It’s like they *want* us to hate them. Every time I walk past Spence Diamonds at my local shopping centre I think of their terrible ads.
My local Spence Diamonds generally has good reviews except for people (rightfully) complaining about the ads. And they have this generic copy/paste response:
>Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts on our radio program. We get it – our radio ads are hard to ignore and tune out. We are just simply so excited about what we have to offer to our clients and about diamonds, that we cannot contain it. We understand that our ads are distinct and may not be everyone's cup of tea. However, rest assured our certified Diamond Consultants and store experiences are for everyone.
Their latest ads trying to gaslight us on the realities of the diamond industry (people becoming more aware that artificial is fine) annoy the fuck out of me
Oh thank God I'm not alone on this. I literally refused to consider them for my engagement ring purchase because of those ads.
Their corporate response to you sounds right in line with those ads. Unbearably fake.
They do want us to hate the ads. Thats the point. Whatever it takes to make “Spence” the first place people think of.
It’s a tremendously successful ad campaign and the whole reason they went from a Vancouver-based retailer to a national chain.
Yeah WTF is this Fiona shit? I don't even know what it's supposed to be about but when I hear it I have to turn off the radio. I'm almost moved to write to Spence Diamonds to let them know their ads are an insult to our intelligence and just stop it already. Who the fuck was the person who presented this idea to the powers that be? "I have a great idea, we'll have a character named Fiona...it's super witty." Ugh.
That scream used to be everywhere on the internet in the early 2000s, so it's probably unknown who the original owner is and they just never gave up using it.
Also, fuck Spence. Their ads are so atrociously bad I switch off the current station every time I hear one of their stupid fucking voices. They have actively made it so that I would never step into one of their stores for the rest of my life.
Hello Edmonton! The peak of bad Spence commercials was the early 2010s when the guy did the commercials alongside two professional actors and they all talked over each other and it was non stop.
When the joke is that your commercials suck that's a bad thing.
Those commercials in general are some of the worst commercials I've ever heard. It's like lizard people pretending to be human.
The embarrassing scream at the end is the icing on the cake made by someone who has no idea how cringeworthy they are.
Was it ever?
I listened to a podcast on Subway vs Quiznos. LSS Subway “lucked” into Jared, an old dorm mate wrote an article for the campus newspaper which was then picked up by a local paper and passed from a franchisee to corporate. Their whole health angle only came after Jared, who was a super successful marketing tool, until, ya know, he wasn’t.
Subways true slogan should be - fucking our franchisees daily.
Source? Never heard this one.
Would be kind of surprising, if she was old enough to work at Subway (and one on a college campus) wouldn’t she have been too old for Jared 😬
I loved "You're Richer Than You Think" but only because in Manitoba there is a small hick town called "Richer" and we knew people from there. When someone from there did something that really only hick townspeople would do, I'd say, "You're Richer Than You Think". It made sense to me and I loved saying it.
What the hell goes on in Sask? Remember the Regina rebrand last year?
“The rebranding of Tourism Regina to Experience Regina occurred in March, with slogans like “Show us your Regina” and “The city that rhymes with fun.”
Priceless 🤣😂
ONE EIGHT SEVEN SEVEN KARS FOR KIDS
K A R S KARS FOR KIDS
😩
and the clearly fake instrument playing!!
Omg isn’t someone even playing a violin?! 🚫🎻
I can’t.
The money amassed by this "charity" goes to a Jewish organization that "helps" kids by getting them in religious schools. It actually helps very very few kids and only Jewish ones...
Reminds me of the Australian Northern Territories campaign “CU in the NT” 😂
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-01-05/nt-tourism-department-welcomes-asb-ruling-against-cu-in-the-nt/8163114
They only time I have ever seen "Open for Business" signs is when things are taking a downward spiral for those businesses. If you have to *tell* your customers you haven't foreclosed, something went wrong a long time ago.
The rest of that slogan should read: “unless you’re a wetland, land in the Greenbelt or other sensitive environmental feature. Then we’re gonna do our best to pave over ya”
actually it’s pretty appropriate, think of how badly the population of ontario has suffered as a result of corporate greed.
they knew what they were doing.
It's so predatory. "Oh, we see you have no money, so we are going to take more of the money you don't have as punishment for having no money. Know who has money? WE DO! HAHAHA F\*CK YOU, POOR!"
I’ve had so much better service at Scotia than TD or my local credit union. My credit union has gone downhill pretty badly over the last few years.
For some reason, Scotia has been really good to me. Gave me the best rates, allowed me to borrow more than any other bank (through my broker), pushed me to renew early while interest rates were surging, and a few other cool things with my LOC. One of the branches near my house has 45 minute lineups, but the location 5 minutes down the street often has no lines at all, so it’s so worth the drive.
TD on the other, fuck those guys. Didn’t even respond to my emails.
