What is the worst, most annoying ad on television?
Joanna has a nomination: The Chevy Malibu ad with 4 hate-able people singing a horrible song by Spandau Ballet.
Josh’s nomination is for the famous Shake Weight, which makes hand jobs available to middle America.
What do you think is the worst commercial ever made?

There are three companies out there that have overly trashy shit ads. Wrigleys Ltd has numerous bad ads.Old Spice has so many bad ads that I can’t count that high. I believe both are produced by the same ad company, a company that hires only grade 1 drop outs. Now the ultimate bad ads. There never has been an ad from Capital One that doesn’t qualify for bad but the worst of the worst is directed at a Canadian audience. The main character is the wanna be funny man Martin Short who throws his lap top on the ice in… Read more »
There’s a P&G commercial being shown during the Olympics coverage that really bothers me because it ignores any contributions made by the dads in the lives of these athletes…

In comparison, there is a commercial for Petro Canada being shown in Canada that IMO does a much better job…

This Glad trash bag commercial is memorably obnoxious.
A. It is a truth universally acknowledged that meatloaf is icky. Ha, ha.
B. Throwing out food, let alone beef grown at high cost in feed and chemicals, is assumed to be okay.
C. Mom’s not looking martyred about the little shits that didn’t like her cooking, she’s upset that those darn Brand X trash bags can’t hold enough wasted food.
D. Who names their kid Skyler anyway?

Any Axe ad you can think of but the one that crosses my mind in particular is the one where some girls release a pig in a mall with the instructions “Find me a dirty boy.” Said pig searches the mall until if finds a dirty boy and jumps him, followed by the girls coming up and washing his hair. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N09FT72UuS8 What pissed me off about Axe ads is that most of them are marketed with the thought of, “If you want to have a chance with the ladies you need to use our product.” I know many grooming products… Read more »
Old college friends use to refer to it as “spray-on strip-club bathroom.”
I think its worse than that. At least the smell in a strip club can be explained, however unpleasant it might be. But when you build factories and have people spend money on research to create such horrible scents?
Damn.
