I suppose it's fair to give credit where due... Two of the most annoying ad campaigns seem to have gotten their heads out of their asses and turned down the suck. Spence and Crowfoot Dodge, thank you. Spence no longer sounds like the cheese-dickiest jewelry shop, and Crowfoot Dodge has leapfrogged up the totem pole, and put Marty Giles back in his place as the worst hawker of vehicles by ad.
Meanwhile, Lux windows maintains it's status as the worst advertiser of construction materials. Their ads have always been terrible, going way back to the Lucia days, but they're much, much worse lately. Stupid songs, the crying window rancher, and so on.
Doug Lacey's all thing's basementy. Putting the Y in basements. Over and over and over. I will never call you Chad. Ever. Especially now that you've put your daughter Madison on there.
Nothing in the commercial world picks me more than business owners or managers doing the ad themselves. Or worse, putting their dumb little kid on there thinking they sound cute and will just do the trick. They don't sound cute, they suck and sound annoying as hell. Stop with the kids, the ads are bad enough without 'em.
The Murray sisters can beat it too.

I can't stand the new RBC investing commercials with the guy on the laptop. That guy really pisses me off. I'm not familiar with actors but I know he is popular from tv or movies but I don't know which ones.
There's a Skip the Dishes ad with some celebrity I'm supposed to recognize pretending to be Canadian and getting called out by his annoying boy-servant. Get it?! He likes poutine and hockey! Canadiana!

I love that ad.
On the other hand, I hate those 'progressive" commercials as well as the BFF Wayfair commercials.

Whatever financial services company runs the "ask tough questions about your money" ads. At first they had a point about people analyzing the investment fees vs returns but now it's just bad actors flipping out on people for common turns of phrase.
"You'll see the returns in time; it's a long term game"
"It's not a game...it's my retirement. It's my family's future"
Holy crap beardo calm down, the guy made a completely valid statement about investing illustrated by an idiom and you're trying to tone set him over that? He obviously knows your retirement isn't another version of donkey Kong 64. Relax. Or
"I really don't think pulling out your money is the best move"
"Best move for who? Best move for you??? Or for my family??"
Probably both lady jeez. You're mad dawging this guy for giving an opinion.
This...a thousand times this...
