[ForsbergForever]

I know it's well intentioned but the cringe factor breaks the needle right off for me. Am I being too harsh or does anyone else feel this way?

watching colby armstrong on Spittin Chiclets reminded me of Kenny Powers on his first appearance on “Sport Sesh”

Is there a video because typing that sentence into YouTube got nothing

Yes one of the cringiest things ever. Especially when they pan to the people who look like they know they are supposed to be touched but are trying not to laugh

 

[TheDoldrums]

It's brutal. Definitely focus tested internally by an oblivious canadian corporation

Also if I was brought out to a video shoot like that for being an awesome person, I would expect some sort of prize. Instead they essentially get a very awkward high five.

I also tried finding a video to post but there doesn't seem to be anything online. It's for Desjardins Bank and airs on CBC, if that helps.

What are you talking about? The heart celly is fire.

They are the worst. Stupid cellys.

It's cringe worthy just like Armstrong. He sucks.

What the expletive is this bump?

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

[Gordon Lightfoot]

Anything that involves the word "celly"

 

[Bridges31]

Anything that involves the word "celly"

Agreed. It’s the most cringe worthy term in hockey.

Sounds like it's a targeted ad for young people

But since OP didn't give us a link, we may never know!

 

[TheDoldrums]

it's not on youtube as far as I know, some things are too rough for the internet. Maybe the dark web

 

[tarheelhockey]

There was no ad campaign. This is all a viral ad campaign designed to get people asking questions about an ad campaign.

This celly is for you for all that you do

Considering how often that stupid, annoying commercial airs during hockey games, I'm surprised at how impossible it is to find online.

It's like the internet is even embarrassed to be seen showing it.

 

[DitchMarner]

I don't really get why Armstrong is in a commercial in the first place.

What did this guy ever do? Scored 20 goals playing with Crosby once and was a solid middle six grinder in his prime? Meh.

 

[PositiveCashFlow]

unfortunately I can't find the Colby Armstrong one on YT but if you're looking for cringy commercials

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

Colby Armstrong has been trying to be a thing in media for years now. I have no idea why.

Seems like a personable enough guy.

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

“Army” is a dork

 

[Leon Lucius Black]

The best ad from this campaign is the one with Joe Thornton scoring 4 goals and doing his celly.
