Adverts which make you hate the product

[AfterAscon]

THIS ONE. GOD. DAMN.

It doesn't even advertise anything!

It?s a brand advert highlighting their support for charities and how they're making the world a better place. It?s about making people associated Samsung with caring and nice fluffy dogs.

Not all ads have to sell something.

The Lynx adverts. I really hate those. They objectify women, they insult men, and they don't actually have any men on them, just humans with penises who are otherwise half-way between men and women.

Bloody Meerkat...

Pretty much any ad for a product intended for men. They seem to think we're all dumb enough to believe that their product will attract women, regardless of what it is.

 

[HotShooter]

I hate any advertisment that says that the seller is better than a specific competitor, usually for just being "better."
Main offenders include Burger King(which I never really liked in the first place) and Domino's pizza(which I like but they are just WAY too cocky about their products).

Now, if you're like me and watch Comedy Central past 2am, you will know EXACTLY what I'm talking about; Girls Gone Wild adverts.

anything to do with McDonalds Commercials. Especially right now. Olympic athletes don't eat mcdonalds.

THANK YOU. Finally somebody else who notices that.

The Mac adverts, they just annoy me. Also the Windows 7 adverts are getting more and more annoying with that "windows 7 was my idea" bullshit.

Yeah, PC and mac adverts piss me off as a whole.

that and any other commercial were they guy that represents to product is an arrogant dickhead and treats everyone like shit.

EDIT: also the AXE commercials. the way they portray women as objects that give you sex just makes me want to punch them...

Urgh, this actually makes you wanna switch your TV off.

Yeah... the look on my face was an exact copy of the look on those two guy's faces.
WTF

Most beer commercials remind me of why I don't drink beer: to avoid drunken assholes. Remember that one where the guy sicked a bear on his friend.

Many of the commercials in the Superbowl this year were incredibly sexist.

Oh, how could I forget THIS?

There used to be this one after you watched a video from blip tv. It's a starburst ad with a band made up of starbursts called " the fave- reds " it made me close the videos like ten seconds before it ended out of fear of seeing it again.And on tv the free credit report dot com guys

 

[Julianking93]

If you can't say anything good about your own product, it's probably shit.

At least those are better than the American Mac commercials.

 

[Uberjoe19]

Snuggies, of course. Not only do they look fucking stupid, the commercial makes it look even lamer than it already is.

There's an advert for yogurt over here called 'Perle du' something, which started off with this woman eating a spoonful of yogurt and the voiceover saying that she used to eat sour yogurts and didn't enjoy them. However, rather than stopping she continues to eat it. Then she loves the next yogurt she tries and looks infinately happier though the magic of blush.

However, after complaints about soup yogurt, they recommend lemon flavour. It's just... Wow.

I can't even watch those beginning to end without thinking of suicide.

I was just about to mention those commercials. They insult the intelligence in a way I've never seen an ad do before or since.

Boost mobile still holds the record in my mind as company with the worst ad campaigns ever. First they brought us those awful "Where you at??" commercials, forever ruining the grammar of a generation, and now they hit us with the "You think this is wrong?" Campaign, going for disgust points that in the end have nothing to do with their products.

Yes, Boost mobile, I do think that is wrong. So much hatred.

Is it bad that those commercials made me want to hurt the guys that were in them?
