First it was that "should tell him or should I?" WTF? I still don't understand that stupid thing. Now it's the "we're not breakfast nook people". Great. Thanks for making me dumber.
Also any bank / insurance / mortgage / money in general commercial -- CIBC in particular -- that tries to be all cute and emotional. Like that chick buying the vineyard, or the dude building the nursery. F off and die. All you financial institutions do is steal my money. Don't try to make me feel giddy about it.
OHHH the breakfast nook people make me and my husband want to scream. Watching those commercials makes me not care about not being rich!
The current champ though has to be the Purina dog food ones with a dog slurpin and gobblin it's food.
That, and the one with the dentabone make me smile every time. Something so dog like about both of those commercials. It likely helps I don't have the slut imagery you have...I can see that affecting things.

If I ever bumped into that guy in the Spence Diamonds commercials on the street one day I would be in jail. I hate that guy with the fire of a thousand suns.

At least you know that will only be on for a month until the promo is over...
The first time I saw the one with the grandfather at the hockey rink bringing a coffee to his son I thought 'Awww, that is a nice story of family bonding', after 3 years that commercial is pretty grating...
I am also getting sick of any of the commercials on CBC since they have all been the same since the start of the playoffs...

The dude in the radio commercials?!
There's a lineup a mile long for smackin that nimrod down.

That is the one. I have heard that he actually works there but I categorically refuse to go because of those commercials. I just don't understand the logic behind commercials that trash guys when they are the ones you are trying to get into your store to spend money.
Since I have pretty much stopped with NHL hockey for the year, I have definitely noticed a steep drop-off in the number of obnoxious commercials I am subjected to. Interesting to note how certain stations gear towards certain demographics - lots of cleaning-product ads on FoodTV - but generally I've noticed there isn't nearly the level of nauseating repetition for commercials on any other channel or program that there is for hockey. Certainly sponsorship must be the biggest factor but damn... Telus might want to know that I will never buy their product because of their ad campaign.
The pedigree dog bone one with that dog chomping for 30 seconds. Yeah.., like I really want to hear what it would sound like if you put a mic up to a dogs mouth when he was chewing on food for 30 seconds...
The Kia one with the slightly overweight salesman dancing. The hip thrusts while on one knee towards the one car are highly disturbing.
Who's this trying to target? He's not good looking enough to attract ladies, but not weird enough to get people to laugh and take it lighthearted.
Also what bugs me is the Nissan commercial with "God" walking in. Not so much that cheesy angle, but the "we're trying to be current and hip so lets put a Starbucks cup of coffee in the salesman's hand" tacked on gimmick.
The Kia one is playing off of Flashdance...if you know the movie it can be kind of funny. The other you mention is sad though.
Add me to the list of those who want to lynch the spence diamonds guy.
Now I havent read this whole thread so I apologize if this is a repeat, but I really cant stand the Calgary Hitmen radio ads guy. Wow is that annoying. Makes it sound like some kind of wrestling/death metal event. So entirely brutal I cant put it into words. I switch off the radio as soon as those commercials come on now.
I would like to support the Hitmen considering its my favorite sport, but wow have they missed the mark with that ad campaign.

Yep that's disgusting. I won't allow
my dog in the same room when he's chomping down like that, so what gives them the right to invade my living room. [Rex does try to sneak in with his bone hidden in his mouth though, looks hilarious.] Anyways thank god for my PVR so I can pause then skip the commercial but I'm not always quick enough. Did I say it is disgusting?
