It's funny. If you wtch the Rochester channel you get Tim's commercials and they're actually fine. The focus on the products and have zero kitch. Why Tim's thinks kitch is what Canadians like is beyond me.

You could always right click and ignore images from___ in Firefox (maybe IE too) and you wouldn't have to see his yummy spider. MMMMmmmmmm tarantula........

not sure what you're talking about there. I've only ever had 2 avatars on here; the geico ghecko with a "no fat chicks" symbol on him, and now Steve Harris as a skeleton. Not sure what you guys were seeing, but that's all I've ever had

Watching Spike tonight and realized that the commercials that are on (repeatedly and often) are the same ones they've had on for as long as I can rememeber. The best of commercials reach a saturation point and become irritating at some point, these ones became irritating a few years ago. The Darth Vader golfing, the ewok ball throw, the get more action, Mattingly and the play ball with your kids ad; the list goes on and on. It's about time guys, get some new commercials!

For sure on the Panago guy. WTF, are you a chef or a friggin' construction worker?

The entire Telus campaign needs to be torched as well. WTF do hippos and a rendition of "Splish Splash" sung by a lispy ###### have to do with mobile service?

Ah my bad, I was thinking of a poster with a very similar name to yours then. The dude with the avy of a young girl with a massive tarantula hanging out her mouth. Absolutely disgusts me, I can't even look at it.

Haha well then thank you for sending it to me via PM. I opened it and before the page loaded I saw the title "Crispy Badger profile", and quickly closed it. Ya that's why I got confused with the names, I knew it was Crispy______. I don't think I've ever fully read one of his posts before, because as soon as I see the pic I quickly scroll down. Arachnophobia's the worst.

any tim horton's commercials

"...english muffin? English muffins! English muffins!!!"

[wooohooo]

I used to not mind commercials but I'm just seeing the same commercials over and over and over again. I now just wait the hour or whatever and watch it through 'other' means.

[Cheerio]

The super 8 motel ones that have been playing for about the past 5 years where theres the sign in the guys driveway. So... Much... Hate..

[Superflyer]

On the radio the ones about a "Talent Agent" that is in town for one day and placed "guy in background #4" in that movie\show you have heard of. Call now (insert phone number here), (insert phone number here again) (insert phone number here again) (insert phone number here once more) (insert phone number here just for fun) (insert phone number here why not)

A bunch of people out camping and they are sitting around eating MacDonalds, while a bear walks through their campsite.
I've never seen anyone go for Macdonalds take out and bring back a bunch to a campsite.

Dumbest commercial ever! The first thing i thought when i saw that is wow even a bear thinks macdonalds is nasty, probably wouldn't even eat the people as they've been mctainted too

You've tried the McDLT and the McRib. Now try McDonald's newest burger sensation- the McTaint.



(Or is the McTaint really just a 1/4 pounder with a more honest name to it?)

I'm so sick of Crowfoot Ford's radio commercials. "Erin" and her dumbass dad seem to think it's important for everyone to know about their lives in order to sell cars. I hate them and will never buy a vehicle there.

[dissentowner]

The Cialis commercials with the girls singing about what time of day they like to play. The song is bad and catchy, I hate it.

[dissentowner]

Oh and the most annoying commercial right now is the current ad for A&E's new show Obsession. 123...123....123...123...123....SHUT UP!

[johnnyluv]

Easily the ad for the Tim Horton's Mocha Ice Cap. The "Awesomer!" friend is a real plug - I would have dropped him off a bridge on the way out to the cabin. Also, any car commercial that cuts between 5 or 6 people talking about why this particular automobile company is so great. Peer pressure is a wonderful tool.

[Methanolic]

This has never happened to me before.

That scotiabank add where the guy with the moustache is sitting in the stroller and he says "Is there an Issue Papa?" .... used to drive me nuts!

....For some reason, I now find it very funny.