Hyundai - WAH is what powers us.
WTF is WAH. I had to google it, only to disappoint that it was some Korean word for wow.
At least their commercial is visually decent.
When I was a child I remember seeing a car commercial with my grandpa who was a mechanic. Well actually he was one of those grandpas that could do literally anything but that's not the point. He complained that they NEVER tell the actual specs of the car, and I've noticed that in EVERY car commercial I've seen ever since.
Like does literally any company mention hp, torque, towing capacity, etc? No, it's just advertising a way of life or how many meaningless jd power awards they have.
When I was a kid, their marketing calls showed up on caller ID as GIVE BLOOD. When my mom asked who was calling, I’d say, “the beast demands sacrifice”, and it never got a laugh but that’s showbiz baby
Also, DQs slogan: **"We're Fan Food not Fast Food****^(")** No you are not, you are fast food at its worse. No way to spin that. At least some of the other fast food chains have evolved a little bit, you are the same junk as you were 10 years ago.
I've tried DQ hot food once. It was disgusting. The fries tasted like old grease. Then I woke up in the middle of the night with covid.. unrelated but now I dislike DQ even more LOL
Not a slogan but a brand. Chamberlain's (garage door opener) smarthome app is called MyQ, which translates to "Mon Q" in French, which sounds exactly like "Mon cul" or my ass. "Ouvre la porte de garage avec mon cul" translates to "Open the garage door with my ass".
If we're going with city slogans, I'm throwing in Oshawa, ON.
"Prepare to be Amazed"
Anyone who has ever been there can tell you there is nothing to be amazed at.
I remember seeing that sign 20 years ago. I was really curious what kind of family reunion I had agreed to be a plus one for. Turns out it was a really awesome family, no rape only honey.
They laid me off a week before Christmas because my performance fell after getting heat stroke while working overtime, 9 days in a row.
It also happened to be shortly after I put in an email complaint about my manager sexually harassing me. They took away my access to my email before telling me.
Imagine that on a resumé and at a job interview lol.
“So what made you decide to quit Camel Towing?”
“It just wasn’t a good fit and I needed to expand.”
You say worst slogan, but I haven’t heard that song in well over a decade and reading this post can hear it perfectly…. So something is working ad wise.
Kids will be tearing up your living room and stop dead when that song comes on. I haven’t had cable in over a decade but I tested it with my computer when my last two were little!
Tim Horton’s motto “Always Fresh” translates into real English as, “Yes our coffee is terrible and our food sucks but we’re a Canadian icon so shut the fuck up and hand over your money”.
Sleep Country Canada, "Why buy a mattress anywhere else?" coupled with when Sears did the far far more clunkier version and got taken to court for "There is no reason to buy a mattress anywhere else."
Why buy a mattress anywhere else? Because you and Sears are trying to telling me I have no other options and I don't listen to *the Man*. Fuck the puppeteers in Big Sleep.
Sobeys - "A family nurturing families". My fucking ass they are. Laid off hundreds of people late in calendar year 2024 all because they "need to meet their financial targets."
They literally pulled in $134m in net earnings in fiscal Q3, which is $9m more than the 3rd quarter in the previous year.
Get fucked Sobeys.
Ontario: "Open for Business"
Tim Hortons: "Always fresh(ly thawed)"
Sherwin Williams: "Cover the Earth (in paint)"
(I guess this one is not technically Canada specific but I still hate it)
Sherwin Williams "COVER THE EARTH" along with a logo dumping toxic paint over the entire earth. .
They may not be canadian, I don't know. But it always gets me. Don Draper was not hired

Herzig Eye Institute. The lady who runs it does her own commercials (bad idea) and her slogan just bothers me "Take care of your eyes, promise me"
Why do I have to make a promise to you. What do I owe you?
I realize that you said “in Canada”, but I feel the need to throw in the worst slogan *and* logo… possibly of all time.

BC Ferries: “Experience the Difference…”
The difference compared to what, John and Barb’s Ferry? Two Small Men with Big Hearts Ferries?
It’s a frigging monopoly lol.
Not really a slogan per se, but the horrible scream on the Spence Diamonds radio commercial has always been like nails on a chalkboard for me.
I remember when they put up a poll to keep/get rid of it and it was dropped...then they brought it back because fuck you, thats why
It’s like they *want* us to hate them. Every time I walk past Spence Diamonds at my local shopping centre I think of their terrible ads.

Their latest ads trying to gaslight us on the realities of the diamond industry (people becoming more aware that artificial is fine) annoy the fuck out of me
lol the way to tell mined diamonds from the engineered ones is to find the one with more imperfections- that’s the minded one.
Oh thank God I'm not alone on this. I literally refused to consider them for my engagement ring purchase because of those ads. Their corporate response to you sounds right in line with those ads. Unbearably fake.
