tactical

first it was a tactical flashlight
then it was tactical sunglasses
now it is a tactical lighter.
Don't forget, all of these things still work after being driven over by a tactical vehicle

I wouldn't mind the Knightfall commercial but it's playing during every break during Vikings. Every single one!

My pillow commercials lie. It doesn't stay cool and it's no different than any other decent pillow. It's nothing special. Making it worse is my favourite sports host keeps hawking these things. I know you take a cut when I use your name and I did. They've been advertising their special two-for-one deal now for a year yet make it sound like it's a limited-time offer. Please stop.

Just recently saw a westjet one where a travelling business mom takes a stuffed animal that she uses to FaceTime her kid with in lots of different situations.
Sure, in line to board plane and hotel room, ok. But in a boardroom with a bunch of co-workers? I’d hope they did the right thing and fired her for being unstable.

These brick boxing day commercials have a humming bell like sound in the background and it is so annoying, plus the commercial itself sucks, but that sound hurts my ears.

IF YOUR CREDIT IS SO BAD YOUR MAMA WONT LEND YOU MONEY!! WE WILL!!

or

IF YOU'RE ON A FIRST NAME BASIS WITH THE REPO MAN

Seriously pathetic, ridiculously overplayed, and it's killing my enjoyment of FAN960. The worst is when they play both versions in the same commercial break, but not in a row, mind you, they sandwich that ALL RISE!! commercial.

Don't these companies listen to the advertisement before they pay to have it on the air? Do they really like to sound so fricken ridiculous?

Never mind the fact that these types of predatory lenders push people deeper and deeper into debt hell.

The Manulife commercial where the woman burns the roast, then pulls the tablecloth off the table. I hate that commercial, and it seems to show 10 times whenever I'm watching tv.

goddammit, make more than one commercial per year, Telus. just add 50 cents to everyone's monthly bill so that I don't have to watch the same damn animal crawling around to the same damn annoying song every 6 minutes for the entire hockey season.

I want to puke every time that NHL.com shop commercial with McDavid comes on. The part where the guy talks about making more Oiler fans is just so awkward.

"Can't stand" is a strong phrase, I more just find it eye-rolling and uncomfortably awkward: that "This little light of mine", Budweiser red light commercial.

I get how it sounded like a cool idea in the brainstorming room, but it didn't turn out. Everyone seeming so serious and locked in like it's a profound moment, it's cringeworthy levels of corny.

What i can't stand about that commercial is the French line addition (national audience, fine) adds an extra line to the song.

So they go with four "light of mine"s instead of the three, which ruins whatever flow the crappy commercial had going.
