The Worst Commercial

Anderton
Do you guys get the one from the firm "Nicholas, Perot & Strauss?" There's another one of those "three name" firms always on Canadian TV but I can't remember the names. Always a hoot; for some reason, they're always quite funny to me!

I'm pretty sure those types of ads are local, but I've seen them in other cities and they're all equally pathetic. I think the humor, albeit a dark humor, lies in the fact that you know they are spending those advertising dollars because some people respond to the indignant sense of entitlement they encourage.

How about the ones with schizophrenic weirdos ranting to imaginary people about stealing their chicken strips.

"Put down the chicken and step slowly away from the deliciousness."

*SMACK*

Not nearly as bad as the Wendy's commercials with that "unnofficial spokesperson" who I'd like to have watch while I beat up his b*tch wife and then lay the smackdown all over his candy a$$
 
There's a commercial for a 'Grandma's Furniture Barn' or some crap out here in the boonies, with this fifty-plus guy acting as an old woman in a nightgown, with a mustache, screaming all loud and looking like (s)he just swallowed nine gallons of arcenic, while these deplorably low-tech PowerPointish-looking words fly across the screen with enough exclamation points to rival GTPlanet.net. Whoops.

I swear, I could produce better stuff with the amateur equipment I have sitting on this table.
When I was a baby, I cried when those came on. My mother will tell you.
 
Oh I got it! The WORST commercials are:

No one outside of Toronto will know about this, so I'll describe it to you. There's this big fat guy, with long grey curly hair and glasses, and he dresses up in the worst costumes to get your attention...one in particular had him in a Superman spandex bodysuit, which in itself is enough to make you lose your lunch. He runs around the street yelling with wads of cash in his hands...his slogan is Oh YEAH!

Torontonians, have you guessed who this guy is? That's right, it's RUSSELL OLIVER, the CASHMAN!

I BUY YOUR JEWELLERY! Oh YEAH!

Sounds like a right a'hole. But as you described that ad quite vividly I had to laugh. That slogan is sooo crap and cheesy, it can't fail.

I also hate bankruptcy lawyer and accident lawyer ads. They pretty much outrightly encourage dishonesty. It offends me. And the bankruptcy ones, including all the shady debt consolidation schemes, are blatantly predatory.

I hate all those adverts that oh so suck 👎
 
I hate the ones that are for baby products, yet are talking to the child. At 2:30am! "You're 20 months old", the ad says. "No I'm not." I say, "and if I were, why am I watching TV now?"

And the esure (insurance) ads. Talking to the marketing guys involved reveals that they are supposed to be "ironic" and "a talking point". Yes, that's fine if in your internal lexicon, "ironix" = "s***", and you're happy with my office discussion "Did you see that s*** esure advert last night?"

And then there's adverts for SUVs (that will never go off road ever), showing it off road. Like the Suzuki Grand Vitara, which is travelling along a forest track that my Focus could traverse with ease. Or the Touareg one, where the thing jumps 10 feet into the air, but they don't show it landing (ha ha!!)

Does that guy still do those ? I haven;t seen his commercials in about 4 years......everytime I used to watch them, my hand would turn into a fist and I would punch my temples hoping to knock myself out !
 
There's the one with the guy running around the US capital covered with question marks screaming and ranting about how to get free money to pay your bills from the government. That guy just pisses me off. I need a time-out every time I see it.
 
It seems a lot of people hate that question-mark guy! Why, he must be as bad as Russell Oliver down there!

I get TBS and during the day EVERY commercial is for some technical institute of education, like DeVry or ITT Tech, and the stupid testimonials by people who turned their lives around there are such crap. Like that "This is Dave. This is Dave's job. Dave's not going anywhere. This is Dave going to such-and-such school. Now everything's coming up roses for Dave!"

I smell something. It smells like...bull****.
 
LOl there are some real bad ones out there. We should try to record them especially you guys that have them in French. I want to see those bad actors. I personally hate the screaming local car dealers too. Some of them are so terrible I want to shut the TV off.
"NO BODY SELLS LIKE US!!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOBOOOOOOODY!!!!!!!!!!!" :ill:

Eric I hear you out, your talking bout that pathetic old dude that screams his lungs out then starts playing tag with random people with a telelphone book at the end of the commercial. Ugh I just change the channel when it comes on. He needs Ritalin® or something.

Die insole yuppies! :grumpy:

Arghh! Those commercials have just been INSTANTLY promoted to the Top 10 Worst Commmercials or Commercial Series in Canada by ME!
They suck so bad, what in the name of all that is sacred were they thinking at Dr. Scholls? You know, for every one of these big-company ads, someone somewhere high up in the respective companies saw these commercials, thought they were great, and gave the go-ahead. THAT's who should be shot repeatedly by any one of the guns mentioned in the Assault Weapons Ban Lifted thread!

And half the time they're screaming about a car thats not even worth advertising. TILT WHEEL, POWER BRAKES, A/C, SPOILER, ALLOY (DID I SAY ALLOY?) WHEELS, SPOILER WOW!

I think the most aggrivating one now has to be the tim hortons "toffee" comercial. Toffee! Toffee! toffee! TOFFEE! HEYYYY TOFFEE!

**** **** kill someone 🤬 if i see that comercial again :mad: :mad:

I HATE IT
 
Nasty commercials are always aired at dinner time. Right when you start eating: I have genital herpes! Or: Ordinary pads don't destroy foul odours that occur from sitting for a long time and standing up! Or: I suffer from severe feminine itch!

Just sickening all the time.
 
Here's a brand new one for New Jersey guys!

DAYTON! DAYTON! I GOT MINE AT DAYTON!

"Wow, dayton has such a huge selection of cars!"

DAYTON! DAYTON! I GOT MINE AT DAYTON!

"Their certified pre owned program is one of the top ranked in the tri state area!"

DAYTON! DAYTON! I GOT MINE AT DAYTON!

"Look, they now carry Scion!"

DAYTON! DAYTON! I GOT MINE AT DAYTON!

"Dayton also carries Toyotas!"

I GOT MINE AT DAYTON!

"Not to mention Chevrolets, Dodges, and Fords!"

DAYTON! DAYTON! I GOT MINE AT DAYTON!

(girl singing) I got mine at Dayton!

Someone please take a chainsaw and proceed to dismember anyone who was screaming that line so many times.
 
south florida boys....5 words.

COME ON THE SEA ESCAPE!!!!!!!!

AAARRRRRRRRRRG I HATE THAT 🤬!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Yes, I know people will flame me for bumping this 10 y/o thread, but I thought this was an interesting topic that was forgotten. Anyways, I watched an old SpongeBob episode (Sleepy Time/Suds to be exact) and I stumbled upon one of the worst commercials ever. It's this commercial for a game called "Penguins On Ice", and this is so cheesy, the animation looks like it came from the early 90s, and the worst commercial song EVER.

Here it is, for those brave enough to watch it without suicidal tendencies.

You have been flamed!

:D





The commercial you posted is not so bad. I have seen worse, a lot worse.
It's for kids and the commercial song is therefore appropriate. My opinion.

;)

I'd nominate any game commercial these days that doesn't use any actual in-game footage(or even cutscenes). We are at the point graphically where this just seems a bit false.
