Stupidest ad slogan you ever heard?

[TrevorGruen]

The title may need some explanation... Basically i ask that the escapists share the stupidest phrase or sentence that has ever been used to sell/advertise something. Theres plenty around, such as the recent enviremental lawyer group near where i live that uses the slogan "even mother nature has an agent now". Feel free to explain why it is so stupid or give a good one (but mention that its a good one if you do).

Personally, while i cant remember some of the older stupid ones, i think Dead Space 2's recent "your mum hates this" slogan was just so stupid its sad, especially since its quite a good game. Its such an immature and lazy way to get attention for your game, especially since the final product isnt particularly immature or lazy.

This one will always stay with me because it came up as an answer on Wheel Of Fortune for the PSN. "It's like a fridge full of fresh air". Yeah, three human people playing and none of us could figure it out until the very end.

It's an Arm&Hammer slogan by the way.

"Problems can be complex, solution cannot." - some company, probably a consultant firm.
I'd never hire them, apparently mathmatics is not their strong side.

lol definitely. I always love seeing companys give what they think are very clever slogans, but just make them look so stupid that nobody wants to give them their money. Like once i saw a slogan for a burgerking sandwhich that i may have enjoyed, but the slogan they gave with it was so bloody stupid i couldnt bring myself to try it +p

"Try not to be open minded! Your brain will fall out" Some british camp or something

Really, none of you put baking soda in your fridge to make it smell better?

I would say, "Wax at the Speed of Ice" by Turtle Wax is probably one of the stupidest things I've ever heard.

At a university faire, some political party group had the slogan "homophobia is gay".
I don't think they had thought that one through entirely.

Are you lesbian/black and don't want to be?
seriously, i saw this ad, it almost made me vomit, it's disgusting. You shouldn't have a problem if you're black/lesbian, it's perfectly ok.

It was probably trying to be funny and stupid though. I mean slogans that are stupid AND straightfaced =P

Where the Bloody Hell are you? Bad campaign entirely.

One I do like was "Computers for Thimpkers" sic. We had a bunch of coffee cups from this company banging around and it always amused me no end when people "got it".

The gay and lesbian one was for real, but the "Are you Asian and don't want to be?" was a hilarious satire done on their billboard.[footnote]http://www.truthministry.org/index.cfm?PageID=68&FaqID=81&PageText=off&ReferringPage=1[/footnote]

I was gonna say this...

Seriously, 'wax at the speed of ice'?

What the fuck does that mean!

"Gotta kill it"

HEADON apply directly to the forehead HEADON apply directly to the forehead HEADON apply directly to the forehead.

runnerup: "hunger get's what hunger wants." what? i still don't get this one. i mean, what?

 

[ezzawesome]

TROLL (tolling company in Aus) *troll face*..."take it as done"

I thought that was pretty gheeey.

 

[Azaraxzealot]

carl's junior. "fuck you, im eating."

oh wait... that was idiocracy.

good movie though

i think the worst slogan ive ever seen was "there's a soldier in all of us" from CoD BlOps advertising

 

[DanielBrown]

This is not a slogan, but I thought it was worth posting anyways.
It's a Swedish company, named Locum, that made this ad to show that they care about nature, or something. It's baffling how it could go from designer to publisher without anyone reacting to the logo.

What about the PSP's "It's like a nut you can play outside with"? I think that is pretty darn stupid, I mean it does not even make sense, well if you see the commercial maybe it does but it's still pretty dumb.
