That "Winter is Coming" Blaskin and Lane ad. That guy screaming RELAX...I really want to punch him in the head... The worst ads make me want to get violent.

Those market research group commercials from Chevy, I think. The ones where they get stuck in the elevator and then he asks them all if they like getting stuck, which they don't. Well, here's a Chevy! Yay! Or the ones where they take their phones away and throw them in a wood chipper and everyone freaks out, but wait a minute, he was just pretending to throw them in the wood chipper to prove a point about how scary it is to not be connected. Oh and the new Chevy has wifi, so you are always connected.

I hate "real people" commercials, where the "real people" all act like the dumbest version of humanity in order for the company to make a point about their products.

I like how half those Fan960 or 660News commercials sound like total scams.

I like the National Car Rental Ad:

How about a 10% raise?

How about 20?

How about done?

The first time I saw the subway commercial with the star wars cups wasn't too bad.
But when I see it 50 times a day. I can't stand it.

The fido one where the two girls are walking down the street and people around them are dancing. The music is bad and there are people that just don't make sense. First is the guy in a car that looks like he's driving but is not moving and is surrounded by road workers. Then there's the guy that turns around when they switch songs, stares at them, then just walks twords them.
The whole commercial is dumb.

Why does the Napa break pad guy go into the woods to roar at a Grizzly Bear?

There's one on the radio for the The Source (snowboards and such) where they say, with complete sincerity:

"Want to make some real money?! Professional snowboarders can make millions per year!"

Then launch into how you should buy a snowboard and go snowboarding so you can become a famous millionaire. And it's all played seriously. What a completely dumb, bizarre ad campaign. Same as if SportChek tried to sell you ice skates by saying "Pro hockey players like the Flames make MILLIONS per year! Come buy some skates and get practising today!"

It just baffles me that they think their clientèle are that stupid. Or maybe they are that stupid. Either way, not a good sign.

Sure, but that's a different game. All you have to do is buy a $5 ticket, and get insanely lucky.

To become a millionaire professional athlete, you have to buy thousands of dollars of equipment, get extremely fit, practice for thousands of hours, hope you have some natural talent, AND get insanely lucky. You don't just buy a snowboard and try it out, and next year you're a rich pro. There are way better ways to advertise snowboarding. Like, pretty much any other way is a better way.

These "real people not actors" commercials are really terrible. Namely the a&w and Chevy ones.

People going bonkers over a burger that does not have antibiotics like they actually tell the difference.

The Chevy ones are all bad as well, especially the one with the kids playing games. We have one controller and that sucks right kids, now everyone gets a tablet and that's better right? Also the one kid they ask how he feels is so GD annoying.
I also have to say if "wifi" is the best feature of your vehicle, then that is sad.
