The McCain Delicious cake commercial is quite stupid too. They have a little girl saying dad is just dad, she paints his toe nail pink and green.
As soon as I hear about her dads toe nails, I have lost my desire to eat anything. Besides, the cake is not available in any store I look. Why
advertise when the product is not available anywhere in stores.

Does anyone know where the McCain Delicious chocolate cake is available. I might want to try it one day (hopefully no toe nails inside).

The new mans soap ads on Youtube. The dude in them is obnoxious and annoying and I cant skip them fast enough. Completely not thought out campaigning as the ads are clearly geared to women to buy for their partners.

Pretty much all the scotia bank commercials on hockey night in Canada. If they ever show a poor white male kid playing hockey I would fall out of my chair I imagine all the woke downtown Toronto types imagining what hockey is like. .. they have no clue

Magic Windows commercials are pretty annoying too. I can’t seen any benefits using their products. What good is smarter thinking, if the price, service and product benefits are
not right?

You would think when watching Canadian commercials that white people don’t marry each other anymore, that all black people are married to a white or Asian partner, and the same thing is true about Asian women. All advertisers must have got a memo a couple of years ago, because every couple in a commercial now is mixed. I’m not a bigot, I love everybody, I’m just a little stunned by the political correctness or “wokeness” of it all.

I agree The marketers seem to see the world from a woke perspective... everything LOOKS the same.. while they pretend to be different... Maybe they should spend more time outside downtown Toronto to see real diversity... not "by the book" diversity

I was going to comment on this last week but demurred. I was going to say that children of mixed race will be in demand for all of these commercials.

David Skarlar debt solution commercials are also very annoying. His fake accent turns people away.

OLG’s Bingo commercial with crazy women jumping, screaming is really annoying.

Lotto Max professional dream coach preaching a dream within a dream is really stupid.

while most commercials are irritaiting and thats what marketers want....because we seem to notice them and remember the ones that are hated........anyway i have noticed in the last few months many commercials use music from the 60,s and 70,s as background, even some from the 50s,... Canadian Tire have a commercial featuring a Buddy Holly song called Everyday...............

These so called marketers don’t understand the 5 Ws of marketing. They should fire their ad agency.

Have not heard that one, by my first rock and roll idol. One of his best songs. I better go to CTC.

This one by RateDot.ca has got to be the worse and most annoying. It shows 4 cow nipples underneath a car and a guy eating cereal with a bowl and he is squeezing milk out of the cows nipples into his bowl for him to eat his cereal. This ad agency should be fired. Which part of the 5 Ws of marketing they don’t understand. I want to throw up seeing this ad on TV

The new Harvey commercials saying HarvEH burger is Canadian. So what.
Making fun of how we say “eh” and
not why we should buy their burger.

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.

CP
I was actually thinking of buying that. I have T shirts that smell rank even after being washed in hot water with detergent and a little bleach. If unstoppable gave them a few more years of life, I might be in.
