Annoying TV commercials during Stanley Cup playoffs - US and Canada

[McPoyle]

The quest trade ads showing 20 somethings close to retirement because they don't have any fees.

 

[Dr Pepper]

This beats out JG Wentworth by quite a bit:

I have to change the channel every time I hear that stupid jingle start up, on the radio.

Can't say I've ever seen it on TV, maybe it's only aired in the US.

I was curious what the general reaction is but sure enough they turned off the comments. Gosh, I can't imagine why.

Gotta be one of the worst commercials ever made. Counter-productive, too, because I know I'll never use that service. I don't care how many jewish kids want to go to summer camp.

The organization is from Lakewood, NJ. That’s all you need to know.

Oh I know. Gone down the rabbit hole on that company once or twice already, just out of morbid fascination.

Talk shit about JG Wentworth but I haven't seen that commercial in ages and I still randomly think "I HAVE AN ANNUITY BUT I NEED CASH NOW!"

100%

I f***ing hate that song and agreed that the radio commercials are even worse

We might have a winner already for the most annoying

​

Aren’t all commercials annoying?

 

[Dr Pepper]

Aren’t all commercials annoying?

No.

Some are amazingly done, and not overplayed to the point that threads like this are even necessary.

 

[tfwnogf]

A PREPOSTEROUS AMOUNT OF PANOS

 

[Lt Dan]

The commercial is not overly horrible but the Amazon commercial with Chicago's 25 or 6 to 4 play so often that the Mrs is wandering around Dan Manor singing it and then launching a profanity laced tirade.
Good times

But when someone just wants to bring in a box of waffles...

 

[HockeyVirus]

I still laugh at how tone deaf the Boston Pizza commercial asking Canadians to cheer for each others teams is.

Like asking a Devils fan to cheer for the Rangers or a Sharks fan to cheer for the Kings

 

[Arthur Morgan]

how about all of them

 

[Summer Rose]

TNT's commercial for Naked and Afraid XL is irritating.

 

[bov]

The one with SGA and Chet Holmgren that's on every 2 seconds

 

[12ozPapa]

No.

Disagree. They are all absolutely horrendous and a constant annoyance.

I got roped into eating at a boston pizza a few weeks ago and I'm ashamed. It's some of the worst food I've ever paid for.

 

[Quinning]

I have to drive for this entire period.

 

[Praetorian Caps]

The Sportsnet UFC commercial is pretty annoying.

"Fighting is life. Everyone gets knocked down, but fighters get back up. Adversity is the path to glory..."

And I actually like UFC too.

I've been fortunate enough not to have seen that commercial yet. Though I may have jinxed it?

877 cash cow!

I hate that commercial with the song Nothing's Going to Stop Us Now by Starship.

Liked the song a little bit when it came out but now I hate it. Definitely not one of the 80s finest songs and certainly doesn't go with hockey.

All the sports betting ads. Especially how it's all integrated into sports shows, intermissions, and even play by play guys talking odds and spreads during telecasts. This goes for any sport, not just hockey.

It's demented. It's bad enough the sport is amped up on promoting gambling, but kids are watching too. And you got guys like Gretzky and McDavid promoting betting sites is icing on the cake.

The worst is when any host or analyst (NBA on TNT is the worst when the guys talk at intermission) where they talk bets and even give their opinion on mid-game over/unders. Ridiculous. You can tell they dont even care about, but the advertising agreement must say some people on stage have to talk bets and spreads. So just give some lame predictions to cover the clause in the contract.

Anything for a buck.
