Has anyone caught the informercials for the following products? They show up at odd times on various channels, but they aren't mainstream...

1 - 9/11 silver commemorative coin with the rising twin towers
http://www.nationalcollectorsmint.com/product.jsp?path=-1|6966&id=8017

2 - GM anniversary coin with the yellow Corvette who's headlights 'light up'
http://www.corvettedollar.com/

3 - The Replica model of the 1941 Flatdeck truck and the 1932 Fire Chief sedan

Groan. People actually buy this crap? I'll see if I can find some video.

Now, the Roll and Gro on the other hand, that's a product I can get behind! LOL : )

These new Koodo commercials with the friggin' aerobics chicks make me wonder if you need any smarts at all to get into marketing...

I hate the Spence diamonds and the sleep country ones on the radio. And I have to agree with the "feminine products) thread as well. They put warnings in front of Family Guy, why cant they run one before those lousy commercials?

Worst one for me right now is the one on the radio that starts off...

'Are you sick of being asked for the square root of an isosceles triangle....." It makes me grind my teeth and stab the button to change the station every time I hear that.

I would like to nominate Scotiabank for another 'worst commercial ever' award.

There are spenders and saver. Spenders like to spend, savers like to drop kick marketing execs in the throat with their vicious ninja moves.

Seriously? The only thing worse than scotiabank's actual financial services is their marketing department.

Boooooooooo...........

No kidding ... that is the most obnoxious commercial in a long time "Just talk, and text, and talk, and text". It's about what I'd expect if Barbie became animate and created a TV commercial

...because there have been other coins with working headlights?

Yeah good call, that guy is such a wiener

I love his stupid reasoning too “It came out of the oven so you eat it last…” what the hell is he talking about?

I also hate the commercial on the Fan for the Hitmen

“What team means highest to hockey fans!? (Terrible back round chant) HITMEN!”

I haven't watched TV in about 3 weeks, but I remember getting pretty tired of that commercial where all those kids are saying slang words for drugs. What an annoying commercial that one is/was.

There is an ad on QR for life insurance that just annoys the crap out of me. The opening line is something to the effect of "Imagine your wife in the hospital dying of cancer".... F***. Thanks for that. Definitely the image that people want to imagine. I bet that turns more people off to that company than it does to draw in business.


For some reason I get a big laugh out of that car commercial with the sumo wrestlers washing the car. I crack up every time when the show those old people just gaping at them.

I love that one. That one guy absolutely smokes another sumo with the wet sponge. Fat guys in slow motion = win.

There's several commercial's that I don't pay attention to because they are either not interesting or stupid.

There is only ONE (series of) commercial(s) that I go out of the way to turn down, or turn the channel for 30 seconds..

HANS from the Saturn Dealership in the Northeast!!!

This guy makes my skin crawl. Who writes the material for these ads? "A lady pulls up and says she wants to kiss my Astra"...?? "No can do, I say" AARRRRGGGHHH!!!!

My dream is for this guy to get t-boned as he "cruises down the Deerfoot". If I knew what he looked like, I would make my way down to Saturn of NE Calgary and wait for the perfect opportunity to kick him in the nuts as hard as I can.

If Hans is a CP'er.... sorry about the rant but you drive me insane. Change your advertising strategy before I burn the building down..

Rant over.

I have a feeling this thread will never die as more and more stupid commercials continue to come out. I still have Pro-Active as my current hate-on. Ugg!

I hate those Reitman's commercials with gender-bending fashion critics and their faux-Danish accents.

A fairly new one that i doubt a lot of people have seen is the Lou Pinella and Ozzie Guillian one that they rap in. Im not sure if its funny or the worst thing ive ever seen yet, but i recommend youtubeing it. I think its for GM or something, and it may only air in the Chicago region. Its surreal.

"He's not growling"
"He's not biting"<------I think that dog treat would beg to differ!

Can't stand those Pedigree commercials.
