Worst Commercials You’ve Ever Seen

[QueenCobra]

OK I actually find this one funny. Vinny from Vinesauce reacted to it; some people love it, some people hate it. Personally, I think it’s a little weird (water bottle family) but not as egregious as the others I’ve listed.

(It’s not even bad; I just felt like sharing it lol.)

ALSO tonight if there are any terrible Super Bowl ones, please share them here. I’m not planning to watch.

I was thinking about that too, knowing how things are now. There's definitely going to be some. Especially with all this crappy AI pandering.

Omg they butchered “Kiss from a Rose”?!

Also, WHY did Puppy Monkey Baby have to come back??

I was flipping through the channels and came a Super Bowl commercial for cold foam coffee creamer. The guy licked it off his upper lip and then his tongue jumped out of his mouth and started dancing at a rave? It even played a glockenspiel, and formed a heart shape! Then it went back inside his mouth. So gross.

I know, it was so terrible. I've turned the TV off and am doing other things now.

The coffee creamer one was absolutely disgusting and atrocious, in fact I think I'm going to have nightmares about that now.

I read that Kanye had a commercial last night where he was lying in a dentist's chair and yapping at the camera. That man needs to be canceled; I'm not sorry.

Also, I saw that there was a weird/gross one for Tubi where a kid's head was literally shaped like a cowboy hat.

Clicked on this thread just because I knew somebody had to mention the flesh hat. I don't really follow sports, but my partner likes to watch the Super Bowl because of nostalgia or something, so we had it on in the background, and as soon as the flesh hat appeared I was like "NO" and yanked my blanket over my head. The stuff of nightmares.

To be honest, most commercials make me angry. 90% of them are targeted at women and nowadays they use the language of affirmation and self-acceptance to manipulate viewers. "Be your AUTHENTIC SELF with our brand new lilac body spray!" "New razors that shave every inch of hair off your body so you can have the FREEDOM to FLOURISH." "Are you worried that the passage of time will make you inherently inferior? Buy our wrinkle creams so you can remain young and attractive, since women over 30 have less value due to their reduced sexual appeal in the eyes of creepy straight men who fetishize teenagers are sad and lonely, probably, and we don't want that for you. : ( Only The Best TM by Viva La Vibe" or whatever.

That said. I very rarely watch TV, mostly just an episode here and there on Hulu since my partner does enjoy TV and movies. And the freaking. CREST REALITY CHECKUP ad. Nothing fills me with more irrational fury than that ad, haha. Women being ambushed walking around town by other women who are like "IT'S TIME FOR THE TISSUE TEST!" and then they act all sad and pitying when a woman's FACE BONES aren't the same color as an artificially fabricated scrap of toilet paper! Like what does toilet paper have to do with bone health? They want you to bleach your bones! They think you should be insecure about having bone-colored bones! That's bonkers!

Haha anyway. If that was fun to read, just imagine how much more fun it would be to have someone shouting these things from the kitchen while they make popcorn on the stove.

So I just realized that THE Seal was a Seal in the commercial. Ok. I guess the song wasn’t really butchered, but the CGI was pretty bad. (And to put such a nice song in a Super Bowl commercial cheapens it’s value, in a way.

So I just realized that Seal was one of the seals in the commercial. I guess the song wasn’t really butchered, then.

OK those “tissue test” ones are really obnoxious. I’ve never even heard of that crap until I saw it. They all have the same dentist who gives them an impromptu appointment; very weird, like the dentist from Little Shop of Horrors.

Speaking of women’s skincare products, I also don’t like how Eva Longoria over-enunciates “hy-a-Lu-ro-nic” acid! I guess that gets you remembering it…but oh well.

I just saw one for whole-body deodorant with a song parody of “My Neck, My Back.”

I saw that too and was like WTF! lol

 

[Yanrima~]

I always hated those commercials for dolls or toys that had off-note singing from kids or a generic peppy voice actress. They were so annoying.

If we're counting game trailers, my least favorite is Mighty Number 9, with the narrator saying, "Make your enemies cry like an anime fan on prom night." The joke was painfully unfunny and out of touch and the rest of the ad reeked of trying to hip with the youth.

Man, I remember that trailer. It felt like it's made by marketing people who either despise Mega Man fans or people that love games in general or 50 year old executives that tried to be hip with the kids and younger people.

Speaking of Mega Man, Mighty no. 9 had the wildest game development story ever made.

the incest folgers commercial is simultaneously the greatest and worst thing humanity has ever made

I read somewhere that GQ interviewed the actors in the commercial, but haven’t gotten around to reading it lol. Bet it’s a wild ride.

Is it bad I involuntarily started twerking before I realized what song it was?

Nah, I get it. Just weird for it to be in a Dove commercial lol.

Back in autumn, I always saw this one PSA for the RSV vaccine that showed a bunch of people laughing. Not normal laughter, but forced scream-laughter, like they were being tickle-tortured or something. As if that wasn’t disturbing enough, a dark screen showed up that said, “Laughter is contagious. So is RSV.” Well, that’s one way to put it, Debbie Downer. Btw most people probably turned off that annoying commercial before they could see the message.

Ew! I usually don’t get bothered by clowns or clown-adjacent stuff, but this was weird. Especially for a French fry commercial.
