The grossest ad out there is when the guy dips the chicken finger in ketchup. (Save On Foods)

It is on so, so much.

Every 3rd commercial: "right where i belong!"

Glad this got bumped. It reminded me.

That Jayman "celebrate nothing" themed commercial with the girl receiving gifts. A commercial centered around a child so spoiled, the entire party prays she likes a birthday gift. For whatever reason, it strikes me right in the annoy bone.

Canadian banking commercials over the last few years and a lot of commercials these days that try really really hard at going for the diversity angle by trying too hard. It's not quite 100% of Canadian banking commercials but 80-90+% of them have the same interracial couple discussing financial needs.

I have zero issues with who people want to date and marry but let's get real. The majority of couples aren't interracial and if a financial institution want's to do a better job with their diversity, than actually go with what REAL Canada looks like. Have a variety of couples, sex's and all that. Have 2 visible minority people, have a gay or lesbian couple, have an Aboriginal couple. Have a rural couple as opposed to just city couples. Represent Canada the proper way as opposed to just going with what is considered easy and safe.

The people who live in downtown Toronto and come up with some of this non sense are in such a bubble it isn't even funny.

"ugh this commercial has such an annoying song"

"ugh this commercial doesnt make sense"

"ugh, too many blacks in this commercial"

Everytime I think I just may open up an account at Questrade, one of their commercials pop up during a game and I put those thoughts on hold again. Rinse and repeat. Maybe the ads are successful but using completely ######y characters saying ######y lines to push their services to me is extremely off-putting.

Not a commercial per se, but the computer generated advertisement graphics superimposed on the ice next to the blue lines during games. Last year we had the nice Stanley Cup Playoffs logo and now we get this glitchy visual abortion, incredibly distracting when they sometimes seem to vibrate. The movement draws my eyes and distracts from following the play, I hate it.

Who cares if they technology isn't working properly, get that money. These people suck.

I'm just glad that SN doesn't add the stupid graphics that ESPN/TBS does for shot velocity in the bubble over the net or those overly colorful social media icons at the blue line.

The last thing I want to do is to eat anything after seeing that commercial.

Those commercials during sports, alongside the betting commercials is a pretty obvious tell of who they’re targeting. They want people who are going to trade a lot and essentially gamble, because that’s how they make money.

New one for me- Poshmark and how they keep referring to their app as a "side hustle."

No, unless you somehow have a wholesale connection on clothes, you are taking something you bought for $100 and selling it for $25. While that may be a great way to turn stuff you don't use into cash, it doesn't qualify as a "side hustle."

I find the Rogers “l’ve been everywhere, yeah” ad quite annoying.

Flip side, I could watch the “Liberty Biberty” ad all night, but it seems to be fading in favour of the stupid Lemu Emu ones.

I keep getting internet ads for toe fungus. I don't understand why the google thinks I have toe fungus because I don't, nor have I ever inquired about toe fungus in any way.
