Unless they become significantly better and cheaper than the competition, I will never be a Telus customer.

Western Windows radio ads are by far the worst and the most annoying Calgary commercials of 2013. No competition.

Any kind of dealership sale commercial, so unoriginal, always annoying. Spence Diamonds commercials coming on every. single. commercial break on Flames radio. When it comes to TV I don't notice much, just because I always have another channel with a good sitcom on the recall button to switch to every time a break comes on.

Amazingly Telus commercials don't bother me that much. Most times it's just animals and a soundtrack with no annoying dialogue, so while they are so frequent, there are others that are worse to me.

That goddamn Chevy Cruze commercial on the radio is really starting to annoy me. First of all, I want to punch the voice guy in the nuts for sighing before saying "you did some damage", and then I want to punch him in the throat for all the lame crap he says at the end about waves of relief and and help an security. I can't even remember what he says, it's just so over the top lame, I swear it's marketing for the strugglingest strugglers on the road. You know that you absolutely suck at driving, and you're probably going to crash, so buy this car because we'll dispatch an ambulance before your car rolls to a stop. Now, don't you feel a deep wave of relief? I want whoever wrote that script to be deep under the waves of the ocean in some concrete boots.

I think it was something like "as a wave of technology and human compassion swirls over you" or something like that. I remember first hearing that and literally rolling my eyes at how lame it sounded.

Oh #### these Keg commercials. I just saw one involving some kind of blind date set up. All awkward at first but by the end she's playing footsies with him. I'm sure the guy is thinking "Thanks Keg! Looks like this girl is keen to get a little sour cream on her hot baked potato thanks to your expertly cooked steaks and quality wine selection."

#### off 'The Keg'!

Just saw this commercial, not only does she play footsies with him, but she gives him the inner thigh rub at the end. The keg dinner definitely got her all horny.

That way if you know of somebody who is visually impaired, you can let them know this service is available.

My grandmother was pretty much deaf for the last few years of her life. It wasn't until we were all at my parents' place with their new TV that I mentioned "let me turn on the CC for you Grandma" that she even knew it existed. She had stopped watching TV at that point, but was able to pick up her soap operas again because I knew of CC being available. (This was in the mid 90's.)

Not sure if mentioned be foreign but the Dawn dish detergent commercial where they are apparently at some poutine cookout. First, poutine cookout? Second, poutine in huge pots? Third, whatever was on those pots looks nothing like poutine. Did they just try to adapt an American commercial to Canada by merely changing the subject to poutine?

If you read the sign behind the trophy winner in the ad, that is rubbing his belly like he has a five alarm turtle head touching cloth, it says it's a "Poutine eating contest."

Which somehow seems even more obscure than a poutine cooking contest.

Fluorescent man lighting commercial.

"I don't want my receptionist up on a ladder during business hours, and I don't have time to change a light bulb!!?? What to do?"

"I have been dressing hair in the dark for 2 months, because the guy the boss lady called never showed up!"

To coin 4X4 "You have to be the strugglingist of strugglers" if you can't figure out how to take the 3 minutes to change a freakin light bulb after hours.

On the topic of this commercial, who is the blonde host of this commercial. I know I have seen her is something but I cannot place it.
I swear sometimes they need an IMDB for commercial actors

It appears to be Christina Moore: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0601041/

She's been in a lot of stuff that I've never seen. She was the replacement Laurie on That 70s Show (I don't remember there being a replacement Laurie).
