I really like that commercial. One of the better ones out there fo sho.

The worst part of that commercial is that it's pretty much the same concept as the Christmas one from last year, except she was looking for her video phone in the closet and gets busted by her parents. At least come up with a new story line.

While I agree that I also hate the presentation offerred in the Rogers comercials, I would have to say the "worst" part about it is they are advertizing something they do not offer. I cannot buy a higher end phone for somebody as a Christmas (or "Holiday") gift.

I've talked to them, the only way we can get her an iPhone is to have her permission for a hardware upgrade, and that also involves extending her contract.

"Merry Christmas Sweetie! Because I love you I got you a long term financial commitment!"

Easily my most hated commercial series, I hate every one of those kids. Plus its hilarious because they're supposed to be in high school, and they're so obviously in their mid to late 20's. I know most commercials/shows do this, but with them its so blatantly obvious. The "kid" with the dark hair has thick stubble!

I absolutely cannot stand the Dodge truck series of commercials. It appears to be various sorts of ‘teams’ of stereotypes of ‘manly-men’ (military, firefighters, cowboys) racing trucks through some kind of futuristic, hillbilly, deathmatch racecourse and then talking about how AWESOME and SWEET the trucks are. Okay, I get it, these are manly trucks, only ‘real men’ drive Dodge trucks, if I buy one my ‘manly-parts’ will increase in size, Dodge trucks are pure testosterone moulded into truck form, Dodge trucks are the vehicular equivalent of strangling a full-grown grizzly bear with a rope that you made from you own chest hair at the same time as bench-pressing two dozen sissy Ford trucks.

Do advertisers really believe that men will self-identify with one of these ‘teams’ and run out to buy one of these trucks? Gee, I was thinking about buying the Honda, but these Dodge trucks can drive through fire... that will come in sooooo handy on my daily commute.

no I'm pretty sure its college, because last year the one guy was going to college and had his 4 friends in my 5 and his mom as the 5th.

The Home Hardware ones are getting on my nerves even though it is so subtle. They aren't outright teeth clenching horrible, but still.
They're the ones that have someone explaining to someone else on how to use a pair of scissors or a flashlight, but it looks like they are explaining rocket science to them.
It's only a pair of frickin scissors dummay.

[Got Miikka?]

Yeah, actually - those Rogers kids. All of them should be poisoned or dismembered.

In the 3 People to Punch thread I'd like to swap out Eric Godard (who, let's face it, would break my face open with one counter punch) for the guy from the Rogers phones commercials who used to have a Sideshow Bob 'fro but now seems to have gotten it under control. What can't be controlled my urge to want to hurt that guy.

Here's your new ad:

Former Fro Dude: Hey it's that blonde girl friend of ours with the really high-pitched squealy voice.
Blonde Girl: Hey guys! Guess what? I rummaged through my parents' closet and found my 'holiday' present from them to me - a new phone! (and contract extension)
Former Fro: Cool. How old are you again?
Blonde Girl: 27.
Former Fro: Cool. So, why do you live at home, and, why are you going through your parents' closet looking for gifts like some kind of snotty little 5 year old punk?
Eric Godard: Hey, fro guy? Can I talk to you for a second?
Former Fro: Yeah sure - what's up? Who are you?
Eric Godard: Just someone who's here to do what a lot of people want to see done. I don't care if I take the instigator for this.
*Fro Guy beaten senseless*
Blonde Girl (in high-pitched squeal): Ohmygodweeeeeeoooooo it's PERFECT!!!!
Other Guy (who has his mom in HisFive): What was that? How you're going to react when it's Holiday Morning and you get your present?
Blonde Girl: No, not at all! I just thought it was perfect that someone finally kicked that guy's ass.

I wonder about this myself and then I think of all the times you see plastic testicles hanging from the back bumper of trucks and I realize ... yes ... yes, many do.

Ooh. I just remembered that I want to punch people that have balls hanging from their trucks in their faces.

^^Edit* did that sentence make sense?

[DuffMan]

Of course, in fact it opens a wide range of possibilities:

1) You want to punch these people in their faces
2) These people all have balls on their faces like Peter Griffin and you want to punch them there

The new scotiabank commerical

That girl is doing a burtal job at acting unless I'm missing something. She puts her arm around the guys arm, and then takes it out, and then puts it back in again. And then AGAIN at the end when they are going up the steps, she puts her arm in the same place, and takes it out while their going up the steps!

Make up your damn mind women!!!

I was just about to come onto this thread. Already tired of it after seein it twice

[Superflyer]

Everytime I see that Rogers chick scream her fake happiness over her gift I want to offer her a cigarette and say was it good for you to?

[Julio]

I want to tell her to date outside her "My 5" so she would either learn to fake it better or not need to...

Yeah! And how come we don't see the "Hairstylists" and "Pastry Chefs" teams featured in that commerical?
