I think the one with the guy in all-body traction in the hospital when the nurse steals his sub is even better.

My favorite Mr. Sub commercial was the "toasted buns" one.

EDIT: Found it!

Hands down it's the bouncing car commercial that annoys me most.

OMG I completely forgot about that commercial after they stopped showing it a million times a day. Worse. Commercial. EVER.

If they didn't mean for it to be that horrible, they are complete idiots.

No, either way they are complete morons.

All of them. Thats the one thing that can make you crazy watching a whole hockey season, commercials, commercials, and when its not a commercial the ads are all over the boards.

The Approved mortgage Yes orgasm one is terrible (gets some funny looks at work). The previous one where the guy said Yes 3 times (and yells it for 10 seconds on the third try) seemed to get taken off quickly. I've already e-mailed about the orgasm one, AND the Boston Pizza opera singer one. I haven't been able to win the battle of the Calgary Job Shop ones. Must say, good site, but my LORD are the commercials irritating.

All Commercials suck.. I have relatives over from europe and they can't believe how long the segments are and how ty/stupid they all are. Some might be SOMEWHAT funny at first, but suck slowly over time until they drive you mad.

One that I kinda find funny right now on the FAN960 is "The sword is like your transmission son..." one.

I like Bill Hicks take on Marketing people. EVIL.

The one I shake my head at now is the guy throwing his keys off of the top floor of the parking garage.

why is he on the passenger side of his vehicle and looks like he is heading towards the edge.
did his friend follow him or just happened to be on the top floor of an empty parking garage at the same time
who cares about a 10,000 Suzuki.
he could hurt someone throwing his keys off of there.

On a more positive note

Autotrader has come up with some great commericals of late

"Oh I'm 37"

"Oh well I was looking for someone a bit younger...actually a lot younger"

Or the

"Must be 16 years of age" with a parody of those late night call adds

Brilliant!

well, the reason for that is that it was directed by the same guy who directed all those kung fu movies in the '70's

I am definitely in the Panago camp. Anyone who has worked at a pizza place, knows the amount of human contact that comes into play while rolling out dough, and the thought of some big, hairy, chicago construction worker guy handling my food just makes it a write off for me. And whats with the frikkin hard hat at all occasions? Is the guy a special adult or something, that needs to be protected when out in public?

Close second... Toyota truck. Getting some skinny, philisophical drifter pimping your Trucks just somehow loses the core market.

I can't believe nobody has mentioned it yet, but I don't think I've hated any commercial more than the Alexander Keith's beer commercials. Absolutely hated all of them and never understood any of them either. Anyone else hate these stupid commercials?

Yeah they are dumb. I suppose they are aiming to be funny, but they missed their target big time with me.

The Wal Mart one where the couple meets in the aisle and high five each other. My husband and I have been high fiving each other ever since we first saw it, we call it the wal mart high five. Very childish I know, but it's just too dumb a commercial not to make fun of.
