I think it's Volkswagen's campaign with the little brats whose parents would give them whatever they wanted when they threw a tantrum, so now they're grown men who think that's the only way to get their way -- but not when you're buying a Volkswagen.

Horrible.

That car commercial with the magic wand really bugs me for one reason: the last scene where the guy teleports himself into the girls' car, the girls' reaction doesn't change. They just keep staring at the same spot. Are they blind? Do they have incredibly slow reflexes? Couldn't the director have told them to act surprised (or at least acknowledge) that a guy just appeared on the seat between them?

Those ridiculous Lux Windows commercials on the radio drive me freakin nuts. Maybe remotely amusing ten years ago when they first aired, not even close now..

"Tell them momma sent you!"

aaarrrrrrghhhhh!!!

The Honda commercial with that song "Hoodie Ninja" I swear it sounds like "Horny Ninja". I walk around at work all day singing to myself that I'm a horny ninja.

Plus that crappy music is playing, then they show the guy touching the stereo and nothing happens. I still hope the song will change every time the guy reaches for the knob.

Agreed. Their whole new ad campaign annoys me.

That cougar dating site ad on the Fan960 is one of the worst ever.

Is that the one that says, "Some things aren't meant to be shared?"

If so, I share your disgust, because of the tongue deal, but also because they refer to the chick as a thing.

Anybody from Edmonton here will know which one I'm talking about.

Team 1260. This ANNOYING commercial by a guy names Russ Dratwa or something like that. Change the station right away. Some financial guy.

God that commercial is bad,you really have to wonder what type of customer Keiths is trying to attract, certainly not women. The product is swill anyway.

Not really an annoying ad but it blew my mind. This morning on FAN 960 I heard an ad for some website where young guys can hook up with cougars. It had like Cougar sound effects and everything - it was amazing.

Cougar Life......heard the commercial yesterday and couldn't believe it.

How does one go about turning "Come be an old whore" into a jingle?

I think the 30 second long song at the end of the ad kills it for me.

The commercial that is grinding my gears lately is the one for Telus Optik TV where the smug frenchshowerbag is demonstrating the PVR and realizes he just installed TV for the guy who "invented" sliced bread.

#1. Even if the dude popped out of the womb and skipped all the bakery experience to invent "sliced bread" he'd be 83 years old as presliced bread was first sold in 1928..

#2. Assuming #1 is correct and the guy invented "sliced bread" he is asked by smug frenchshowerbag if he invented croutons. The guy didn't invent the concept of slicing bread, he invented the selling of machine pre-sliced bread!

Mostly I want to punch the smug frenchshowerbag in the face for being a knownothing twit.

One of the worst ones EVER. AND IT KEEPS GOING - I think it is a minute long.

I can't stand the newest Rogers commerical with the hoebag coming back into the car getting mad at her boyfriend/brother for his dirty ears and fingers. What a pretentious whore.

A new low has been reached with Vagisil's "I found out the hard way" commercial. Makes me wonder what finding out the "hard way" that you have stink lines wafting out of your lady-bits is.

It's so bad, its funny. I don't know if I love it or hate it.

Just saw a commercial where the music is too loud in the teenager's room so the dad goes in there and turns the music EVEN LOUDER, walks out and closes the door!
