Fido commercials make me think that just maybe DESS is on to something.

Electrical in Indonesia is 127/230v 50 Hz, with a completely different plug. Wonder if they thought about plugging a beer fridge into a foreign electrical system in a hut before they hauled a 100 lb or whatever box across the world.

The one where the guy hangs out with, or is together with or maybe roomates with a muppet character, who shows him how to get a mortgage, like he does it every week or something.

I can't stand that goddamn Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA) commercial.
Lady - you're an accountant, not a Richard Branson / Chuck Norris daredevil flying all over the world in dangerous helicopter rides!
And then at one point, she points to a property and says 'THERE!'. There what?? You're an accountant, not a developer! What the hell kind of hybrid, made-up job do you have?
Get back to your desk and do the frickin' taxes. Stop getting drunk and flying around in helicopters, wasting valuable company time and resources. You're paid to sit at your desk and balance the books, not make important investment / real estate decisions and transactions while putting you and your coworkers in dangerous situations.

How many people actually go to MacDonalds to "watch the game" with their families?

There's an even stupider radio commercial where it starts by asking if you want a fridge like the red one on tv, and then at the end has a disclaimer that says "may not be like one seen on tv"

You seem pretty ignorant about the CPA designation.

Not that I completely disagree with the over-the-top-ness of the commercial, but you do realize a significant number of CEO's of large public companies are CA designated right? So these CEO's should just do your taxes and stop making important decisions and transactions right?

That horrible Martin Short Capital One credit card commercial.
You're not funny or relevant anymore.

Someone at the age in the commercial? Perhaps, but that would be the exception, not the rule. It's over the top and stupid.

The other commercial I hate is that Mini-Wheats commercial.
They're sitting in hot milk, about to be butchered by that damn kid (and two of those pieces of soggy fibres are lusting for each other), and they're all partying! What the hell, get out of there, you're going to die!
Christ.

Can I put in another vote for those awful Spece Diamond commercials on the radio? Shawn sounds like he inhaled a bunch of laughing gas and has deficiencies in basic social skills.

ATB's newest radio commercial with Dave Mowat from ATB, "taking his vows" to Albertans or customers or whatever. Stupidest commercial. Maybe he should hook up with Josh from Spence. Sounds like a marriage made in heaven.
