advertisement fails

[SNIPERFOX ft. Harry P.Ness]

I just watched top gear on Dave, and a slur of stupid ads followed. never say never was the first, and the disclaimer read: warning likely to offend or hurt someone. so watching a Justin biber movie will leave me offended and go on a killing spree? next was dead space 2 and EA failed to advertise. marketing an 18 rated game to teens. hoo bloody ray. so post the most retarded ads or disclaimers here!

I got a spam email that epically failed. And no, I'm not talking about the email itself, although you wouldn't be wrong in saying it's a fail-

The UK Mac adverts.

Even the guy who was representing the Mac later said something along the lines of "David [The PC] was the one with all the good lines and you were meant to not like him. I was the smarmy sarcastic one and you were meant to buy me."

Car commercials. They're all the same!

 

[Jack and Calumon]

Car commercials. They're all the same!

Spoiler: OH RLY?

OT: GO COMPAAAAAARE! GO COMPAAAAAAAAARE!

I will not compare insurance there. I prefer the Meerkats. Actually that could be a fail too since I've been on Compare the Meerkat more than Compare the Market.

Calumon: All the Digimon adverts on right now.

Jack: There... isn't any?

Calumon: I know. :'(

Bingo.

A car drives along empty city streets at night with a young attractive couple in it.
A 4x4 bounces along a grassy hill or shows a couple packing surfboards/bicycles in the back.
Children are used.
The words 'features', 'safety', 'extras' and 'for just $--,990'.

fin.

Nine out of ten housewives can't tell the difference between Whizzo Butter and a dead crab.

Any advert that shows some skinny woman dieting because...well apparently she needs to see more of her hip bones or something, I dunno. Especially the ones who are all "OMG I CAN'T EAT THIS ICE CREAM/CHOCOLATE BAR/BANANA BECAUSE I'LL GET FAAAAAAT. DX"

There's also an advert for a catalogue that boasts to have sizes up to Size 24, and who do they use for their adverts? That's right, women who are a size 12 at best.

Calumon: All the Digimon adverts on right now.

Jack: There... isn't any?

Calumon: I know. :'(

Don't worry Calumon, I'll go over to the Disney offices and have them start airing some!

Best examples of failed advertising I've ever seen.

I seem to recall the message under the Never Say Never trailer saying "this film contains no scenes likely to offend people".

OT: I dislike, as have been mentioned above, the use of anorexic women to advertise diets which say in the small print should only be attempted by those with a BMI of 25 or above. That's just dangerous.

6 words: Its just like a mini mall.

well, sadly, here in ireland, beebs seems to be unpopular.
it was on again recently, and it clearly sated:

likely to offend or hurt someone.

maybe im retarded, r maybe its due to crowd control problems
