Title: The Worst Commercials Ever
Post by: xSilverPhinx on March 08, 2018, 01:46:56 AM
I just found a couple of the infamous Mentos commercials of the 90's, which are definitely in the WTF-inducing category of bad ads.

Here are two of them:





So ridiculously bad! :lol:

Any others that stand out for just how terribly clueless they are? :popcorn:

...Anyways...
This one is not bad. It just reminds me of the two types of people we have in this forum.

I thought that was the standard American "loud-and-in-yer-face" advertising style!

:grin:

OK, we have our own Brit brainless and bonkers ads, but they seem to come in collections:

Well I don't know what this is exactly, but I think it looks like it's selling something utterly silly so I thought I'd add it here:

(not funny, just stupid)

Your judgement vindicated Silver.  That one is stupid. 

WTF is that fool selling?  Whatever it is I do not want any.   Just do it????  Well I am thinking of another thread where we learn about Kamikazi sky divers. Just do it ?   Well maybe not.

I don't think you can have one of these topics without mentioning the infamous Head On commercial.



This commercial was ridiculously annoying back when it was on the air and I remember thinking "Who in the world thought this was a good idea?". However now that I think about it, this was a meme before memes became a thing.

Turbotax is running some horrifying commercials this year. I have to turn away every time this one comes on because it freaks me out.

Speaking of spiritual, holy, and blessed things...

Losing your connection with god because you're busy, always in a hurry, don't have time to read the bible? Don't worry, here's "god, to go..Same god, but modern and mobile, god has gone digital too, try it."

The spoken phrase from John 8:32 spoils the whole deal.  It says that; The truth shall set you free.    Methinks that to be a double edged sword.
