space the final frontier
aye captain you can choose your space
with a serda and they wonder why cutting
the cord is becoming so popular welcome
to watchmojo.com and today we’ll be
counting down our picks for the top 10
worst commercials of all time wearing
your baby seems to be in fashion I mean
in theory it’s a great idea for this
list we’re looking at those commercials
that received ridicule and derision
after airing
due to their low quality lack of
substance annoying content or anything
in between that generally irritated
viewers the special prize number 10 the
trivago guy trivago have you ever looked
for a hotel online did you notice that
there’s so many prices out there for the
exact same room well some may think that
he’s attractive we can’t help but think
that he’s a little dirty and creepy
we’re of course referring to Tim
Williams the man in the trivago
commercials who stares viewers down with
what looks like malicious intent and
dogs like he wants to murder us in our
sleep he controls the screen like Tony
Stark in hopes of looking futuristic or
cool but it falls flat due to his kind
of creepy performance you can adjust the
price sort of fits in with your budget
select the number of stars
sorry trivago we actually don’t know
what you do because we’re too creeped
out to watch this commercial any longer
plus why isn’t he clean-shaven or
wearing a belt it seriously looks like
they just pulled them off the street
well at least they got the message and
cleaned him up a bit
check on trivago see whether you can
book it somewhere else or an even better
price number nine the baby PlayStation 3
not only does this commercial make
absolutely no sense but it’s even
creepier than the one with the trivago
guy by a mile the ad is for the
PlayStation 3 and features a baby doll
in a room with the console and we slowly
watch it come alive laugh and cry we
suppose it’s crying because of the
beauty of the ps3 but if it’s not then
you really have no idea this ad was part
of a hundred and fifty million dollar
campaign and we think that the person in
charge of that money should be fired
immediately or at least they should
reimburse us for our therapy bills
number eight depression hurts
cymbalta when you’re depressed where do
you want to go nowhere there are only
two countries in the entire world that
allow direct-to-consumer ads promoting
drugs the United States and New Zealand
they are always awful but none more so
than this cymbalta ad cymbalta can help
cymbalta is a prescription medication
that treats many symptoms of depression
tell your doctor right away if your
depression worsens you have unusual
changes in behavior or thoughts of
suicide
cymbalta is a brand name for duloxetine
a drug used to combat depression not
only is this commercial itself
depressing but the darker material is
followed by a full minute of the
narrator listing its possible side
effects taking it with them said pain
relievers aspirin or blood thinners may
increase bleeding risk severe liver
problems some fatal were reported signs
include abdominal pain and yellowing of
the skin or eyes which include fun
things like tremors seizures and
hallucinations when people think of
awful prescription ads a commercial like
this is immediately what bring to mind
ask your doctor dizziness or fainting
make her upon standing side effects
include nausea dry mouth and
constipation ask your doctor about
cymbalta depression hurts
cymbalta can help number 7 I’m the cash
man
Oliver jewelry hello I’m Russell Oliver
and I buy yo us jewelry Oliver jewelry
is a jewelry company with multiple
stores in Ontario Canada and any
Canadian in the Greater Toronto Area
that has ever watched cheap daytime TV
knows the signature call of Oliver
these commercials are well known for
their horrible cheap quality and for
Oliver himself who is clearly reading
from a script’ with the least amount of
enthusiasm possible I’ll turn car k
rollin and protect watching into cash
oh yeah I’ll turn any jewelry into lots
of cash oh yeah couple this with the
awful auto-tune song and you have one of
the worst commercials ever meanwhile his
saying that your catchphrase is just
icing on the awful bitter cake – man
however I pay more cash for you is
jewelry than anyone Oh
everybody say it with us now oh yeah
number six make safe happen nationwide
nationwide is on your side not when
they’re making depressing commercials
like this they’re not this commercial
aired during the 2015 Super Bowl and as
everyone knows those commercials are
supposed to be fun and adventurous for
the most part I’ll never learn to fly or
travel the world with my best friend but
then we are treated to this an ad
featuring a young male narrator who
turns out to be dead
and it caused significant backlash among
viewers nationwide the insurance company
behind it even responded saying that it
was meant to start a conversation at
nationwide we believe in protecting what
