These car commercials where they show they can go off road and handle any conditions. Then they show them on a perfectly level and cleared dirt road with no ruts or pot holes. Wow that is so amazing!
I find Nissan is the worst for this especially with this new lampton legend one. She goes up a small hill with some snow on it and she is revered through out the lands about how she makes it up this small hill and waits until the last second to swerve around the tow truck.

Also CashKai or whatever is the new worst name for a vehicle

SUV commercials are inherently silly as they always like to tout the off-road capabilities showing people head into the forest, up mountains, etc when 95% of these vehicles purchased never leave paved roads.

The Drive Nation commercial that seemingly plays every break on Sportsnet is so annoying it makes me rage every time I see it.

I quite enjoy the Sun Life commercials with the granddad and the granddaughter doing the dance.

The old boy has some good moves. Makes me smile every time.

Even if they do have extra clearance or upgraded suspension for offroad, which most don't, 95% of that extra capability it still soley tires, and nothing outside of some off road specific models of trucks, is there anything but all season tires standard on these.

Same goes for snow and ice, obviously. While hestiste to say all 4wd systems and transfer cases are the same (our f150 in 4a mode is nowherre near as good as previous GM vehicles), they are all generally the same, and the stock tires would be below average (worse so if they have the low resistance all season tires that manufacturers are adding as cheaper and saves fuel economy by 0.1 mpg) in those conditions.

"Our Santa Fe has 263 000 kilometers on it"

Is that supposed to be some kind of impressive amount?

I really can’t stand the voice of the girl in all the Fan960 ads. I don’t know why but every time she says “Hey did ya knowwwwwww” it just bugs the crap out of me.

The newer Matthew Mcconaughey Lincoln commercial where he goes over to some other rich millennials house and regales with tales over dinner, and then notices the pool table on the way out. He proceeds to shoot some highly professional pool shots while everyone stays in a hallway watching him and muttering about never seeing things like that before, but he has, in his Lincoln.

stupid commercial.

Colin Jost had a joke on SNL last week about how this guy was caught having sex with his car - and how this is like every Lincoln commercial with Matt.

For a Sante Fe? Probably.

This CPA commercial is so bad. No you do not influence every company out there, you do not make every company hip and cool. The one that gets me the most is the Fight Cybercrime line, I have found that accountants are the worst when it comes to this, they are by far the most likely group to fall for it or click on shady links in emails.

Every new car commercial involves a cute couple standing 50 m away from the vehicle, while they make comments about the car.

And it's almost always an interracial couple I've noticed. Which is fine, it's just funny because you know it's just a box to tick

I have noticed this more and more. There was one commercial that I cannot remember what it was for now but it was something like a white father, black mother, Asian daughter and I would guess an Middle Eastern son in a wheelchair. I mean that checked every box.

missed the son and his husband, then it was a jackpot.

I see a lot of same sex couples in commercials these days too, not that there is anything wrong with that. Just seems like everyone is doing it.