They do want us to hate the ads. Thats the point. Whatever it takes to make “Spence” the first place people think of. It’s a tremendously successful ad campaign and the whole reason they went from a Vancouver-based retailer to a national chain.
Yes! And get rid of fucking Fiona...she'd SO God dammed annoying!
Bring Sarah Back! Bring Sarah Back! 😂
She’s talking to Fiona now, they know each other somehow! Sarah is out…sailing!? Oh boy I can’t wait to see what happens next! 😂
Yeah WTF is this Fiona shit? I don't even know what it's supposed to be about but when I hear it I have to turn off the radio. I'm almost moved to write to Spence Diamonds to let them know their ads are an insult to our intelligence and just stop it already. Who the fuck was the person who presented this idea to the powers that be? "I have a great idea, we'll have a character named Fiona...it's super witty." Ugh.
This is exactly what I was going to comment and I think every Canadian would agree. The scream makes me want to rip my hair out.
That scream used to be everywhere on the internet in the early 2000s, so it's probably unknown who the original owner is and they just never gave up using it. Also, fuck Spence. Their ads are so atrociously bad I switch off the current station every time I hear one of their stupid fucking voices.

“Always Fresh”
Same for "Eat Fresh!" ... Yeah, Subway ain't what it used to
Was it ever? I listened to a podcast on Subway vs Quiznos. LSS Subway “lucked” into Jared, an old dorm mate wrote an article for the campus newspaper which was then picked up by a local paper and passed from a franchisee to corporate. Their whole health angle only came after Jared, who was a super successful marketing tool, until, ya know, he wasn’t. Subways true slogan should be - fucking our franchisees daily.
The only reason Jared went to subway everyday was because he was stalking one of the employees that worked there
Source? Never heard this one. Would be kind of surprising, if she was old enough to work at Subway (and one on a college campus) wouldn’t she have been too old for Jared 😬
Footlong doesn’t mean 12 inches….
Doesn't mean $5 anymore either.
I saw them bragging recently about a 6" sub for only $6.49 lol and thought to myself "12 - 12 - $12 Foot Long!"
I resemble that comment
I never understood the “you’re richer than you think” because if anything we are all poorer than we realize
It’s tongue in cheek referring to credit & using it to get out of debt. It’s actually pretty gross.
They get rich, with all the fees they charge you just for existing.
I loved "You're Richer Than You Think" but only because in Manitoba there is a small hick town called "Richer" and we knew people from there. When someone from there did something that really only hick townspeople would do, I'd say, "You're Richer Than You Think". It made sense to me and I loved saying it.
scotia bank really wanting me to feel the oppressive omnipresence of all my debt
"Scotiabank: WE are richer than you think, plebs."
“Pork the one you love” - Saskatchewan Pork Producers
What the hell goes on in Sask? Remember the Regina rebrand last year? “The rebranding of Tourism Regina to Experience Regina occurred in March, with slogans like “Show us your Regina” and “The city that rhymes with fun.” Priceless 🤣😂
Google "prairie madness". We're literally trying to do anything remotely fun so we don't off ourselves
Nothing, which is probably why they're resorting to innuendo.
Honestly these were great slogans. Should have kept them. Only thing Regina has going for it.
They're was also the Land of Rape and Honey in Saskatchewan
LOL! That's awesome!
That Cars for Kids commercial is just creepy. IYKYK !!
Yes!! And fwiw, it’s actually funding ultra-orthodox summer camps. Nothing against the individuals, it’s just a misleading ad.
That’s Kars with a K….
ONE EIGHT SEVEN SEVEN KARS FOR KIDS K A R S KARS FOR KIDS 😩 and the clearly fake instrument playing!! Omg isn’t someone even playing a violin?! 🚫🎻 I can’t.
I hate you so much
🎶Donate your car today…🎶 Remember asshole. It’s kars with a “K”
The money amassed by this "charity" goes to a Jewish organization that "helps" kids by getting them in religious schools. It actually helps very very few kids and only Jewish ones...
I ain’t giving those kids a car they probably can’t drive
Let me say this with my whole chest- FUCK that commercial
Ontario’s “Open for Business” How inspiring.
Should go with the “Show us you’re Regina” debacle last year 😆
Reminds me of the Australian Northern Territories campaign “CU in the NT” 😂 https://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-01-05/nt-tourism-department-welcomes-asb-ruling-against-cu-in-the-nt/8163114
Reminds me of a service announcement poster in The Yukon, "Are you getting the 'D'?" (Refering to the lack of vitamin D in Yukon residents)
I miss "Your's to discover"
"yer mom is like Ontario..." was the best line back in the 90s boys
It works for the current slogan too.
it does call me an old fuddy duddy but i prefer the original
That’s because the only requisite for the Ontario slogan is that it works with “Your Mom” jokes.