matters most your kids if that
conversation was about how nationwide
scared everyone then yes it totally
succeeded together we can make safe
happen
number 5 pandas sales genie ting ting we
have no customers no sales we’re going
out of business here we have another
Super Bowl commercial and while it isn’t
depressing that doesn’t mean it’s good I
am NOT going back to the zoo then we
need a sales medical sales genie which
is an online business and consumer lead
generation tool decided that airing a
commercial starring pandas with
stereotypical Asian accents would be a
good idea but they were sadly mistaken
Wow look at all these sales needs Thank
You self genie the commercial was
quickly branded as offensive and racist
so the CEO of info USA Sales genies
parent company pulled the ad from the
air stating that they never thought
anyone would take offense because the
pan is themselves or Chinese it makes so
much sense now you want to go see the
grizzly bears at the zoo for 100 free
sales leads go to sing Genie cop number
4 sponge monkeys Quiznos
so Dhara oh we have no idea what Quiznos
was thinking when they decided to take
on the sponge monkeys
he’s annoying singing primates first
appeared on the web singing a song
called we liked the move in a video that
went viral
Quiznos apparently thought that the
video was absolutely hilarious as the
sponge monkeys appeared in there and
singing we love the subs
it was quickly removed after countless
complaints about it’s irritating nature
and how unfunny it was
we’re thinking may also may have gotten
some complaints about how people wanted
to gouge their eyes out every time the
ad came on TV Wiz knows Tuesday number 3
there you are
Chanel number 5 it’s not a journey every
journey ends but we go on we’re really
not sure how she Nell managed to mess up
a commercial starring Brad Pitt
inevitable Pitt may be the first man to
promote the perfume on television but he
also did a terrible job of it dreams
take over but wherever I go there you
are the commercial is needlessly
dramatic as the whole thing is in black
and white and Pitt talks to the camera
like he’s trying out for his new Oscar
baiting role look my fate my fortune
it’s way too over-the-top for a simple
perfume ad and the dialogue tries far
too hard to be poetic so naturally it
was parodied and mocked for years and
the dreams wake up and smile at reality
I’m sorry is there really no script
because I’ve been talking to myself for
like two hours straight I’m starting to
sound insane number two apply directly
to the forehead
head on head on apply directly to the
forehead
head on apply directly to the forehead
one of the most notorious commercials
ever head-ons cheap and annoying ad got
the attention of millions and started an
internet phenomenon head on apply
directly to the forehead
head on apply directly to the forehead
the commercial simply consists of lines
head on apply directly to the forehead
with the model doing just that not only
is this painfully annoying but no other
information is given about the product
leaving viewers both irritated and
confused head on apply directly to the
forehead
head on available at Walgreens the ad
soon became famous online was referenced
in disaster movie which was also a
disaster in and of itself head on apply
directly to the forehead
I just I just did I said head on bitch
and the company responsible even
acknowledged how bad it was
in subsequent commercials head on apply
directly to the forehead head on a plane
head on your commercial is so annoying
but you got a great Friday before we
annoy you with our top pick here are a
few honorable mentions
it’s almost unbelievable get Mattel’s a
new baby secret so you can keep the
romantic comedies and lady drinks we’re
good Dr Pepper ten it’s not for women
why are they freaking out not freaking
out they’re giving it yes I know because
of the great dislike at at Kmart right
you don’t need to be a rockstar to
afford a new designer sofa six months
ago Selena tested her relationship with
Justin using the love calculator she
just sent the word honey
her name Selena and her partner’s named
Justin to 750 555 number one baby soft
loves this one person nobody can resist
and that’s a baby for this commercial
we’re going all the way back to the mid
70s when ads seemed to be wildly
inappropriate all the time a mess at the
company loves is advertising their
fragrance called
baby song which is meant to give adults
the scent of a baby because innocence is
sexy so innocent it may well be the
sexiest fragrance around the world if
that wasn’t hot enough
we’re also treated to a full-grown woman
seductively licking a lollipop this
commercial is wrong on so many levels
but mostly in how it implies that men
find smelling babies sexy let’s just
never speak of this again are you a baby
do you agree with our list ask your
doctor what do you think is the worst
commercial ever conceived for more
