    Default Brutally Overdramatic Tim's Commercial

    This commercial drives me crazy. At 0:43 and 0:50 marks, old Dad has some weird facial issues. I thought he was having a health situation there for a minute. The one at 0:50 is a brutal attempt at dramatic acting - looking off into space for inspiration, ugh! I know I'm being overly critical, but I absolutely hate this commercial for it's attempted blunt force drama.

    Funny, I thought the exact same thing. I wondered if perhaps he was having a stroke.

    I can just imagine how my father would have reacted to me making a similar discovery of old Tim Horton's cups with his writing something specific about what was going on at the time he drank his beverage. "Put that back for Christ sake's, or you'll ruin them. They could be worth money, you know."

    I'm not sure if I've ever seen a good Tim Hortons commercial - they either go with some insipid "wacky" premise or try to make Tim Hortons = CANADIAN LIFE tripe. I think their whole marketing department is awful, but then again they are incredibly successful, so what do I know?

    Jesus ***** ****ing Christ, was that ever terrible! It fits right in with about 97% of TV commercials though. To hell with cable altogether. The only reason to have it at all is to watch sports, but you can stream games too - so why put yourself through that?

    1. It did it’s job. You’re talking about it
    2. Not a fan, mostly because the cups would be faded, moldy or smell
    3. Acting
    4. What do the other cups say? Sherri’s second game? Sherri’s first womanhood experience?
    5. Why didn’t the dad get coffee for everyone else? Just strolls up with an empty cup while the kids help move his stuff out?

    Like Tim Horton's really needs to advertise, everyone I drive by has lines galore. They could save the advertising money and send us $5 or $10 and say "here...try our shit".

    And start putting the ****ing roll up prize back in Canada...enough with this trying to expand to the American market bullshit.

    I need a coffee.

    If that dude kept Timmy's cups all his life, I'm sure his garage would have been full of alot more useless shit.
