FIFA 09 Commercial | So Bad I Change the Channel
by: Stuart

This commercial is so annoying I turn off the audio or change the channel.  So enjoy.

FIFA 09, from EA Sports, could have been such cool commercial. If MSFT’s Xbox360 put partner funds into the creation of this spot, get your money back.

Anyone else hate this commercial, am I overreacting?

Bad, Bad Ad | Vern Fonk
by: Stuart

Vern Fonk has some of the best bad commercials I have seen.

They could almost be good/bad enough to be on Saturday Night Live or MADtv. Enjoy them both.

Geico | Caveman Beach
by: Stuart

I’m really wishing they would let these caveman commercials from Geico die off. They are not evolving into anything funny.

If they do, I will surely eat my words. Here are some other Geico posts:

Geico NASCAR Commercial | Mike Wallace and Cousin is still by far my fav.
Geico’s worst caveman commercial
Geico Cavemanscrib.com
Geico Caveman Commercials - Again
SNL | ABC’s Geico Caveman Series

Hydroxycut | Bad Commercial
by: Stuart

Here is another “put a guy in a lab coat and it adds instant credibility”.

Hydroxycut ads are horrid but if I start taking Hydroxycut and ExtenZe it could be the perfect male.

ExtenZe - More Male Enhancements | Bad Commercial
by: Stuart

This is another classically bad commercial from ExtenZe that plays off the male insecurity of having a less than impressive penis. Yes it’s true, some men do wish they had a little more hang between the legs.

The “street” testimonials are the best part of this badness. Dr. Stein tells us it works, who can’t believe the founder of The Stein Medical Institute

E|Trade Baby - Bad Commercials Repost
by: Stuart

We often post ads that we like or find interesting for some reason or another but this is a different story.

This ETrade ad sucks. The concept of a talking baby was old after “Look Who’s Talking” and even older after “Look Who’s Talking Too and Baby Geniuses” (I can’t remember if the babies mouths moved in all of those bad movies but you get the point).

The web cam video effect is bad and the writing is horrid “bad girl…hey girl can I hit you back…” I’m sorry if you think this one is cute but I think its a waste of advertising dollars and represents the brand in a poor light.

I don’t play the stock market and this type of ad is definitely not going to make we want to put any money into a company that thinks a talking baby is a good spokesperson…so easy a baby can do it, it’s child’s play…whatever the sales pitch was to do this ad, it doesn’t work.

Finallyfast.com | Bad Commercial
by: Stuart

This is just plain awful. 

Get a digital video camera and some video editing software and you are done.

Enzyte | For Guys With Little Dongs - Bad Commercials
by: Stuart

I think these are bad commercials but I do love how deliberate the voice over is. So this is a BIG bittersweet bad commercial. Funny in a bad way, a sad way.

Here are some of the overtly suggestive and tacky copy points:
“Bob gets a BIG lift from Enzyte”
Visual “Gain with arrow pointing up”
“Enzyte is FIRMLY the #1 selling brand…”
Visual “BIG IS GOOD”
Visual “Join Bob…images of WOOD”
“Enjoy the FULL, ROBUST confidence..”

USA Chat - Bad Commercial
by: Stuart

Here is one of the worst of the bad hot girls wanting to chat commercials.

I love the casting and the conversations, the are the best of the worst.

I’m not going to provide the link to this one, just call the provided info in the commercial if you really need to chat to one of the lovely ladies.

I’m sure it’s not some nasty beast in a stained tank-top eating a corndog dipped in French’s mustard in some basement in Oklahoma.
