If you'd like to see Tim (The Tool Man) Taylor kick the Canadian Tire Guy's ass, you're not alone. Canadian Tire's long-running ad campaign -- starring the Ned Flanders of home improvement -- seems directly aimed at middle-aged, middle-class suburbanites who are desperate to keep their lawns neatly trimmed and their minivans perfectly polished (a.k.a. the crowd that already goes to Canadian Tire 1.8 times a week). Problem is, it seems nearly everybody else can't stand him. - Sat, 29 Oct 2005 5:55pm

Back when I sold crack that motherfucker came up to me talking about sucking my dick for a rock. I told him to get lost, I'm not into that shit, but he just kept going on and on about sucking dick. I don't think he even wanted a rock, he just wanted to suck dick. - Sat, 29 Oct 2005 9:58pm

Wow - that really frickin' bums me right out. So much for the obscure "specialness" of "Ted Simonette - the Guy From the Canadian Tire Commercial", the hot new hit off Peruke's new cd "Old and Even Older Shit".
Now everyone and his chud will be poking fun at the guy.
This is artistic rape. - Mon, 31 Oct 2005 6:24pm

Yeah he is bad and another guy who totally picks me is that malarky Scottish fuck in the Alexander Keith's ads. Nothing more embarrassing than not being funny when you're trying to be. - Tue, 8 Nov 2005 6:47pm

I've had a great idea, the past year for a music video starring the Canadian Tire Guy......

That's hilarious, that other people actually take notice of this guy. - Wed, 9 Nov 2005 7:50am

Another annoying one: the cheese commercial featuring the old bag yelling "Stop feeding her cheese!" - Mon, 21 Nov 2005 8:42am

theres the new CT commercial, where the one nameless guy invites the other nameless guy up to his cabin for the weekend in a very suspicious tone of voice, while the old Candian Tire guy lurks alone in the garage with his new tools. - Mon, 21 Nov 2005 10:42am

I didn't realize that this man was such a universal annoyance. I know people who will leave the room when that guy comes on. I have always wondered about the kind of people who would be the key demographic of that kind of marketing.

"Now you can have the convenience of a battery charger/dvd player/vacuum attachment that will also trim those unsightly nosehairs!"
