I thought it would be interesting to post up ads that are so bad that they make you not want to buy their product.
In my mind I was going to post about the Revo wireless guy with the chastity patch screaming at you with the batman camera angels.
Or 'Chad' with the goofy hair and smugness.
But then I saw something at Kroger that I had to actual walk up and touch, to make sure I was not hallucinating.
"Old Yeller Dog Food"
ohhhh my gawd.
Such BAD marketing

…I usually go to Giant Eagle, not Kroger, so I'm not that familiar with their product lines. But I dropped in there to pick up some dog food one day, and lo & behold…there it was. Old freaking Yeller dog food.
It's Disney branded, so I guess they went with the closest thing they had…although i think even putting Pluto on the bag would have been a better route.

Those are horrid. Even if i was considering switching to REVO I would think twice about having anything in common with such a douche.
Same with anything that ever used the word "Extreme" or any of it's various misspellings.
Furniture people who scream through the entire commercial piss me off. That guy on the "American freight" ads is losing his voice too, which is making it both irritating and pathetic all at once.
The worst commercial ever made, though, is the new series for Celebrex (the drug). It's an extra long spot consisting of almost nothing but a slow careful monologue about the possible side effects against a backdrop of objects made of the words being said. Seriously? Who the hell thought THAT would be effective?

have you seen the tv spot for this they have been running lately? I thought it was a joke.

Anything with someone screaming is out. Deformed kids staring into the camera, anything with jerking "strobe" video, and especially those negative political ads with the piano plinking minor notes in the background.
Generally when someone fills an add space with negative comments against their competitors, I wonder what they are trying to hide and don't they have any positive points about themselves.
But talking about political adds is another whole thread.

I've noticed that a snobby valley girl accent occasionally finds it's way into the Wendy's spokeswoman. For me, the attraction to Wendy's is natural food with Midwestern values, none of this tofu burger with sprouts crap.
It's Wendy's. It's not frozen, it's made to order good comfort food. That's why I go there.
But I may not speak for their demographic.
