Agreed, especially the new Pro Glide series. So much douscheyness. If someone caugt me mid-shave in a towel at the gym and started the convo with a "Woooo!" followed by video cameras, I don't think I'd be very open to talking with them.

That said, I do own a Pro Glide.

My most hated will usually consistantly be new Subway & Timmy's commercials whenever they come out, but that Sunlife one is easily my most hated at the moment. I wanna smack those two.

I'll give them credit, they drilled their stupid phone number into my head.

"Call 1-800-267-2 thousand and one! Alarm Force!...Alarm Force is listed on the TSX".

Not that I'll ever ever call them though. If they ever call my house by chance, I'll tell them the only reason why I'm not going with them is because of their annoying commercial.

Well if you use the exact same commercial (minus the intro bit that changes ever so slightly from time to time) for years and years, it's gonna happen. When I first started listening to the FAN in 2003 it was the exact same setup.

Has the time life Nazi commercial been mentioned?

The one where they hype the nazi DVDs as if they are selling Don Cherry's Rock 'em Sock 'em.

It looks like a fascinating DVD set but jesus is that a tasteless commercial.


Ha! It's on Youtube. Just let the classiness waft over you.

"Five, Five dollar, five dollar foooooooootlong"

I hate everything about thee ads:

The song is horrible.
The unhygenic d-bags and d-baguettes who dance in an awkward, rancid manner.

I still eat at subway thou because it is a great deal.

Hate the players, love the game

I know it's been said multiple times, and I've said it before, but I have to again.

Tim Hortons make such awful commercials. The new caramel mocca commercials irritates me to no end.

I mean, who are the people that accept these commercials? Do they have the sense of humor to pull off a sick joke? Or is it their objective to make it so cheesy that it's awful?

Perhaps the same drones who line up at 7:00 AM in the drive thru's to get that crappy coffee?

I get where you are coming from though. I have NEVER ONCE liked a TH commercial. They are all beyond stupid and really are senseless and quite condescending in the way that they think they need to dumb them down so much that us stupid people might get them and think they are funny.

And lucky for us, it looks like it will be on during Hockey games, as it was last night during VAN/CHI. At least that's the first 20 times I got to see it.

Tim Horton's commercials are for the same demographic who liked Corner Gas and watched it every week because it was cutting edge comedy.

The Dynamic Funds one irritates me ("The Single Windsor knot is deplorable") for trying too hard to be different. Trying to pass themselves off as some brash investment firm where they're going to suggest bold and unconventional investments, whereas there more then happy with setting you up with TSFA like everyone else.

The Nazi commercial is pretty graphic, that's for sure..

I think they're trying to pander to the "all ages" crowd. The humour in those commercials are beyond vanilla. It's the kind of stuff my grandma would find "cute".

And since its Super Bowl Sunday so we're sure to see it 500 times today, but the only thing that can save Canadian Tire commercials is bringing back the turtleneck family that one-ups their neighbours. Man did those make me laugh, just so awful that they became hilarious. I was sad when he got the chop.

I think they scrapped that part of the ad, actually...proof that we have it so ingrained that they can raise prices without us noticing?

Only hours until the last time I have to watch a CTV ad featuring a dude in hockey and football equipment running down the street bumping into sh&t..
