Not a fan of the Toyota Highlander (I think that's the model) commercial with the park ranger asking the family all of the questions. The ranger is just super annoying, "is the engine powerful? (Yes) Do you think I'm powerful?" Annoys the crap out of me...
Location: Close enough to make a beer run during a TV timeout

Can somebody please explain the Kia commercial where the hamsters get in shape? All I can think of is the slam on car saying the engine is so gutless, it's like it's powered by a hamster running on a wheel to power the car.
They can't possibly think that having a hamster in good shape powering the car would be a "good" thing.

I actually really like this commercial, even after seeing it over a dozen times. I guess it's my type of humor. When the guy responds to the "Do you think I'm powerful?" question with "Possibly", his voice has the best mix of confusion and fear in it. Both the ranger and the driver play their parts perfectly. One of the few commercials I'm glad they didn't shorten for a 15 second spot.

The commercial is awful and annoying, but I think the hamsters are a representation of the Kia designers, and the old adage of hamsters running on a wheel as a way of showing the human mind at work. Although I have no idea what's happening in the rest of the commercial.
The Sherwood Park Toyota commercials are absolutely brutal, the one with a car salesman sitting on a stool while the cameraman asks him questions. Nothing about that commercial would make me want to go to them in wanting to purchase a car.
I think 960 is scraping the bottom of the barrel now. Almost every single break it is either that loser from an Okotoks car dealership or the chick from Mugshots talking about how great it is to advertise on their station.

Kia has been using the hamsters to advertise the Soul for years (I think since its debut).
The original ad compared other cars to hamsters running on their wheels:
Over the years, the hamsters started wearing clothes and dancing to whatever song was hot at the time and now they don't even live in the all-hamster world any more.
The 2014 Soul was re-designed, so they had the Hamsters "transform" themselves too.

I'm not sure if it's on TV or just a streaming commercial, but the KFC commercial where the mother is talking about how the KFC dinner that she's currently feeding her family is an improvement over the toast, cereal, and rice-cake dinners that she often feeds them. Someone put those kids in a foster home, they'll be better off than with these negligent parents!
Yeah, I feel like she loses some credibility when she is the spokeswoman for at least three different products at the same time.
The one I hate is the Tim Horton's ad for their crispy chicken sandwich where you can hear everyone eat because the chicken is so crispy. Hearing someone eating is probably the least enticing thing you could have in a food commercial.

Seconded. If it wasn't the same annoying one liner for what, 5 or 6 goes, it might've been tolerable. Nope.
The Bud Light Life commercial makes me want to smash things.

which one?
and on a similar note, maybe it is the same one as I can't even remember which kind of beer it is. But the one where a bunch of yuppies hike up a mountain and 2 guys carry a full cooler of beer and ice with them.
wtf is with beer commercials these day where we have to suspend our belief for them. carrying full coolers up mountains, taking a beer fridge across the world to take to a beach hut.
I think I prefer a simple commercial full of scantily dressed hot women, and beer to these mini epics these days.

The girls' night out one. Where she talks super fast and it's all crappy text talk. So awful.
