If that excellent Transmountain explanation ad could replace the terrible questtrade ads at the same saturation I think we'd be well on our way to a better country. That thing needs to be shown every HNIC, every NFL game.

Someone please pick up that girl on the side of the road.
Looks like her dad is in an Airport, so likely on Wifi rather then the Rogers network himself. And the accurate portrayal is him in a tunnel, as that is what he should usually sound like if on his phone on that network.

Can Buckley's commercials please F the hell off? I'm boycotting. Ditch the stupid loser with the 1960s teacher voice and the pill/bottle costumes, lest I never buy your product again.

It doesn't even taste that bad. I vastly prefer the kind of aspen tree/menthol flavor of it to the sick and weird flavored stuff like Benylin.

Always thought the guy in the gym in this commercial looks like a jacked-up Bryan Cranston in a white wig. Even sounds like him at :37.

My dad gets annoyed with the homeless waitress commercial and says "Why the hell didn't she just eat the whole sandwich instead of just taking a bite?".

There is a planet organic commercial that is just so bad. It seems that the budget was about $25 and it shows. Also the voice does not seem to match the mouth as well as other things. It is just so bad.

Servus Credit Union
Guy owns a pizza joint but is running out of room because it's too busy.
His Servus business advisor advises him to reno an old garage he had his eye on.
What luck he had his eye on it, was too stupid to think of this himself, but had an advisor that knew about it and put 2 and 2 together. Now that's why Servus business advisors make the big bucks

It's not that I can't stand the commercial but every time I see that bullying commercial they play during Flames telecasts I try to figure out the intent of the woman at the end holding up the picture of the girl. Is this the mother of a bullied girl that committed suicide? Is it just a mother holding up a picture of her daughter? Is the lady holding a picture of herself who was bullied as a kid? Is there a back story to this?

The woman is Carol Todd, mother of Amanda Todd, who committed suicide in 2012 after cyberbullying. Her story's widely available.

I figured it was something like that. Now I have closure for this commercial.

The Pizza 73 Winged Box commercial on the Fan. "Empty net tap-in on a line change bud."

Can this new ridiculous "hockey slang" die the death it deserves already. John Oliver could do a "Why is this still a thing" segment on this.

I equally blame those 2 YouTube goofs and Letterkenny.

Worst part is is it doesn't even have anything to do with the rest of the commercial. Just an annoying sentence tacked onto the end like we're just supposed to go "hahaha hockey slang! Let's order from there!"

The guy’s read on Pizza 73’s tagline is so terrible I can’t believe it made the ad.

The tag line is “Mmmmmmade better” (or something like that) — obviously supposed to be like the “Mmm” sound when someone like a tasty food. But the voice over guy just holds the ‘M’ in a monotone. Ruins their whole tagline and doesn’t make sense.
