Weekend Discussion Thread: Worst Commercials

Alert reader “darthlazy” suggested:

How about, for all who still have unedited tapes: Worst sponsor or commercial you had to sit through. Those Psychic Friends spots were TORCHA!

For me, one word suffices: o/` “APTIIIIIIIIVVVVVAAAAAAAAAA!” o/`

    I seem to recall a few Monistat 7 commercials featuring Kim Alexis that were pretty creepy. But, of course taking the cake, “SAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIILL AWWWWAAAAYYY!!! you can FLLYYYYYY!”

    I had to throw out my original tapes after I transfered them to DVD. The tapes were just in such bad shape (one actually got eaten), that it just wasn’t worth the effort.

    Okay, everybody remembered Kahlua, but I can’t believe no one’s said it so far, from the exact same two-commercial era:

    THE FUTURE IS FORSAKEN….

    Weell, I thought I had managed to purge my memory of most of the above mentioned commercials but they’re all back now. Ugh. The Aptiva commercial though is hands down the worst for me. Maybe it’s because the showed it every five minutes, maybe because it was inane but mostly because the children singing sounded possesed. “ApppppptttttEEEEEEEEEEvaaaaaah!”

    In addition to fake psychics and kahlua mud slide…
    There was Digger the Dermatophyte who would cause nail fungal infections. The expecting couple..”it’s changing color! … We’ve got hard water!” Any Burgerking commercial with ’60s music playing over it. 10-10-321 got so annoying it was a riff in Devilfish.
    #55 Maybe that institute was right next to Intersect and Sam Casey has a list of priors?

    #103: God, I remember that one. It was mildly annoying until I actually rented the game and discovered it was a buggy, “edgy” hoverbike racing game that was only slightly playable. Then I really hated that ad. I’m pretty sure it was one of Acclaim’s “promote the hell out of it so no one notices it’s crap” situations that helped kill their company.

    #83 – Yeah, “An Ode To Rhino” definitely deserves some kind of dishonorable mention.

    #92 – I curse you for reminding me of the Sinbad Polaroid ad. May your dreams be haunted by those disturbing battery-powered people.

    One word: Dream On, er ah well two words.

    On the enjoyable side I did enjoy those CC “Your Gonna Win” spots with people dying (sp?) etc and then a jazz/swing tri would sing a little number. Ah junior high.

    So many annoying commercials — I LOVE the Psychic Connection commercials!!! I use the first one as a buffer between movies on double-layer DVDs — the one that begins “does your husband know you’re having an affair?” — and I will never, ever tire of it. Look at those women! I think the most annoying commercials on my tapes are 1) the Mike Meyers Heineken commercial where he’s getting a massage from some hot model, and 2) the home security epic that ends with the classic line, “the security you need, from the team you trust.” Trust? I have no idea who you are!!!
