Stupidest Advert you've ever Seen?

[Numenos]

now when i say stupid, i don't mean funny haha, i mean stupid as it makes no sence or strays horribly away from it's target audience for some reason or another, stupid.

and when i say advert, i dont mean commercial, i mean any tv or print or radio ad youve ever seen, since i'm Aussie, i want to see how advertising companies are corrupting American youth and if it's similar to how they are doing it over here...

the stupidest commercial i've ever seen was advertising a new battleships board game on cartoon network, two 8-year old kids are battling out with their shiny new battleships game. one kid says "b4"

now, i'm not joking here, the other kid then CLEARLY says "Shit!" and cringes.

the other kid smiles

"Battleships! buy now!"
end commercial...

now keep in mind this is on cartoon network! what the hell were they thinking? remember how fast angry mum's got the crazy frogs genitals covered up when that ad came out? i saw this ad about 10 times! and i barely ever watch the channel!

what is the stupidest advertising text you have ever seen? thanks for ur time! entertain meh! i am teh tierd!

Hmmm, probably 99% of the emails I get on a daily basis.

There's a radio advert...

"You can pay off your debts, without paying money. Did you hear me? You can pay off your debts without paying money. And again. You can pay off your debts without paying money...(explanitory messages)...so, you can pay off your debts, without paying money."

I'm looking at a paticualy stupid one right now. It reads: "Hear the message on your PC-Take it on your home phone-Transfer to your cell phone." If I had already heard the message on my PC, why would I want to transfer it to my cell phone?

Almost every car-ad is plain stupid. I always ask myself, what are those companys trying to sell me?
Can't be a car, because then they would advertise a car and not a pile of nonesense.

I wouldn't be complaining about stupidity in commericials if you're not smart enough to tell the difference between "shit" and "hit," mate. -_-

But yeah, some commercials are stupid enough. Wish I could think of one, but I make it a point never to remember products or commercials that insult my intelligence. ;)

I always hated the Sylvian Learning commercials. The first ones where always extremely cheesy and I can't believe anybody fell for it.

hey mom, I got you a birthday card
It's your report card
(angry looks, dark music)
(the mom opens the card)
(Huge smiles, epic music of awsome greatness)
(the family hugs)
I love you son.

They always made me want to fail at life just in spite of their shitty business

Take that back! What an advert.

[MelodiousOrpheus]

That mac ad that says this. "Macs...they can't get viruses or spyware." What a fucking outright lie. I love how most companies only survive due to the unholy stupidity of their consumer.
