Annoying TV Commercials - 2023 Stanley Cup Playoffs Edition

[Non Player Canadiens]

Yeah thats the point. If anyone thinks this is to support LGBTQ+, feminism or whatever, then they are dupes. Its like all the companies green washing their exact same products while claiming they are doing any actual work towards a sustainable future. ANd when they do donate to a charity its always for the tax write off and PR. Or in bill gates case, all those free Windows PC he gave to africa was to make sure they get normalized with his garbage software. They might *gasp* use linux which is open source and free of cost.

I hate virtue signalling from any source. Just like the anti woke group boycotting(aka cancel culture) of bud light. Then going out and buying one of AB's other 400 products. One you are a hypocrite for crying about cancel culture and doing the same thing, two its not working because more than likely you bought one of their other products to stick it to Bud!

A Dose Of Buckley did a great one on this last week. And this includes tearing a strip off Devonwhatchmacalit that was doing the bud rainbow ad. Obnoxious personality before and after transition.

So this post probably pissed off 'both sides' of the guns vs gays camps. Meanwhile my group is over here just throwing out actual policy that helps working people instead of dividing them.

Now back to how the sports betting ads should be banned if sports actually ever game a sh!t about transparency or their fans. I would wager they don't given the money involved.

man, that ad really got to you

I find in general that NHL coverage has a huge problem with saturation of the same f***ing ads. Not the same companies, per se, but running the exact same five ads in a loop. What leads them to believe that viewers enjoy this? It has a purely negative effect on me and how I view the companies advertizing their products and services. Just give me some variety.

I loved that Freddie Mercury ad too... the first time. If you're watching a lot of playoff hockey, you want to rip out your eyeballs and pierce your eardrums by this point. We're two games into the postseason.

I read recently that companies play ads several times in a given time frame for purposes of audience retention (I.e. that people remember the company, the product/service)

If the ads aren't bunched together, they have minimal or no effect in the long term

Hey, Sportsnet. The Blue Jay's commercial

That womans voice is the most annoying voice on my tv. I am not kidding when I say, I try to mute it as fast as possible. Just horrible. They've had her announcing next weeks game or something, all year.

Not related to the thread, but this is the funniest commercial I can remember. I have watched this more times than I would care to share.

 

[Bear of Bad News]

The Honda commercial where they repeatedly claim about throughout history, others have claimed that they "can't do" something.

f*** you, Honda. No one thinks about you enough to give a shit what you can or cannot do.

 

[Bear of Bad News]

I do like the Masienda guy - seems genuinely nice and interesting.

A worthy successor to Antonelli's Cheese Shop.

 

[Furio]

TOTS

The Stamkos-Hedman commercial makes me laugh every time.

 

[FlightlessBird]

I have to say I really like the Thornton and PK commercial. I think it’s for Verizon? I like the song, the visuals are nice, and it’s funny.

Edit: iPhone

 

[Chootoi]

The HHOF commercial with off brand Justin Trudeau is wearing out it’s welcome.

 

[Mobiandi]

That Rogers cookie commercial is horrible

 

[MikeyMike01]

The truck commercial with the over-the-top country song

 

[Johnny HFBOARDS]

 

[SUX2BU]

You’re going to need more Tide

- I'm SO happy they stopped playing the mustache commercial every break. You're not even that committed to the idea if it's a f***in CGI mustache.
-The Thornton/Subban commercial is fantastic. I don't even like either of those guys (though I've come around on Subban since he's been in the studio), but great music, good production, great concept, and plays comedically off of a hockey stereotype.
-I hate that Wing Stop commercial. I don't know when it became kind of a fad to have eating sounds in ads, but it's wildly off-putting. The whole mukbang influence makes my blood boil. That shit is just annoying.

The truck commercial with the over-the-top country song

The Dodge, sorry, no longer Dodge, Ram commercial with the clever 'got a heart like truck' line. Yeah, both are horrible, and that's just bad pop music.

“Do you want to have an affair?”

 

[Osprey]

The Verizon's ones always seem really smug.

I was going to say something similar about the current Verizon commercial. I have to mute it because Seth Meyers is so annoyingly smug.

Now that you mention it, it does seem like Verizon commercials, in general, are that way. They tend to have one character who acts proud of himself, if not superior, for switching to Verizon.

"Now that's a brag"

Cringe.

Not sure if everyone is seeing the same commercials I am, but the one with all the young-ish people getting together and making pasta from scratch (like no one's ever done that before - wankers) and then "enjoying" it with Coke....

Coke and pasta? Yeeeech!

 

[The Hockey Tonk Man]

Hfboards phone ads are more annoying than any commercial I’ve seen

 

[Brent Burns]

Kiss the cup + song. Completely takes you out of the competitive aspect.

"Cheers to us we did it yeaaaaaaaaa"

I hate that extra shit
