Annoying TV commercials during Stanley Cup playoffs - US and Canada

[hangman005]

The AT&T one from March Madness with the two people singing out of tune was terrible, and somehow conveyed over to the SC playoffs.

It's a shame because the original song they're singing is pretty good.

Be thankful they didn't get me to sing it, I think it would have retroactively ruined the song.

No mention of commercials with "ADORABLE" baby talk, like Haribo or this gem.....

BP “let’s root for Canada” ads made me wince.

Imagine a lower middle class restaurant chain trying to sell their product my basically saying, "Yeah Canada, we're desperate for a Cup".

BP, as in "Boston Pizza" - a Canadian chain-restaurant founded by a Greek immigrant in Edmonton (no relation to the city of Boston at all).

Apparently the founders favorite team was the Bruins hence the name. But ya, Boston Pizza, New York Fries, Montana's, Eastside (NY) Mario's....all Canadian companies!

The Fan Duel commercial using hockey slang as if it was super cool rather than insanely lame slang used by middle class white kids in small town Alberta.

 

[I am not exposed]

Yeah that Boston Pizza one is really annoying. Why are they so adamant about getting rival Canadian fans to support all Canadian teams. Such a weird thing they keep trying to shove down peoples throats here.

Could be worse... could be Boston Pizza

Lol well in all fairness, we are talking about it just like they want us too

Last year, for a brief time after the Leafs advanced and Boston didn't, Boston Pizzas around here starting referring to themselves as "Auston Pizza".

Surprised they haven't brought that back this year, at least during the series.

Then again, Boston's got no qualms about playing all their games at "Toronto Dominion Garden", so I guess they're even.

The Skip commercial with Leon Draisaitl in it. We don't need to see this over and over again.

I think it’s fantastic.

Damn, I can't believe the Italian joint that has everybody doing awful fake accents in their commercials isn't authentic.

I don’t do any commercials. PVR all 4 games or use sportsnet app. Watch period one of the first game, watch first period for second game, back to the first game for period 2. Ect

Watch every minute of every game and get to skip commercials. Was only about 10 minutes behind the oiler game lastnight when all said and done!

Uhhhh except the point is that all these Canadian chains are named after American locations.....

I find it hard to believe that playing a 40-year-old Bronski Beat song is going to get me to switch over to Scotiabank. Bronski Beat are richer than they think with the residuals from all those times the ad plays.

Leave Buster alone, he has been through enough!

 

[Lt Dan]

Just wow..

 

[SillyRabbit]

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.

Ford talking about reliability on vehicles that average a recall every few years.

I do NOT for the life of me know what the BetMGM commercials are about. None of what they say makes any sense?

This is BY FAR, the best commercial ever in playoff commercial history:

 

[Derailed75]

The Jason Sudeikis Taco Bell commercials are beyond cheesy and should be classified as crimes against humanity

They are not even note worthy. I mean sure they aren't good but they are far from "cringe/ complain" about level.

 

[Mido]

Sportsnet TV ads that tell me to drink and gamble, and then Sportsnet radio post game ads that tell me to head down to the strip club after.

 

[Derailed75]

Im just pissed that ESPN decided to only broadcast their feed and took away the teams home/away feed for the playoff teams when games airing on ESPN. Bucci screaming into my living room is annoying.

This so much. You remember people used to complain about Doc Emerick and Shaun McDonough

Dude they are six year old humor

Literally, "liar liar pants on fire. "

Yeah I get it, they aren't good. There's just do many so much worse.
