representative summer lee has a campaign ad thanking herself for doing stuff. literally "thank you summer lee". it ran 2 times every break yesterday.
The Geico horns ad is so trash. The geico Will Arnett and lizard ad also trash. The geico walrus, always good.
Listening to basketball players sing what a girl wants terribly - trash.
Those BK signing commercials on every espn+ break.

Imagine having friends as smug as those on questrade commercials? 30 years old and talking about retirement planning around the campfire

The root for Canada Boston Pizza one is by far the worst

This thread reminds me of the old forum commercialsihate and for that reason it's great. Seconding all the gambling ads, but the McDavid CIBC is horrendous. Conor is a godawful actor.

The Greens (the Hobby Lobby guys) desperately needed to boost their social credit scores. Unfortunately, they chose to do it in the most obnoxious, bizarre way that anyone could possibly imagine.

There's a sports interaction ad where they are interviewing Americans about hockey. The line is something like "Americans don't know anything about hockey, why would you bet on their sports book" that's exactly why I'd like to bet on their sports book

I saw that ad once and it was one too many times.

Every Quest Trade commercial ends with me wanting to punch the lecturing douche bag in the nose.

Don’t see any ads, start the game 40 minutes behind, and just skip them, so no break in the action.

I'd have to hide my phone too because people text me about the games incessantly.

Ya I don’t look at my phone during the game, unless need to google something unrelated to game, game is much better skipping over ads,

Meanwhile, the little kids who saw them that had parents who went to work in restaurants, construction, etc, wound up being medicated and in counselling for extreme separation anxiety until they were in their 30s.
Well done government.
I know my son was about 2 when they were airing and they scared the shit out of him.

Yep, after seeing each one once I knew to flip the channel as soon as I saw it again. But I remember there being some vitriol aimed at the CRTC for airing these shock-value commercials during the day or, like you said, when little kids would be watching them.
Not a great look by any means, which may have been why the campaign was scrapped.
They're the absolute worst.
"That's.....ridiculous!"
"Ridiculous would be knowing that, and NOT switching!"
There's three or four of these smarmy ads getting that very heavy Sportsnet rotation and I gotta say they're some of the worst ads I've ever seen.

Bell Canada recently ran a Halloween ad campaign about terrible cable being like a haunted house with evil clowns jumping out of nowhere and ominous red light permeating the home.
It's all just a dream, and he rolls over to find his wife in clown make-up in bed next to him.
My toddler son screamed every time he saw that commercial, which would run about 800 times a day at all hours.
Ok, fine, a little supervision warranted.
My beef is that they kept running it for weeks after Halloween. Thank you Bell.

Yep. He's pretty annoying.
And, elephant in the room, no one wants to admit that he'd get the same exact answers if he walked through downtown Toronto and asked enough people those same questions. But sure, hooray for selective editing! The "Rick Mercer" special.

"Please, Quest Trade is EASY!"
(subtext: my brother who doesn't use Quest Trade is a total and absolute moron!)
"You're not still using Mom and Dad's guy, are you?"
(subtext: I pity your stupidity even though we're related, plus boomers are funny and out of touch)
