Top Ten Companies With the Worst Commercials

The Top Ten
1 Progressive Founded in 1937, Progressive is an insurance company that primarily focuses on auto insurance. Based in Mayfield Village, Ohio, the company also offers home, boat, and motorcycle insurance. Progressive is known for its "Name Your Price" tool, which allows customers to customize their insurance plans.

Yeah, there's a reason I prefer Geico's commercials over Progressive's. Now, don't get me wrong, I think most of their ads are decent, but most of them can go from cringy to downright cursed. I mean, they brought in Sonic The Hedgehog for a 2012 commercial to appeal to gamers and fans of the Blue Blur, but it resulted in a lot of angered fans and me wanting to skip the ad. Why did Flo tell Sonic to stop, even though that's his whole thing, to go fast? And the animation style at the end looked way too similar to Sonic Unleashed's graphics, making gamers want to put off Sonic Unleashed for a year. Just how low can Progressive sink?

Yeah, Flo sucks the big one! But, the worst of the worst is the one where that idiot guy (don't know, or care to know his name) is passionately training the choir to sing (don't these people ever work? ) and cries in the two seconds it takes them to perfect their singing, once he hands them the 'set you own price,gun...thingy.

It pisses me off to think that all of their clients (dupes) are contributing, financially to the production of commercials by people who don't even have the creative talents of a child. Why don't they 86 the commercials and pass the savings on to their customers?
Then, they actually could boast of saving their clients money!

I think Flo is bad but I hate the box even more. He has 4 commercials. The worst commercial is the 3rd one. He was the judge of a contest, and he picked himself as the winner which was against the rules. THAT BOX IS SO MEAN AND SELFISH!

There's no way I'd EVER buy this insurance because of Flo.

I don't prescribe violence for anything, but if there was EVER a fictional character that I wouldn't mind getting hit by a bus, it's FLO.

2 Kellogs

Kellogs is okay I guess...

3 Nickelodeon

In one commercial they compared Sanjay and Craig to SpongeBob. They also had one where BOB and Mikey were having a rap battle, and Mikey won even though he was just making noises with his mouth. BOB was actually rapping! Both of those commercials are horrible. They also compared Every Witch Way and Max and Shred which have nothing in common.

Their commercials are cancer. They promote the crap shows over the actually good shows. Plus they try way too hard to be hip and cool with emojis, texting, selfies, memes, "bae", "roasts", and Whip/Nae Nae

Some of their shows are good, most are bad, but the commercials are worse than the actual shows themselves.

So well-said, RalphBob. Lest we forget the silly catfight Jennette McCurdy and Ariana Grande had. I feel so bad for Victoriua Justice because Ariana Grande got more praise for blaming her for no reason. :( - The Ultimate Daredevil

4 DirectTV

They used to have good ads, but the "Hannah and Her Horse" campaign is the worst one yet.

Oh God, Hannah and her horse was the most disgusting commercial yet.

So sick of Bon Jovi...

I find them Awesome.

5 Disney The Walt Disney Company, commonly known as Disney, is an American diversified multinational mass media and entertainment conglomerate headquartered at the Walt Disney Studios in Burbank, California.

They even managed to make gravity falls seem stupid... That was the unfortunate reason I didn't watch it at first.

Liv and Maddie *cough cough*

6 ABC Mouse

"Once upon a time my child was behind in school but then I found this dumb site and he became smart thank you ABC mouse (plays bad jingle)"

This site is crap. It's just letting your kid play video games and not actually learn anything

They completely forget to point out that it costs MONEY to use this site.

Oh man I am so glad this crap is here. Abcmouse.com's marketing campaign has been the same for 4 years. One girl was 5 or 6 and could only count to 20. Damn

7 Lunchables

What is the company trying to advertise? That they put platypus in their food?

Lunchables are disgusting. But their commercials are WORSE.

A dancing platypus and rabbit with gym clothes on. Ha, ha. NOT!

I hate all their adverts.

8 Supercell Supercell is a mobile game development company founded in June 2010 in Helsinki, Finland. The company's debut game was Gunshine.net.

Come on! I love clash of clans! Give me a reason why supercell ads are so bad?! I love the clash of clans ads!

9 Liberty Mutual

This need to be number one the fact that Cartoon Network is higher just for one show sickens me it should be number one believe it or not progressive five times better I hate changing the channel all the time Nat geo wild you failed me find better ads

Their theme song is a damn joke. A snake crawling over an 808 machine would create a more interesting and creative theme song. Get some creativity you lame ass song writers

It's always the same commercial! Someone tells a story about you going into some dumb accident in your car and you get happy because you get their insurance!

Palkiaking: its OK until the Brad commercial. I mean no one gives a crap about Brad! It's just annoying and they use the same thing over and over and over! Get to the point already!

Their ads cause cancer.

15 Nationwide Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company and affiliated companies is a group of large U.S. insurance and financial services companies based in Columbus, OH. In 2015, they released a very controversial ad featuring a boy who died by drowning in a bathtub.

THEY ADVERTISE THIS ON NICKELODEON. It's A KIDS CHANNEL! Imagine a kid asking Santa what they wanted for christmas. Santa: "Ho Ho HOO! What do you want for Christmas this year? Child: "Nationwide to be on my side! " Santa: "I don't give people insurance, kid." "But I saw that it's the latest trend! " Santa: "I thought your parents were on State Farm! "

Nationwide is never on your side when you hope for it making good commercials should be their new slogan.

All they're doing is singing unrelatable reasons that they are quote "on your side" Even when you're on Progressive.

PalkiaKing: well well well... It's my third bane of existence. I have to admit the commercials really suck bullcrap! Enough said.

16 Cartoon Network Cartoon Network is an American basic cable and satellite television channel that is owned by the Turner Broadcasting System division of Time Warner.

Its commercials are repetitive and annoying.
...Pop Cartoon Network up, and you'll
see how terrible the commercials are.

They kept on showing promos for Teen Titans GO!

Teen Titans Go! My least favorite show!

17 Adult Swim
18 GoDaddy GoDaddy is a publicly traded Internet domain registrar and web hosting company. As of January 2016, GoDaddy was said to have had more than 61 million domain names under management, making it the world's largest ICANN-accredited registrar. As of December 2021, GoDaddy had more than 21 million customers and over 6,600 employees.

Danica Patrick decided "Oh I'm too lazy to race, I will make "ideas" on GoDaddy! " Even the name is sexist

They make disgusting commercials...

Bunch of idiots

19 McDonald's
20 Entresto

I can't stand their "Tomorrow" commercial. All it does is leave you in a depressed mood and not thinking about their product. Every time this commerical comes up I change the channel and wait for it to end. Can they advertise in another way instead of ruining what was a good song and putting you in a depressed mood?

I really hate this commercial, but old people seem to enjoy it. The wording doesn't even make any sense" Tomorrow tomorrow I love you tomorrow" What it is? Stop playing that commercial, PLEASE or I will stop watching your channel.

They have commercial were people sing "Tomorrow". It will and already has gotten annoying

We all mute or shut the T.V. off when this comes on (including some that are over 65.) Very bad pitch/advertising and unrelatable to the "target" audience who find it equally annyoing.

21 Xfinity

Lies! Lies! All lies!

22 Carl's Jr.

Dear Carl Karcher: Stop using Soft Porn To sell your burgers WE DEMAND to pull your Ads and also fire your marketing officer.

23 The Real Cost
24 Health Hotline

You know your commercials are bad when the animation is just clip art taken from Google Images but with moving lips reminiscent of Clutch Cargo.

25 Yoplait

I hate the French women talking to a cow.
