Guinness wants you to put your phone down

Take a look around you the next time you go to a bar or restaurant. Over the course of the night you should see plenty of phones. It's incredible. Full tables of people you assume are all friends have their mobile devices out. Are they talking to each other? Kind of, but the bulk of […]

Here’s another stupid Milk Protein Fight Club commercial

The Protein Fight Club commercials designed to promote milk are really, really stupid. In fact, we've already made fun of one where a woman makes a weird omelet inside a cup. Here milk battles an Everything Bagel and the results are annoying. Oh so annoying.  http://youtube.com/watch?v=wXcR-RIulMw?rel=0 The actual idea – showing off how much protein […]

P&G’s Olympic commercial is a great tribute to moms

It's not often we'd encourage you to watch an ad which is a whopping two minutes long.

Old Spice’s “Mom Song” ad is pretty creepy

Old Spice commercials have been pretty weird for the last few years. At first they fell into the Weird: Charming category, with ads built around the idea of the Old Spice Man and The Man Your Man Could Smell like. The ads then became bigger, louder and more bizarre. They fell into a Weird: Annoying […]

Awful Classics: Purnell’s “Old Folks” Sausage commercial

Low budget commercials are incredible. Each one is instantly recognizable the moment it comes on your TV. Not because of brand awareness or brand recognition, but because of the horrible audio quality, bad acting and even worse editing.  This commercial for Purnell's "Old Folks" sausage is the perfect example of what makes low budget ads […]

Wendy’s ups the stupidity in fire extinguisher ad

Wendy's is out to prove that Wendy, their spokeswoman, works with the biggest group of morons on the planet.

Applebee’s promotes their Under 550 Calorie Entrees with bizarre GIF ad

The latest trend seen in various television commercials is the usage of GIFs. To be clear, the advertisements try to incorporate the popular way to share media online in their commercial by showing one action repeated over and over through looping video. The results have been disastrous. We first ripped on Kmart. Now our attention […]

Carl's Jr. has a Philly Cheesesteak Burger which combines thinly sliced steak and the usual Philly Cheesesteak toppings with one of their Thickburgers. In order to promote this artery clogger, Carl's Jr. called on a man despised in Philly – Terrell Owens.  The result is a commercial with a few laughs and some major boobage.  http://youtube.com/watch?v=o0EzeStwP5I?rel=0 […]

Awful Classics: 1980’s Coors Light commercial

Coors Light commercials weren't always about a speeding silver bullet train randomly bursting through city landscapes. Instead, commercials focused on relationships and encounters in the local tavern. The bartender was your friend and everyone bonded over Coors Light. Talk about your slice of '80s nostalgia. It's also worth pointing out the completely different marketing strategy […]

Kmart’s holiday sequel to Ship My Pants

Kmart's ads are almost bipolar. We've praised the Ship My Pants, Big Gas Savings and Yo Mama commercials, but then we've been forced to ridicule the store's bizarre and completely humorless holiday GIF commercials.  After their spectacular holiday flop, Kmart decided to call on and old, yet successful strategy: Shipping pants. This time they added a Christmas […]
