I'm sure if you've been watching Leaf games you've noticed that commercial with that dumbass song "Informer". I can't fucking stand that song and change the channel every time. I don't even know the name of the company but do they not realize how despised that song is?

There are many annoying TV commercials. Insurance companies, personal injury lawyers, long term disability lawyers etc.
I change the channel some times. Between them and annoying telemarketers, one gets no peace and quiet during pandemic
lockdown.

Sigh!!!

I still hate those BMO commercials with the smug guy sitting behind a desk. The worst is when the rotten rug rats tell their parents to SPAC, most people don't know what that word means...much less afford it.

If you watch any live sports, you can't avoid these commercials.

They are saying "stat". It is used in hospital settings when a certain tool or medication is needed by the attending Dr. or other personnel IMMEDIATELY for a patient. 10mg of epinephrine, stat.

I had to double check, you were right shack, I thought the little bastards were saying SPAC (Special Purpose Acquisition Company). Doesn't change the fact that everyone involved deserves Monty Python's 16 Tonnes treatment.

I'm sick and tired of hearing the intro music every time a Rogers on Demand commercial comes on advertising their latest movies. It's dozens and dozens of times a day.

The worse one is Waxman's "ding, ding, ding, ding" lets go snow.

Sure Health, ManuLife, Canada Protection Plan are all very annoying.
Also, take one look at Harold's store front jewellery buyer and you still want to borrow money from him with same day money
deposited to your bank? I bet he charges exceeding high interest rates.
I will they will go away and let us have some peace and quiet.

The constant barrage of COVID commercial paid for by the Government Taxpayers of Ontario, the annoying Rogers Sportsnet streaming guy and Arrive Alive Ontario with their commercials with a server cutting people off. News flash - except for a brief period, people have not been able to go out to eat and drink.

It wouldn't be so bad if you saw a commercial once an hour, but we seem to see some of them every other commercial break. So glad I am cutting the cable at the end of the month. Then I'll only see commercial when I watch sports. We have ad blockers for the internet - we need someone that invents a gadget that detects a commercial break and mutes your tv, then unmutes it when the program returns.

I so love my Amazon Prime and Netflix.

Not so much an actual commercial of a product, but how commercials are forced on us, such as Golf Playing Through, using a 60/40 split screen with the commercials being shown on the larger split screen with volume on high and the smaller split screen showing golf being played obviously with no sound and making it very difficult to view who the golfers are and what they are doing, unless you have a 90 inch TV. Just show the gosh darn commercials so I can fast forward them on PVR.

The wrinkle guard commercials are sickening too. If you dont like it, we will give you your money back -- likely false advertising. We should all file for money back
and see if they will stop the commercial.

Gain Fling commercial is bad too. Honey, isnt the dog towel, IS kind of annoying.

There is an annoying drug store ad that has recently been brought back after a long absence. A number of kids are yapping about how wonderful their pharmacist is. "He remembers I'm allergic to amoxa, amoxa, amoxa, amoxacillin!"

Downey's Unstoppable commercial is annoying. They claim this towel has been used and still smells fresh. Who really cares if an used towel smells fresh or not
If it is used, the only thing to do is to throw it into the washing machine.
