Holy eff that commercial is terrible. I am not a terribly musical person, but that singer sounds horribly off-key.

the Lazy Boy commercial. "Wow you offer your design services for free". then she snaps her finger and her design services are clearly overpriced even when free. Hideous, i could do better.

How the hell did Scotiabank get the rights to use Ahead by a Century in their commercial?

Couple month old topic bump, and an aside, but did Federated Co-op actually produce anything locally? They closed their distribution centre, sure, but I honestly don't know what if any of the "Co-op Gold", "centsibles", etc. products were actually made locally.

The Big Mac bacon commercials. I don't care, and that guy who won't call it a Big Mac is just plain annoying.

Didn’t Domino’s or Papa John go that route?

I believe Dominos went through a similar campaign 10 or so years ago when they overhauled their product. I think the biggest change was the pizza sauce. I remember them shutting all over their old sauce and saying how good the new sauce is.

Yep, and it was very successful. Not surprised another major chain is going that route, if they in fact have improved it.

Dominos just did it recently with their crust. They had a huge campaign a couple years ago.

This commercial is dumb even by Tim's standards. What advertising agent thought it was a good idea to put out a commercial centered around taste testers confirming your new dark roast doesn't suck as much as the old one?

A&W? That seems to be their schtick. Give your product to "Real People" and get them to gush over free food, then lay down that now there are no antibiotics or steroids or the beef is only grass fed. Now film them having their minds blown.

Yeah, but in fairness A&W did finally change their coffee. Sometimes I wonder to myself, do the C-suite people at these companies never eat/drink/use their actual product? Like that coffee was absolute swill. There is no way that anyone could drink that and think "that's not too bad", never mind make that part of your daily routine. But they kept plodding along with great breakfast sandwiches and a horrible coffee to go with it.
I just can't imagine being the CEO of A&W, and you've literally never stopped for breakfast at one of your restaurants...but it's the only logical explanation?

This commercial gets exponentially worse every time it is shown.
By the end of a Flames game or a NFL game I am ready to kill someone. And everyone I watch with feels the same way.
It makes me never want to eat at McD's again.
I wake up screaming in the middle of the night because of this monstrosity
I want to punch the "Not a big Mac" guy in the face. He is worst then Joffrey Baratheon
It may be the worst commercial of all time.

Ugh, you make it so hard to be your friend, sometimes.
