Worst. Advert. Ever.

Aries · 06-26-2009, 11:28 AM

What do you think is the worst advert ever created? I personally think it's this one Reebok ad where a guy is outrunning a giant beer belly. It's pretty funny, but it's nightmare fuel.

I am sure there is worse but I know currently this one makes me crazy.

I really hate people that use boom mikes so big like that too.

So I double hate this commercial!

Not to mention Vince's bad hair!

YouTube - ShamWow (Full Length)

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

There is a Scamwow Dub Parody there, but be warned if you search
for it that it is
Vulgar beyond reckoning, but funnier than heck if you don't mind lots of cussing. It's bad enough I won't post the link here but it's easy to find.

That's pretty annoying.

Hey, it even works on his shaved arms! No offense to shaved arm men out there.

It is one I have never seen. wonder if it's local to an area?

Edit: And of course without saying, any Billy Mays commercial is not only too loud, but irritating.
But to speak to the herd mentality of people, he actually is effect according to Wikipedia.
I used to use OxiClean before he promoted it. I stopped buying it when they hired him as a spokesman.

I think the Refrigerator Perry commercial is definitely local.

Piggie, I take it you won't be watching Billy Mays' new reality show, "Pitchmen" anytime soon?

Now for the most depressing Skittles advertisement ever.

1. The newest Geico ads

2. Vince/Billy Mays (Billy yells at me why? and Vince is creepy and ironically sell exactly the same products sans name changes)

3. Male Enhancement ads (always at dinnertime. great for losing weight after i lose my appetite)

4. Female odor and drugs to combat it (um, ick?)

5. Phone Dating 'hotties' (first of all, it's the 21st century, phone dating died in the late 80s; secondly, i'm not a stupid person obsessed with sex; third, is being up late after 10PM somehow indicating i'm a lonely guy without a love life?)

6. Robert Goldwater Law Firm ads (he's an ambulance-chaser--that's all i have to say; yamaha rolled over? sheesh that's a risk of ANY 4-wheeler or ATV!!!! talk about not taking responsibility!)

7. TheTruth/Above the Influence ads. (probably made by potheads, for potheads. and those TheTruth ads are creepy)

8. Commercials completely irrelevent of the product advertised.

9. Fast food ads where they show women intimately 'licking' their fingers after eating a big mac. as if McDonald's wasn't sick enough as it is...

10. Five! Five dollar! five dollar FOOTLOOOONG! (ok, it was a limited time promo, and it's even more annoying with idiots who cannot sing. it must DIE NOW!!!)

There's my top 10

commercials that annoy do get 50% of their purpose across. while they get people talking, they're so off putting that i refuse to want to buy their product, meaning that as far as smart people go, the ad failed. commercials can be entertaining but apparently they are catering to our ever-increasing stupid population.

When I hear that phrase, I think of this ugly obnoxious bastard.

Oh, and Wayne Knight as the Flu in those Relenza ads. Uck!

This newsprint advert was posted on my old hangout, Disturbing Auctions: Daily!

Same here. They are absolutely rediculous on the Spike channel, and I'm sure they pay extra considering the product they sell which but it's just too much. There's one where a guy and girl say the word, "Fun", like 10 times in 30 seconds. If you watch the way they word those comercials too, they're very careful. They know that if they make one false claim, the FDA will come down on them like crazy.

You didn't mention the Popeye squint? FAIL! Seriously, I don't think he'll find work again as he's fallen into scandal, which the parody is based on (he beat up some lady of the night).
