Most Canadian commercials also feature people doing stupid dances for no reason whatsoever.

scotfreeme.bsky.social•13 days ago

Like which ones?

mimo-nielsen.bsky.social•13 days ago

All doordash ads, a lot of bell ads, just to name a few. There's a deodourant ad as well.

I hate those Doordash commercials...they're revoltingly stupid

scotfreeme.bsky.social•13 days ago

Doordash is American owned company. BEC Inc., Bell Canada, was formally part of Bell Systems, a US company. Expect they dragged some of their roots into the Canadian version when it was busted up, back in the 80s.

At least Canada didn't cancel Elmo & Big Bird. That was an American, who can't spell.

You know what, at least it’s honest about who owns this country

I am liking the Tim Horton's commercials about being Canadian, the one with the good music.

My local FreshCo straight up just plays Canadian anthem, in a loop, occasionally interrupted with a simple two-word message: “Buy Canadian”. Very subtle.

Good!

On the bright side, any respite from the endless parade of reverse-mortgage ads is welcome.

I have my VPN in Canada mostly (bike racing in English) and yeah there’s a LOT of stirring emotional music and majestic vistas going on these days. Stuff that in the US is reserved for beer and trucks is like ice cream in Canada now lol.

Oil. It's greener than you think.

Thank you for making me laugh

Well, I hear you are more polite north of the medicine line.

wuhanclams.bsky.social•14 days ago

Pretty pleased that I've lived in this country for 18 years and never really watched Canadian TV.

ericsquair.bsky.social•14 days ago

Well at least no one puts Gretzky in their ads anymore.
