Annoying TV commercials during Stanley Cup playoffs - US and Canada

[Gormo]

The Geico Gecko. I just want to smash that f***

How has no one mentioned the "We are good because we believe ugly people should use soap too" commercial?

It would be nice to see my type of ethnics on tv for every commercial; it must be law that only two races are mandatory for Canadian commercials.

"What a pro wants, what a pro needs." A group of people actually sat in a room and talked this one over and thought it was a good idea?

It is this AT&T ad—I love Shai, but not like this:

As others have mentioned, the AT&T one that has 2 NBA stars emasculating themselves by singing a Christina Aguilera song they weren't old enough to remember.

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.

The commercial with the two basketball players singing a stupid song out of tune.

That "what a pro wants" commercial is quickly turning into my least favorite commercial of the playoffs so far.

"What a pro wants, what a pro needs." A group of people actually sat in a room and talked this one over and thought it was a good idea?

This is the runaway winner, and I swear to god it plays every f***ing commercial break.

Indeed. Tony *Hale* is the comedian who was unlaughably miscast in these Verizon ads. Tony Hale is a hilarious comedian at playing timid, neurotic, and sheltered. That they cast him as a smug and smarmy character in these Verizon ads is an absolute miss for his comedy skill set.

I actually like these Nerdwallet commercials with our future old selves admonishing us to invest more wisely.

Yes . He was hilarious as Buster in Arrested D.

DONT LET YOUR FUTURE YOU HATE YOUUUUUUUUUU

Ugh

While it seems we have a runaway winner, I would like to give an honorable mention to the Axe black vanilla commercials.

who watches ads? when ads come on you switch to the BlueJays game or get a drink of something.

I dont think its coincidence that this specific thread exists, since the ads this playoffs have been especially terrible.
When you get hit by the "What a pro wants" ad, then that completely idiotic "Avs couple" ad, then that gambling ad with that gimp who thinks Americans know nothing about hockey in close succession, it can be excruciating if you dont have the remote control.

Victor Hedman is clearing seven figures a year. He does not need to save for college.

Those Dr. Rick Progressive Insurance commercials are just the worst.

The what a pro wants...

These guys aren't NHL players, yet being played to a predominantly NHL viewing audience. Why? I have no idea who they are personally and can only assume basket ball players without getting into stereotypes.

 

[Nuck Bonino]

I have to mute that car commercial with the terrible cover of Dream On every time on Sportsnet

 

[Gnashville]

I don’t know who those 2 pros are or what they want but I want them off my TV!!!

I can honestly say I have never been able to get through that whole commercial without POUNDING mute. It even rivals those ANNOYING BK commercials they keep pounding everyone over the head with.

 

[Mantis]

Any Questrade commercial is pure cringe. Literally all of them.

WHOPPER WHOPPER WHOPPER WHOPPER

For the most part, the common theme of an annoying commercial these days is horrible lyrics and off-key singing. Its probably the same ad agency that needs to be bitch slapped.

 

[Nogatco Rd]

Feel sorry for anyone who doesn’t mute the commercials every time. No reason to allow yourself to be bombarded with 4-5 mins of corporate messaging with no redeeming qualities if you don’t have to.

Mcdavid talking about safe and responsible gambling and how awesome those tools are.

That’s another new low lol.

I think the f***ing boards changing every 30 seconds or whatever is worse. That shit is awful to watch
