Agree. But, while I dislike them intensely, it's possible to largely avoid gambling commercials.

What I loathe and despise with the intensity of a thousand burning suns is the embedding of gambling culture directly into the broadcasts. It's hard for me to even imagine the justifications Cabbie had to sell to himself to take the career path he has taken.

No other commercial exists, after gambling commercials. i'm sorry. Its the toe fungus commercial. They always seem to have it on during the dinner hour like god damn, just trying to have a nice dinner with the family and hockey in the background and we have to look at Mr. Thompsons' ugly ass toes.

Grates me every time. Not even only because of how disingenuous it is but having to hear the old and 'sold out' voice of the once great Chris Cuthburt is a real shot to the kidneys. RIP


Edit: also the heir to the 'Boston Pizza' fortune also happens to be the GM of the Maple Leafs - so there's that as well.

People actually watch tv with commercials?

These commercials are extremely cringe. None of them make me want to buy their products. In fact, for the first time in my life, i'm indifferent to this corporate salesmanship.

I have become very selective with what companies i give my money to and it feels GOOD.

The bet365 “we want u to play responsibly” and BP “let’s root for Canada” ads made me wince.

BP? As in British Petroleum? As in "We're sorry ..."?

BP, as in "Boston Pizza" - a Canadian chain-restaurant founded by a Greek immigrant in Edmonton (no relation to the city of Boston at all).

No not bingo, just gambling.

You beat me to the joke.

As for me, the bad singing in the AT&T "What a pro wants" commercial really irritates me.

Ad breaks would be 100x more entertaining if they put on some of the classic NZ ads tbh.

Go with the Toyota bugger ad, the Mitre 10 sandbox ad would be must haves, It'd also go with Tip Top, togs ad,

In hindsight a lot of our govt ads are pretty intense.
