the second grade, reading in her loudest voice at the front of the class. I cringe when they come on. They usually appear during the 6:00pm news on CTV.
