The trend of immediately announcing who the commercial is for, and then what it's called.

Auto Value Presents....

Wendy's Presents...

Esso Stations present....

The new commercial on the Fan for, I think, some sort of alarm company with Boomer talking about having sex and getting busted by your kids. Who thought that was a good way to sell something?

All those Nissan ads with Bruno Mars songs. As if they're not played on the radio enough as is.

The CTV news ads. First, why do you have to advertise the news? Secondly, no, you probably dont know everything there is to know about whatever city you happen to drop a reporter into. And finally, the last line '...we get the real story, and then we go further.'
What? Isnt the 'real story' the story? Isnt that it? If you go further then the 'real story' I think at that point you are just making stuff up.
'The real story was an accident happened. Two cars crashed into each other..but we went further...it was aliens'
So stupid.

I think they're selling a motion detection system in that particular example, though they offer many things in that vein, but that's just as stupid.

1. Does any parent tell their kids they're wrestling anymore? This isn't 50's television. If the kids are old enough to ask questions or be suspicious, they probably already have at least a very basic understanding.

2. Lock the door perhaps? If there's a problem, put on you pants and go check it out. And if it's a real emergency your going to have to leave the room anyway. The kids barging in isn't going to make anything easier or faster. Their not going to be dragging in injured bodies to save valuable seconds.

3. Who would spend a bunch of money just to delay the facts of life talk? Those awkward situations are almost a right of passage for both parties involved. Your a parent, your privacy will be nearly zero. Just teach your kids to respect privacy as they age and be prepared for some awkward moments when they are young. Well, there will be awkward moments later too, just the other way round. Haha.

What a dumb commercial.

Just start pouring the bleach in my eyes and ears.

I can't stand that Alberta Lotteries Cash Grab commercial and it seems to play during every commercial break for Global News.

I think Norm MacDonald is the new Colonel Sanders. I am unsure how to feel about this yet.

The Acura commercial where they're out for a test drive and the salesman is squealing with delight like a little girl.

The McDonalds taste testing commercial. Oh, wow, you can figure out that you are eating french fries even though you are blindfolded? Amazing.

My grandson has this blankie that gets filthy. But he has such sensitive skin that you worry about what you use in the laundry.

GARRRRRRRGH! I want punch Grammie in the face and then follow up with a slap the to boy's face.

That's right. This commercial is so bad, it makes me want to hurt a child.

Go to hell, Tide. Go to hell.

The Sam Bennett Dr. Seuss commercial doesnt annoy me so far, but I think two weeks from now it will big time.

"FanDuel will give away 2 billion this year..."

Apparently all on advertising. Feels like those freaking commercials are in every break on every station. >.<
