Yeah, I get some weird ads online sometimes. I like to consider that a good thing because it means they're not giving me super-personalized stuff.

Every year, in the spring, I get a bunch of farming-related ads on Twitter.

Why are all the sports betting and on-line gambling commercials so shady looking? They are like spam websites but in commercial form.

I’ve only seen it once but that mold spray with the couple screaming is high on the list of terrible commercials

The singer just recreated the beloved music video for the 1987 hit 35 years later for an AAA Insurance commercial.

"Your doctor knows what Contrave is. Ask them."

No, I'm not going to ask my doctor about a drug that might not have anything to do with the issue I'm having and look like a complete moron.

It bugs me, it really bugs me, that actors in McDonalds commercials only pretend to bite the food. Just bite it already.

At least Wendy is willing to get face-deep in a burger.

You get danger pay for eating McDonald's, they likely don't want to spend the money on that and the extra insurance.

Maybe the actors are vegans. Like in Star Wars: A New Hope.
Probably.

Any pharmaceutical that doesn't explicitly express what it is for drives me crazy.

Of course the mere idea we are being marketed pills and treatments at all is pretty bonkers.

Canadian law says that companies can't advertise prescription drugs straight to consumer but a loophole is that drugs can be advertised if they don't tell you what the purpose is.

Tim Hortons has an ad on Twitter that if you accidentally click on it while scrolling by, it sends you into an never-ending redirects from the ad to the app store if you try to back out of it, until you force close everything.

The fake Bob Ross. Not only is it bad, it ####s on Ross’ legacy. It’s borderline offensive.

The godawful Wah Hyundai commercials. So, so bad.

I can’t remember the 3rd one that’s been in my #### list but I’m sure it’ll come to me soon.

The new A&W ad where the guy picks up a teen burger and then proceeds to turn down multiple offers to hang out with people because apparently he'll be spending the next 6 f'n hours eating a burger.

The no regrets one with the chick laying in bed looking at the clock and the blood curdling song playing and it plays every commercial break, literally stab me in the ears

Pumpkin tooth.

I have never wanted to punch a character in a commercial more than the 1 in that commercial - and yes, I am aware that I have what is a completely irrational response to it.

LOL, I laughed my head off at that one when I first saw it too. Not to mention, it seems to take him like an hour to get home to eat his cold burger.
