Most hated ad campaigns? - Maggers - 06-24-2011

Especially at the 3-sec mark. How many people pull their hair in a melodramatic way to make their point? Anybody?
Marc,
Are you aware that this is the exact same ad but with different actors that has been running for nearly 30 years in NYC. Maybe the old version played elsewhere, too. In NYC market they've been showing the re-shot ad (your video) for about a year now. It has the exact same dialogue, the exact same inflections in the actors' readings, the exact same situations, EXACTLY the same in every respect, except they replaced the actors. I've never seen that done with an ad before.
I can quote you the entire commercial 'cause I've been hearing it nearly daily for 30 years. Oie!

I have no idea what those commercials are trying to say.
I adore that ad.

By the time they get done listing all the possible side-effects, I figure I'd rather feel a little unwell than risk all that.
Liam has been amazed by the outrageous number of American TV drug ads with all their deliterious side effects that air nightly. They don't do that in Australia.

And as Webby said, the side effects would seem to outweigh the benefit ot the drug.
"Got dry skin? Want to fix it? Try Moisty2000 and you will have soft, supple skin"
****Warning, side effects may include blindness, deafness, loss of taste, anal leakage (actually heard that one as a side effect for something), and in rare cases death****

I shocked and amused my roommate at the same time when I started laughing at one of the potential side effects for both Cialis and Viagra.
When she asked me what was so funny, I explained to her that if I had an erection that lasted four hours, I'm not the only one who'd need a doctor!
The ads that yank my crank are those stupid Free Credit Report dot com commercials.

You should write pharmaceutical ads for a living.

This is a Japanese moving company TV ad. Everybody says "I hate this".
Me too. These three annoy me.
