Whatever financial services company runs the "ask tough questions about your money" ads. At first they had a point about people analyzing the investment fees vs returns but now it's just bad actors flipping out on people for common turns of phrase.

"You'll see the returns in time; it's a long term game"
"It's not a game...it's my retirement. It's my family's future"

Holy crap beardo calm down, the guy made a completely valid statement about investing illustrated by an idiom and you're trying to tone set him over that? He obviously knows your retirement isn't another version of donkey Kong 64. Relax. Or

"I really don't think pulling out your money is the best move"
"Best move for who? Best move for you??? Or for my family??"
Probably both lady jeez. You're mad dawging this guy for giving an opinion.

The Progessive Insurance dude chewing up the scenery when his group sings Heaven On Earth. Must punch him.

Tide Pods.

I have no idea which target audience the cross-eyed, seemingly mildly disabled, Coach Breaux is trying to reach.

Not a commercial but Justin Havre, Remax Realtor, put up a giant billboard on the YYC parkade with a 50 foot picture of himself. It really bothers me seeing anyone's face on a billboard that size.

I hate those commercials. If that happened in real life, I'd tell beardo or quivering lip lady to take their money and gtfo. I'll see you guys when you are 70 and working at the Macdonalds drive thru window.

I’m tolerant of bad commercials thanks to the PVR but I hate the My Pillow crap, which is a pack of lies.

Real Estate is a tough gig, but yeah I get your complaint.

I also dislike realtors that give themselves stupid nicknames.

No, they're awful. That one commercial of him phoning up a booking agent? Terrible. "If you can make that happen, that would be great!" So this guy basically wants a vacation where him and his family are the only ones at amazing monuments and waterfalls and at night, he can jam with the locals on the beach? How do you set that up? I want to phone the them up and use the exact wording he did and see what they come up with.
