What Are the WORST TV Ads???

[CO Liberal]

My personal nominees are the ones for those stupid "Girls Gone Wild" videos, and any ad that features Billy May shouting about the product. (Can't that guy talk in a NORMAL TONE???)

I'm sure we'll come up with quite a list.

[Misunderestimator]

1. I'd say anything put out by the Bush Campaign and SwiftVets...

and I'm being serious. These are seriously BAD and amateurish ads.

[AlFrankenFan]

23. Ditto n/t

[JimmyJazz]

2. Oh I gotta vote for any personal hygiene product myself

and the Repuke ad, but they'll be gone soon enough

(on edit: need to reply to the "how did you learn to type" thread with "apparently, I'm still learning")

[SotarrTheWizard]

33. ANY "feminine hygiene" product ad. . . .

. . . and for god's sake, say what the product is, and the problem is solves . . . I swear half of the "feminine hygiene " product ads can be mistaken for Florist commercials. . .

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. Cherry Pepto-Bismol.

A bunch of people in Wal-Mart-type vests do this stupid dance where they slap their butts while singing "Di-ar-rhe-a!" It's really stupid and gross.

[Malikshah]

27. I love those ads!!

I know I'm crazy--but I want to start doing that in front of my students one day....(the ad dance...not the incontinence)

I've already pulled the Geico thing once.

Yeah, I'm the biggest dweeb.

[Hog lover]

4. Viagra ads

old people trying to look sexy - gives me the creeps (and I'm old, too)

[LDS Jock]

22. and Bob Dole about Erectile Disfunction

I don't enjoy the visual of Bob's struggle with getting it up.

[Sporadicus]

5. The Toenail Fungus Ad

with the animated fungus

:puke: :puke: :puke:

[CO Liberal]

6. The Worst of Those...

...was the one where the Lamosil pill keeps rolling over the fungus - like the Coyote in a Road Runner cartoon. You almost feel sorry for the poor fungus. :shrug:

[DrWeird]

21. Not only that...

while the fungus was getting run over by the pill was when the voice over was listing the drugs side effects. So naturally you're going to be paying attention to the cartoon and not the voiceoever.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

9. That one's nasty.

Now that I think of it, I might hate that one as much as the Pepto-Bismol Diarrhea Dance.

[BlackVelvetElvis]

7. I hate the one with the "commemorative 9/11 coin"

made with silver from ground zero.
That's the most tasteless thing I've seen in a long time.
Some people would sell their mother's soul for a dollar.

[dolo amber]

10. Yup yup yup yup yup

No contest. :puke:

[GiovanniC]

13. And It's a Lie, Too

Hardly any silver in it, and it's not legal tender issued by the US government. It's value is similar to Beanie Babies... it's worth as much as you can get a gullible person to pay you for it.

[BlackVelvetElvis]

18. You're right. It is a lie.

I went to their website (http://www.ncmint.com/) and thought this was amusing.

What would dad say!?
As they say "Act now and avoid future regret".

[bluedeminredstate]

8. Where are you when your laxative starts working?

And then some dofus fishing in a boat in the middle of a lake grunts and looks panicked. Who takes a laxative then goes fishing?


Plus any Preperation H-type commercials. Please just stop it.

[lpbk2713]

11. Di-tech.com

That fat guy annoys the hell out of me.

[Texasgal]

12. "gotta go, gotta go, gotta go right now"

UGGGGG! I hate that commercial.....

"and I don't have to go right now"

[SemiCharmedQuark]

14. "...but I've got some good news, I just saved a bunch of money..."

On car insurance!

I want to beat the hell out of those people.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

15. There is some ad for birth control pills featuring some woman singing

The La's "There She Goes". Kinda semi ruined a song I really like.

[Bluebear]

16. Step away from the deliciousness...McD's chicken strips

Let goa my chicken! Can't stand the dude's voice or something.

[CanuckAmok]

17. You lucky Americans don't have to be subjected to "McCain" frozen foods

The most cloying, poorly executed advertisements since whoever edited the Star Wars action figures ads in the 70s.

[speedoo]

19. Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) has a bunch of horrible ads.

Totally amateurish.

Almost like he knows he can't lose (I don't even know who's running against him) but he has a big war chest that he wants to spend anyway. So he probably hired some crony's ad firm.

Worst political ads I have seen for a long time.

[LDS Jock]

20. Fitness Made Simple by John Basedow

I hate those commercials! You know the ones, some guy with frosted hair with his head superimposed on someone else's body with great abs. The commercial runs all the time, seems to last five minutes.

As a runner up, some tampon commercial with some girls asking why one is wearing a bathing suit while on her period. Blah blah.. and at the end, she says "I'd kill for a brownie!" and another yells, "Oh yeah, she's menstrual!" YUCK!!!

[GRLMGC]

24. ahhh

seriously, that's not that fool's body. It's so funny.

[Malikshah]

28. Uh....my partner got the DVDs-- it's his body

It's there in all its weirdness--

[GRLMGC]

29. that's so weird

It just looks so unnatural because his head and neck are pale and his neck looks too skinny

[Malikshah]

32. Plus his pecs are so out of proportion to his body--

They make him look as if he'll need a "manssiere" or "bro" soon ;)

[Skittles]

25. DSW shoe ads

comparing shoe-shopping women to wild animals.

[Kat45]

26. The erection pill ad that plays "We Are the Champions"

There's something seriously wrong about that.

[freestyle]

34. Good that someone else has seen this.

The first time I saw it I was literally rolling on the floor laughing. All these limp dick fools dancing in the streets was just way, way, way over the top.

[SmileyBoy]

30. The one Cingular ad with the douchebag talking on the phone constantly.

"If you talk on the phone as much as me - (brrring)... Hold on..."

That commercial epitomizes the people I HATE the most, those who CONSTANTLY talk on their cellphone.

[TOhioLiberal]

31. The worst ad...

...IMHO is the Levitra ad with the chick going on about her husband's 'quality of response'...It's like she's saying 'Yeah, he got it up last night!!!' :puke: worthy!

[freestyle]

35. In Baltimore, beware of Scott Donahoo

a local car dealer who has the stupidest ads ever made. They are kind of funny though.
