People Are Revealing The Most Obnoxious Commercials That Didn’t Result In A Purchase
Advertisements pretty much surround us. The key to a good ad is to grab your attention and make sure that you remember the product, whether you need it or not. Whether it's intentional or not, some tend to infuriate us when we see them.
It's hilarious when people get annoyed with products about cars or fragrances that they'll literally never purchase. We have one simple number for you, 1-877-KARS-4-KIDS. Seriously, once it's on TV, there's no turning back. Maybe go out and enjoy the world instead... after checking these out.
Nothing Could Possibly Replace Liberty Mutual
A commercial like this really makes you think — "You hit an inanimate object? How are you outraged?"
It's like buying a car then randomly wrapping it around a tree. Suddenly, out the blue, they raise your rates. It just doesn't seem very fair, but I guess that's the way the world works.
How Do You "Scan" Every Dark Website?
Talk about something that will grind your gears. They're just banking on people's fears of hackers and the dark web.
It might be a step up from Norton anti-virus, but we're not so sure How do they know they scan every dark website that's on the internet in the first place?
Eight J.D. Power Awards For Being A Company
Oh wow! I had no idea! Too bad there's no annual J.D. Power Olympics between companies.
Unfortunately, it isn't the Academy Awards or anything like that. But, I guess that's their Vince Lombardi Trophy. Hopefully, it's enough to bring in more clients for the next quarter.
Axe Is Built On A House Of Lies
Axe commercials are strange. It's like they are so self-aware of how absurd they are that they're almost a self-parody.
The audience might be in on the joke, but some of us are still trying to figure out why no guy turned into chocolate after Axe introduced the dark temptation spray.
There's Aspirin For That
These ads make for a severe headache. Imagine the commercial playing nonstop in your college residence dining area.
For some reason, they had CNN on with the volume cranked up, and then, "Apply directly to the forehead" made you forget everything you knew about ECON 101.
The People Who Are Undecided On How To Spend $50,000
Who is their target audience? It makes you want to have the bow more than the car. However, I've never seen people who were so indecisive over spending $50,000.
It's like you won the lottery, but you got a $350+ monthly payment for the next who knows how many years instead of the lump sum.
That Thing You Use To Surf The Internet
She didn't even give her neighbor some direct eye contact. Apple just wants to redefine what people considered a computer, but this girl came off as a total brat.
The funny thing is, it's the exact same line my dad uses when he says his phone is a computer.
J.G. Wentworth Is Waiting For You Like A Dog At The Door
Those Viking opera commercials were one of a kind from JG Wentworth. At least the people in those spots were actually musicians.
But, let's face it, they were much better than the commercials they have now. I still sing this song in the shower.
The Marketing Department Has Truly Run Out Of Ideas
We've come a long way since Dominos introduced the delivery tracker when you order online.
Dominos has long divided the pizza community, and it goes far beyond whether or not pineapple deserves to be on a pizza.
There's Something About The Trivago Guy
There's one commercial where he's dancing around, and that will motivate you to slap him in the face.
Honestly, though, my friends hate everything about the Trivago guy. Sometimes, it makes you wonder how bad of a hangover he has filming these commercials.
He Looks "Thrilled" To Be Their Spokesperson
He looks so woke it's hilarious. His entire emotional delivery feels muted as he simultaneously sounds bored and too intense like my program coordinator in college.
The next time you see him on TV, picture him as the evil version of Nick Kroll.
"Real People, Not Actors" Okay Then
Nothing's more cringe-worthy than watching a group people be awed and amazed by new cars.
The guy who shows the vehicles almost makes me nauseous and sometimes it would be better if they replaced him. Even the "Real Chevy Commercial" guy on YouTube put this to shame.
Wait... This Is Their Fault For Misleading Us
Let's put it this way; if they sold something like fancy earrings, it's good to do some research before actually buying it.
As soon as you find the studs you like, match it up with prices at other stores. Oh, and be on the lookout to make sure it's not counterfeit either.
The Shane Company Ads Put Us To Sleep
Damn Jared, why do you have to make our eyes melt like this? Also, your so-called talent to act doesn't fool us whatsoever.
Jewelers like this seem like they're just pawning off everything you can find on eBay. Just be sure you don't stumble across the same jewelry at the Dollar Store.
Is This Even A Charity?
It's not about the charity; it's about the jingle that's faced public ridicule. Critics genuinely find it annoying as it's nothing but an assault on the senses.
One good thing came out of this, which is the opportunity to donate the money to your charity of choice, so I guess it's a worthy cause.
Fragrances Are The Only Product You Can't See Or Hear
It's common for every hygiene product to make it attractive enough to swoon the opposite sex. They know you'll want to buy it no matter what it smells like.
For Old Spice, it's like they throw it at your face and suddenly you're on a trip with Terry Crews yelling at you.
Toilet Paper That's Not Cheap Sandpaper
All Charmin commercials prove that bears poop in the woods. My main question is, does everyone else have issues with tissues of toilet paper getting caught in a bear's backside?
That's more likely to happen if you use the cheap toilet paper they have at schools and airports.
Car Commercials On The Radio Are A Nightmare
All of these commercial clusters you hear on the radio drains the soul from your body.
It feels like the only time we even listen to the radio is when we're in the car, so what are the odds we actually need a new one? This is why the aux cord is the real MVP.
Oktoberfesttober Decorations Are Something Else These Days
Truckuary and Trarch sound legit, but Oktokberfestober sounds like a month-long holiday since it's associated with beer.
Companies who do this are just taking the easy way out when it comes to marketing. It's like all those bad movies that come in January; no one's going to watch it.
And That's Why It Should Be Illegal
Imagine being a garbageman. Driving the truck through a bustling intersection and some annoying commercial comes on with the tires screeching.
It sounds very realistic, and you could have ended up crashing into another vehicle. The point is, sirens in commercials shouldn't be allowed.
