WTF?! Commercial Of The Day: Mac's (NSFW-ish)

You see a spot like this and think, "Ok, what the fuckityhell is that?" Then someone tells you that Mac's is (was?) a convenience store chain in Canada. And you say, "Oh. Canada. Ok."

WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT?!!!

Liz C said...

Uh... I need a cold shower and/or cigarette, please. Or - waitaminnit - I'd rather have some of what the creators of that commercial were smoking.

JFC.

amy said...

Um... Er... HUH??? So many other questions I have, but I'll leave it with that one.

Lefty said...

Oh. Canada.

OK, I don't know what the "fuckity hell" that was, but I can tell you it sure as hell wasn't a commercial for MAC's. I've been in many a MAC's store and they don't sell anything that I could smoke or drink that would make that little bit of weirdness make sense.

I've never seen anything quite that, hmmmm....., explicit on TV. Maybe I just don't watch the right channels (or late enough at night).

I'll be right back.

I'm totally annexing "fuckityhell"

Samsmama said...

That's some serious wood.

T-Ro said...

why thank you!

Samsmama said...

No, thank YOU! ;)

Mac's is still goin' strong; it's a step above 7-11, and is where you go to buy your ketchup chips and "Deli-cinq" drinks (no alcohol, though - you have to go to provincial liquor stores for that up there).

I do not, however, recall any of this on any of my last visits the the Great White North. Perhaps I was on the wrong aisle...

MtnMama said...

um, I'm still saying "what the fuckityhell is that?" - Canada or not.

mattyglv said...

well alright...

Stuart said...

Nice buildup, but the ending was sappy.

LindsRay said...

Do their drink cups say WTF?

Cary said...

If they don't, they should.

Miss Emily said...

You'd think if someone was chopping at wood with an axe, it might be more painful than anything else. But, if that's your kink, I suppose...*cringes*

So strange I'm really surprised it isn't German.

I've had flashbacks that made more sense than that.

The Hyperlexian Aspie said...

totally not a real commercial, says this canuck, but worth watching for the hilarity! and yes, we really ARE that sexy. come visit sometime.

That owl logo at the end is from a convenience store chain I saw in Montreal called "Couche Tard" which I thought meant "up late". They sell aweseome gummy candies, like "poulet pied" with a pissed-off looking chicken on crutches on the bag.

but yeah...that was um...weird.

Laura said...

**sniff** I'm so proud!

Karen said...

Holy crap! And we should be worried about our country??? That is just some kinda weird.

Daryll Collins said...

Strange...

But I like it!

Sandra D said...

Probably a commercial they only used online since I've never seen it on tv and I definitely would have remembered it lol. Sadly the WTF logo stands for What The Froster (slushie), not terribly creative.

Bev said...

Disturbing! Fuckityhell, indeed.

Canadian Observer said...

I think someone's been pulling your leg.

Even the Couche Tard stores in Montreal aren't that weirdly racy in their ads.

Felipe, You can purchase alcholic beverages at your local depanneur (convenience stores) in Quebec.

Daisy said...

I think it would be great fun if someone edited in a little Anita Bryant cameo at the end.

"Remember breakfast without orange juice is like a day without sunshine."

ha ha ha! :D

(a reference only the old-timers like me will understand)

Not only is my dh suddenly willing to move us to Canada, but I've gained a new word in my vocab!

Canuckduck said...

It's a real ad for Mac's.

Liquid Sky seems so normal now.

smauge said...

ok - how many blokes got on here and said "I wanna move to Canada"?

Keva said...

I am totally opening a Mac's franchise in Nashville. It would be a total hit in the Bible Belt!
