There's too many goddam McCain's ads on tv. I'm fed up with 'em! The ads are always the lamest, and they run 'em a thousand times a day! Now its that Texas pizza one, with the cowboy singing to the girl he wants to bang...
I'm tellin' you, people, I've had my fill of these unbelievably lame ads...
Remember the one with the girl playing violin while the guy bings away on the glasses-used to drive me crazy!!!

I doubt we can get McCain's to stop advertising altogether, but maybe with a little public pressure we can get them to switch ad firms or something...

So please vote, and eventually I will send the results off to McCain's World Headquarters in Florenceville N.B.

The ad must be working. See Freaker, from them making annoying ass commercials, they just got you to spread their name around the internet. They got you to talk about it, so they achieved their goal. See, over here in BC I only see that commercial (or other McCain ads) like maybe 1 commercial out of a hundred. So I am going to vote No because their ad campaign works.

I'm betting Freaker watches a lot of CBC. Every ad break on the main station and NewsWorld has at least one McCain's commercial. Sometimes you get the same one twice in the same break. It drives me batty.

Check out the pizza in that Texas commercial too. It looks like they didn't bother cooking the damned thing. If they can afford all those commercials why the hell can't they afford a food stylist? And what's up with the bags in the french fry commercials? They look like friggin' pillows. You never stuff a product bag so it looks fake like that for a full shot, you want it to look like the best version of what the customer will purchase. Over-stuffing is for flyer shots where all you want to feature is the packaging.

I'm with Freaker on this one...they should at least switch to an ad agency that's competent.

I hate all of their pizza commercials, but I think the cowboy one is the worst. They make me want to not buy the product the ads are so annoying and dumb...

The "swiffer" ads?
There allmost as sickening as the "gap" commercials.

So stop watching the freakin' tv and get a life.

As I pass the tv at work I sometimes notice what is on the CTV Newsnet which is always on there. I have noticed a series of ugly Brother commercials. The latest is the worst, as if to imply that we have some hospitals that aren't 'advanced'. I shall never purchase Brother products.

Except the funny commercials that are about one out of every thousand, they all piss me off. I'm not a sexist, but the feminine hygiene commercials have to be stopped before McCain's. You don't see 50 commercials a night for Male Jock itch spray, so why do we have to see commercials for the worlds best douche, or Maxi Pad? Strange world we live in.

I love the funny ones, but they are not common enough eh? I also love the Molson commercials...which are also few lately.

Very True.

I love medication commercials however. Especially ones that go like this...
"Do you suffer from aching feet? Well, take FeetHurtNoMore, and all your foot aching problems will be solved!"
"(Caution, may cause stomach and small intestine bleeding, dry mouth, nausea, diarrhea, constipation, runny nose, coughing, fever, malaria, small pox, Hepatitus A B C and D, blindness or paralysis. Do not take this product within 36 hours of breathing, eating, drinking, blinking or talking.)"
"So if your tired of your feet hurting, take FeetHurtNoMore!"

Yeah, those commercials really make me not want to get sick. "If you take any of our drugs , we'll make sure you feel worse than you did without our medicine","You have a headache? well now you have irrectile disfunction, irritable bowel syndrome and acid reflux", " So check with your doctor and get him to prescribe our drugs!!!".

I hate all but a few commercials.
Beer ads are the best of the lot but does anybody else find it odd that A beer commercial can do more to bring the country together ("I am Canadian") than all the millions wasted buy the CRTC and The Heritage Ministery.

Yeah that is scary Dan.

But in my opinion, the two commercials that need to stop are the McDonalds ads with the "I'm Lovin It" jingle. Nothing good can come with a jingle taken from a Justin Timberflake song. Also, the Candian Tire song needs to stop. I hear it everywhere. They even have it on their goddamn radio ads.

I think the two best commercials I have ever seen are both Nissan ones. They were both on about 7 or 8 years ago. One was set to Van Halen's cover of "you really got me" and it involved a male doll cruising around and eventually ending up at Barbie's toy house. With the aid of the Nissan car, he steals her away from a distraught Ken. The other involved a flock of pigeons trying to crap on cars all the while flying to the the Top Gun theme song and using military lingo (i.e "Roger Dirty Bird, make it messy). Of course, the Nissan car outruns the fusilade of crap.

This has to be the best commercial I have ever seen.
Enjoy!

Honda commercial

That is very cool, Ziggy.

   



Dan74 @ Tue Jan 11, 2005 7:54 am

That is amazing Ziggy

When it first came out on the web the sites hosting it would go down from the traffic. I dont know if it even aired on tv but as far as advertising goes it hit the target.

Now those stupid Mc-cain commercials for the rising crust pizza where the kid has a sunburnt face from stareing into the oven are brutal.They must be useing Larry Tate's company to come up with these ads.



remember bewitched?