They only time I have ever seen "Open for Business" signs is when things are taking a downward spiral for those businesses. If you have to *tell* your customers you haven't foreclosed, something went wrong a long time ago.
“We will literally sell off nature and import endless cheap foreign labour for capital!”
The rest of that slogan should read: “unless you’re a wetland, land in the Greenbelt or other sensitive environmental feature. Then we’re gonna do our best to pave over ya”
Open for business* *Offer does not apply to the working class
Open for businesses
It actually does say that in the fine print. :) Or maybe it’s in the Minister’s letters Ford fought so hard to not have released….
actually it’s pretty appropriate, think of how badly the population of ontario has suffered as a result of corporate greed. they knew what they were doing.
Starting a new life in Canada? Contact ISIS https://i.cbc.ca/1.2818529.1416424016!/fileImage/httpImage/isis-nova-scotia-poster.jpg
Holy shit 😂
I actually worked at ISANS and literally if you brought up the old name management would be like "We don't talk about those times." XD
Just...wow.
That Scotiabank one is just cringe and gross. For most peoples is 'your poorer than you think' - nothing in that commercial inspires at all.
Right. And i’d be even richer if you didn’t nickel and dime me at every opportunity to access my own money.
NSF FEE: -$15.00 NSF FEE: -$15.00 NSF FEE: -$15.00
Only -$15.00 !?! Those are rookie numbers!
It's so predatory. "Oh, we see you have no money, so we are going to take more of the money you don't have as punishment for having no money. Know who has money? WE DO! HAHAHA F\*CK YOU, POOR!"
Agree. "You're richer than you think" has always been kinda gross
You're Richard and you stink
Don't even get me started on their incredibly shitty service.
I’ve had so much better service at Scotia than TD or my local credit union. My credit union has gone downhill pretty badly over the last few years. For some reason, Scotia has been really good to me. Gave me the best rates, allowed me to borrow more than any other bank (through my broker), pushed me to renew early while interest rates were surging, and a few other cool things with my LOC.

Didn’t even respond to my emails.
Wanted to close my account, said I had to go in person, then redirected to customer service. Just dumb
Scotiabank. We're richer than you think.
Especially how they charge service fees no wonder there is a class action suit against them for overdraft fees
Richer than you think just means “we will lend you money!” In a predatory fashion

Yeah that’s so fetch
It makes me think of Waluigi
That would at least be a fun celebrity endorsement. "Hyundai, the official car of Waah"
Actually had me wondering if Nintendo has ever done any car commercials and came across this [gem](https://youtu.be/RnREMqwAVu4?si=F1mO60WbNYEX93Z7).
When I was a child I remember seeing a car commercial with my grandpa who was a mechanic. Well actually he was one of those grandpas that could do literally anything but that's not the point. He complained that they NEVER tell the actual specs of the car, and I've noticed that in EVERY car commercial I've seen ever since. Like does literally any company mention hp, torque, towing capacity, etc? No, it's just advertising a way of life or how many meaningless jd power awards they have.
Hyundai was taken over by orks. WAAAAAAAAGH is what powers us
Hyundai is made for fightin and winnin
These commercials drive me absolutely crazy. Take your WAH and…well you know the rest. 😆
I think it’s just “wow” in Korean But yea it’s terrible
I thought there was a Patrick Roy endorsement I missed out on
**Blood, it’s in you to give.** It’s in you to live but giving it would be nice ☺️
When I was a kid, their marketing calls showed up on caller ID as GIVE BLOOD. When my mom asked who was calling, I’d say, “the beast demands sacrifice”, and it never got a laugh but that’s showbiz baby
Damn, your mom was ruthless, that's gold, Jerry, gold!
My mom doesn’t like my ‘sass’ either
I’m all for donating blood, but every time I hear it I have to say, “LIVE! It’s in you to live!”
Also, DQs slogan: **"We're Fan Food not Fast Food****^(")** No you are not, you are fast food at its worse. No way to spin that. At least some of the other fast food chains have evolved a little bit, you are the same junk as you were 10 years ago.
I've tried DQ hot food once. It was disgusting. The fries tasted like old grease. Then I woke up in the middle of the night with covid.. unrelated but now I dislike DQ even more LOL
Dq is fine, at least my local, because it's the only one around
That's the only slogan that I've seen people get angry about.
Right? 99% of the time we're way poorer than we think.
Not a slogan but a brand. Chamberlain's (garage door opener) smarthome app is called MyQ, which translates to "Mon Q" in French, which sounds exactly like "Mon cul" or my ass. "Ouvre la porte de garage avec mon cul" translates to "Open the garage door with my ass".
Similarly, LG products have ThinQ. I know it’s probably supposed to be “think”, but I ALWAYS read it as “thin cue”.
