dimafleck: the living legend. Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 (edited) the old asian man going to hockey rink and saying things like "thats my grandson....thats my grandson"this is by far the worst commericial i have ever seen in my entire life.its cheezy, its a not sentimental at all and it doesn't make any sense.tim horton's has been pumping out the worst commericials for quite some time now.i understand that i am talking about tim hortons in this thread and it will be viewed by a few hundred people and so in a way, the commercial is doing its job...however, to counter act this, i will not purchase tim hortons coffee/products for 2 months and i suggest you do the same.

Guest Low Roller Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 You hate the commercial because it has a person of Asian decent in it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradm Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 dima, I suggest you go into the Tim Horton's nearest you, walk up to the counter, and demand that they explain the commercial to you. Tell them you're not going to order (or leave) until you get a satisfactory explanation. Then report the explanation here, because I can't follow the plot of the the commercial, either.Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarcO Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 I haven't had a Timmy's coffee for quite a while but will definitely pop out on my break to grab one. Thanks for the reminder! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoneMtn Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 People watch commercials? Aren't they the reason we have remotes on our TVs?Commercials will never be informative or thought-provoking. That isn't their goal. Their goal is to advertise to you. Unless you want that to happen, just tune out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deranger Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 First: Tim Hortons coffee tastes like ass, how do I know what ass tastes like? I've had Tim Hortons coffee before. Two, that ad didn't make a lot of sense, but I cried like a little girl when I first saw it. What part of this multi-generational, ethno-Canadian fairy tale didn't you get? It was a beautiful piece of inspired advertising. Third, that Onion article was fucking hilarious. Mach3superturbo, 5 blades and and 2 strips, brilliant!

AWeeJig Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 This large regular Tim Horton's coffee that I just purchased a mere 10 minutes ago, for $1.40, is quite tasty. I live a stone's throw away from a Tim Horton's. It's dangerous for the ole pocketbook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitey Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 I agree, that has to be one of the worst commericals and to make it even worse we are going to be seeing it for the next few months. I think this one is even worse than the 2 guys and the 2 old people driving across Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hartamophone Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 I thought the commercial was pretty straight forward: The grandfather never "approved" of his son playing hockey, and was always telling him to study more, and pay less attention to hockey. It wasn't until his son's son (his grandson) was playing hockey that the grandfather told his son he actually came to the rink to see him play, and knew what position he played. etc. Make sense? dima, good luck with that. I'm sure you'll bring them down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Evil_Mouse Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 Tim Horton's sucks. Tim's is a fetish commodity for the delivery of simple caffeine. [barney]Just hook it in my veins![/barney] My nephew was going on last weekend about an urban myth that Tim's lines the rims of their cups with msg or some other pseudo-addictive taste enhancer. Anybody else hear this one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarcO Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 I'd heard the rumour of MSG being an ingredient in their coffee but was proven wrong on this very board a couple of years back. It's an urban legend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
