Annoying TV commercials during Stanley Cup playoffs - US and Canada

[FriendlyGhost92]

Not playoff related but on the topic of cringey, eye-rolling advertising, I'm pretty sure if PPG doesn't lock down their arena naming rights, Pittsburgh will soon be playing in He Gets Us Arena.

Effective use of your tithe, there.

Nooooooooooo just reading it I can hear the voices

Us Albertans putting up with the insanely stupid ATB commercials with a woman screeching at the end of it.

Do you feel like a robot?

I just saw the ESPN commercial with the Liam Neeson voiceover and I'm annoyed that he didn't say, "Tune in to watch players with a particular set of skills. Skills that they have acquired over a long career. Skills that make them a nightmare for fans like you. If you don't, I will look for you, I will find you and I will change the channel for you."

Mine is the Stamkos/Hedman where Steve say's to Victor he needs to start saving for college for his kid like he doesn't have millions upon millions to afford sending him to college.

 

[NeelyWasAWarrior]

We need this commercial during the NHL playoffs.

The progressive commercials where they debate who is the boss is annoying as well.

How has no one mentioned the "We are good because we believe ugly people should use soap too" commercial?

wtf is this garbage

The progressive commercials where they debate who is the boss is annoying as well.

I don’t mind it, but like with most commercials after seeing it 100 times during one evening of hockey it will fall into the hated category soon

The first time I got high is the only time I ever saw this ad and I still think about her extremely mangled face to this day.

Anyways uh

What a pro easily the worst. I've seen the Nashville catfish ad like 3700 times and I still smile at it though so good job with that one.

The Catfish commercial using a banger classic song ( the original at that, not some obnoxious zoomerfied cover version) makes it good.

Mine is the Stamkos/Hedman where Steve say's to Victor he needs to start saving for college for his kid like he doesn't have millions upon millions to afford sending him to college.

That ad is fine because it’s so quiet and low key you don’t even notice it happening and then it’s over.

The best part about being in the arena for the game is I don't have to hear this f***ing commercial for a night

Yeah, I like that I can leave commercials like that running as background noise. I wish that more were like that because I always do other things during breaks. Many other commercials are too distracting and make me reach for the mute button.

Just based on my avatar & signature, I had to say hello in this thread.

If you're AT&T, how do you have the worst commercial of the year, and a commercial reuniting The Office cast... And you play the bad one 10 times as often.

The one where Liam McHugh said - "we now take you to the Florida-Tampa Bay game, end of Isles-Hurricanes is on TBS" - IN THE MIDDLE OF DOUBLE OVERTIME, WITH NO WARNING.

Couldn't believe it.

 

[Il Stugotz]

I’m the Doc Holliday of muting the “pro” commercial. I haven’t heard that shit in a week

Well you were watching on the wrong channel the begin with.

EVERY. DAMN. COMMERCIAL. BREAK. This cheesy commercial got old real fast.

 

[theaub]

This is Comic Book Guy level of pedantics but the bet365 ad where they've clearly transposed a baseball infield on a full soccer pitch gets me for some reason.

 

[Mr Misunderstood]

Well you were watching on the wrong channel the begin with.

Guess I'll blame that on YoutubeTV. Presented NYI-CAR as being played on TNT, weird.

 

[ruaware41]

No mention of home hardware trying to cash in on the Leafs having a "dewer" in their lineups and making commercials about how they are where "doers go?"

So cringey and pathetic. This is why no one likes to play in Canada

 

[Derailed75]

Bet his Uber spiked his food, giving him food poisoning causing him to miss the last 2 games

This beats out JG Wentworth by quite a bit:

 

[Desert Panther]

You beat me to the joke.

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

This ad takes my top rank for sure as the most annoying. Not even close.
