The Great Canadian Annoying Commercials Thread

This thread is for all those obnoxious commercials you’ve seen on TV. For starters I utterly loathed the Bad Boy Furniture commercials, who does worse commercials than Bad Boy? Nooooooooooo Body!

Bill Clinton May like it but I despise it! Almost as bad as Kars 4 Kids.

1-877-Kars-4-Kids, K-A-R-S, Kars-4-Kids. 1-877-Kars-4-Kids, Donate Your Cars Today. As heard on every radio commercial break ever

Well right now it would be any of the political commercials from the various parties in the election. Or from the lobby groups campaigning on their behalf.

I don't have a problem with political parties' campaign ads, but I detest third party propaganda and wish it were gone.

videos aren't working. I haven't seen a bad boy commercial in years. I don't know the other one.

I kept seeing Calvin Klein's Women with Kanye's Runaway playing in the background during the Spring. Thought it was ironic.

The Julia CIBC humming ad ..... people who are on their phone / headphones whist getting served in stores / the bank are the flipping worst.

I also dislike that one (but I'm way not the target demographic), but I love the way all the other people flash her "you are such a tool" glances. It's kind of subversive.

Anything Tim Horton's...especially after the hockey season starts and we get the same commercial 20 times a night for the next 3 months!

These were so bad, and the sad thing is the Cons thought it wise to make new ones with the same terrible actors for this election.

Yup, I loathe their Canadian commercials of canuckian canadiana. Fresh from their HQ in Brazil.

I despise anything Bad Boy-related. I have never seen a commercial but their other forms of advertisement are just annoying with their tendency to feature two orange-skinned ginos and that “noooobody!”, which I also find annoying for some reason. Plus it is not even true as I have seen better prices in other stores.

In Ottawa they have those Myers Automobile ads on the radio with this guy doing a "hoser" accent.

Annoying.

How about this ridiculous ad from CPA Canada that they're constantly bombarding us with as of late? The Youtube comments are hilarious:

Wow, this is much more Canadian than I thought. Tried looking for the STUPID Metrobus jingle video on YouTube. Turns out we just stole it from the mainland.
