The worst commercials to grace your TV in the past decade

Dove, 2017

Jaws dropped when Dove debuted a three-second Facebook advertisement in which an African-American woman removed her shirt and magically transformed into a white woman. Critics decried that it was reminiscent of racist soap ads from the last century that showed black people scrubbing their skin to become white. Dove removed the clip almost immediately and apologized, saying the post had “missed the mark in representing women of color thoughtfully.”

Right now I'd say the "Kars4Kids" is the commercial I hate the most--I always change channels when it comes on. There is no information about who's behind it (so no idea if any children are actually being helped), but it's on so often they must be getting some results. It seems like Fox has it every ten minutes.

Next to that are the Progressive Insurance commercials. "Flo" is insufferable and the men all seem to be gay or "metrosexual." And the bit about "becoming your parents" is insulting to anyone who has any respect for older people.

Way too many insurance commercials on TV. I would never buy Liberty Mutual insurance just because of their commercials--they don't own the Statue of Liberty.

A few commercials are funny the first few times you see them (like some of the GEICO commercials with the lizard, or the old Aflac commercials with the duck) but after a while they all become tiresome.

Here is one of the BEST DANCING commercials from 1970! Ann Miller! Choreography by Busby Berkley!

If you will research those, you will find that many are using actual songs. The songs are very good songs that have a large number of people who know the song. 🙂👍

Progressive Insurance commercials. "Flo" is insufferable

Come on dude, I love Flo! Don't be harsh on her......

My favorite worst commercial. ABF abuses husband again and again. Then... She flings a Pepsi can at him but it hits a white girl. She runs off.

 

Link.

I think the kids in the “1-877-Kars-for-Kids” commercial should be deported.

99.99% pure!

I guess my point is.

The plot of the commercial is something like, “Hey, I just found these new cotton swabs. My ear wax will never have a chance now!”

Then 14 random people start dancing with the guy/gal as they are so damn excited.

To me it is just is so randomly odd, almost creepy, yet nobody else seems to think so.

She definitely made her mark with that ‘other side of the emerald portal’ movie.

Okay, I am not familiar with that ad apparently. 🤣

Most of what I watch, I tape it so that I can avoid the ads, to be perfectly honest. 😁

But is does sound lame, and explains why I tape before watching. The added advantage is that I can watch it when I want to, instead of when it is being aired. 🤙
