There's an awful radio commercial playing in Toronto for some food place that basically just has Nazem Kadri saying "I falafel" (feel awful) over and over and over.

Hideous.

What the hell does Worley Parsons Cord do? The ads are so vague. They "fabricate" stuff. Same for Rapid Response Projects. No idea what they do.

They do stuff that no ordinary person would need done. Similar to all of the ads that line the boards at SAP Center during Sharks games. Unless you're an electronics engineer, most of those companies are meaningless.

The. Worst. I get that they're trying to make commercials 'hip' and all, but this goes beyond ridiculous.

All I know is their main building was near my old restaurant and they get lunch breaks at 11:30, and get every second Friday off Past that, no idea what they do. Name always annoyed me for some reason though

That Farmersonly.com commercial on TSN is hilariously bad. It's like a commercial back from the 80's. I was surprised its actually a real website.

The Twix "competition" commercials are starting to get on my nerves. What a dumb concept to begin with.

I thought they were some of the more original ones. At least the whole "two different manufacturing plants" ones.

Is this really a true story as it's incredibly hard to just move to Indonesia. I had a customer in town in December from Australia that works for ExxonMobil living/working in Indonesia for a 3 year term. They have major issues trying to bring in trained people as the country is very protective about foreigners taking jobs in the country so a lot of these engineers spend their time making training manuals idiot proof for unskilled operators and techs because they don't like to bring in labour from the outside. Just to be able to live and work there he has to hire a full time Indonesian maid as well as driver. Even if he wanted to drive himself to work every day he would still have to pay a driver to wait at his house. I'm trying to figure out how a Canadian could just live on a hut on an island there.

I don't even know what product or company it is selling but I am really annoyed with the commercial where the guy is watching the weather forecast and becomes upset because nothing but rain is forecast and it shows that he has buckets everywhere collecting rain from his leaky roof.

Whatever the commercial is that plays on either the Fan or that new AM Comedy station, the one that goes something like this:
*door slam*
"When Jimmy said he hated me, I didn't know what to do!"
yaddayaddayadda
Have trouble raising a teenager?
yaddayaddayadda
"But not anymore Jimmy, now we're going to do it MY way! The ___ method!"
Call now to get a free program!

I really, REALLY can't stand that stupid crap.

It's a payday loan company. Basically showing the guy doesn't need to wait until payday to get his roof fixed; he can get a loan and get it done right away.

You're doing it wrong if you ever need a payday loan.

Agreed. Especially if you own a house; where you would be responsible for fixing your own roof.

I just actually like the fact that they show a practical use for a loan that somehow skirts the province's Usury laws; instead of what they probably get used for,

I just saw 2 commercials from Dicks sporting goods during the Hockey I didn't know what to think about, a little too serious.
1st was a teenagers Grandfather dies and he goes fights through the grief to go pitch a winning ball game.
2nd one was girl young girl struggling though school, burger job, taking care of her younger siblings, etc etc, but fights all the odds to make the lacrosse team.
Why so serious Dicks?
