Those BRICK ads with the really annoying stock boy with the glasses, yellow shirt and clipboard should rank up there as amongst one of the worst right now.

Any Labatt Blue Commercial

The worst one has got to be the drunk guy trying to dance with the hot blonde in the pink dress.

Vancouver - sort of
The "zoom, zoom" kid can be pretty annoying too.

You just missed it
I hate most political adds because you can tell how much BS they put into it and how much they like to talk down to the viewer. I also include trade union adds in here as well because they are political.

I think it is the series of McCain's Pizza ads that show people "growing up Italian" and eating McCains frozen pizza at family get togethers. Not bloody likely!!!

Any Ad. that runs 2 or 3 times within a 5 minute span.....Jeez..don't they have any more sponsers !!!

Even if it's a good/funny Ad. it gets pretty tired by the 3rd time around..

How about those ads that spew out the same old, tired cliches of the Canadian lifestyle, like the little brat playing hockey on the frozen farm pond and becomes an NHL star and yawn yawn yawn yawn. Canadian Tire and Tim Ho-tons are especially guilty of milking this to death.

Sorry carlotta, I gotta disagree with you on the Motts commercial... I really dig it! The first time I saw it I was laughing my ass off.

I do agree with sushiman. Get rid of that zoom zoom kid, he's driving me nuts! :mad:

What about those 'system saver pellets', 'you got to get the good one'? Does anyone here even know what these are used for?

The worst I can remember is an oldie by Playtex Maxi Pads in which the words deororant and deodorancy were mentioned NINE times in thirty seconds. During dinner time, incidentally.

The worst commerical ad that I've seen is Dodd's furniture in Victoria where he always ends up saying I won't be undersold. Geez, I could strangle that guy.
