Really, I don't know. I just hit the mute button when it comes on.

I HATE that one.

They could've picked a mathematical function that actually makes sense...

Can't even remember what the adds for, it just pisses me off.

The guy sounds a little bit like Stewie off of Family Guy. I guess that's part of the reason it made me laugh over and over again every time I replayed it. Another reason I laughed so much was because of the face the guy makes if you pause it at 13 and 20 seconds.

The Bell ads are really bothering me, but not 'cause they're necessarily horribly done or annoying, but probably simply because they are on so friggin' much on CBC.

Oh, so many awful ones right now. McDonalds and Wonderbread for their use of kids. Bell for their dump 'er' campaign. Air Canada's lame ones where they make a huge deal of the fact that they flew the athletes to Beijing, all the while claiming that they aren't making a big deal about it. (Oh god, it's on again right now.)

Really? I think it's a really good campaign.

Yup. I want to kick that girl in the face ----the one that keeps bringing down the other kids. Maybe it's two different girls but those commercials need to die.

I boycotted Boston Pizza because of those awful sasquatch-in-training commercials. I hope you all did the same. Although, how you can downgrade from those creepy Howie Mandell-will-join-your-family-for-dinner commercials amazes me. I'll give them that much.

I'm reviving this thread to announce my hatred for workopolis. The reverse engineering commercials that are getting beaten to death on QR77 are so f'n bad.
The one with the sequence that includes clear your mind, clear your desk, clear your plate is especially bad. It's redundant. It's ######ed. It needs to die.
I'd like to reverse engineer a power drill to the lower spine of the person that wrote that line of commercials.
I'm pretty sure that I'd rather lose all I own and become a bum than get a job off that site.

The kid I want to kick the out of is Mathew who left the laptop in the bathroom. I don't even know what the commercial is for. Laptops?

I cannot stand that commercial for Intercasino or whatever it is, with the little person who dives into the water, onto the jetski, and then onto the boat to drop off the envelope.

I can't stand any commercial on the fan960 tbqh. Telus is REALLY starting to get to me even more. Now they are taking good songs and ruining them on their commercials. s.

I know Subway has got a lot of hate already in this thread, but I don't think I have ever been as annoyed by a commercial as I am by their new Scrabble ad.

Wahts teh naem of our nwe gaem?

A:SCARBLBE
B:SCRABBLE

Wele doen its A: SCARBLBE

Then they show a cup from the contest which says on the side - SUBWAY SCRABBLE

WDF!!! Yes you can unscramble SCARBLBE to spell SCRABBLE, but why is option B the actual correct spelling?

Makes no sense...

This thread should just be a sticky cause people keep reviving it from the past. And there will always be bad commercials.
