Top 10 Creepiest Commercials Aired During Children's TV Programming

These are the scariest/creepiest adverts to ever air on children's television. Ads that are so bad they would make any child wanna turn off the TV and go outside for a while. Feel free to vote and remix if you want.
The Top Ten
Krinkles the Clown (Rice Krinkles)

"What? Krinkles isn't number 1? How could you?!"

That's very simple. The top three are more disturbing. But hear me out. This is still a truly disturbing commercial, appearing as number one on most scary commercial lists I've seen.

All it shows is an overly happy clown eating cereal. What makes this ad scary are two things. One, the whole ad is in black and white, so it already looks unnerving. Two, the design of the clown is very unsettling, with that long sinister grin painted across his face and those wide eyes. It kind of reminds me of the Overly Attached Girlfriend meme, only this time it's ten times creepier because it's a clown instead of a girl.

The Kinder Surprise Humpty Dumpty (Kinder Surprise)

I've already mentioned this ad a couple of times, so I'm just going to describe it. It's a British commercial featuring a very human Humpty Dumpty speaking in a high-pitched gibberish, saying weird things like "CHOCADOOBY!" before falling off his wall.

Believe it or not, the toy advertised in this commercial (Kinder Surprise) is still going strong today. And people say Krinkles is scary...

I'm from England, the home country of this, and I am SO sorry about this airing on TV.

This commercial makes me proud to be American.

Ronald McDonald Debut (McDonald's)

The McDonald's commercial that introduced Ronald McDonald to the whole world. But the weird part is that Ronald looks way more different than how he looks now.

His design is very unusual for a clown and he has a deep creepy voice. You may have always thought Ronald was terrifying, but wait till you see this Ronald.

Is that a yogurt cup on his nose? Jeez, he might get his schnozz stuck!

Baby Laugh-A-Lot (Remco)

This doll is just hideous to look at! It's a 70s commercial featuring a very creepy-looking doll laughing uncontrollably.

The kids in the ad even turn to the screen and look like they're terrified. The doll was so creepy looking that the company that made it had to recall it due to complaints from parents who said that the doll scared their children. Thank God, because if I ever had a kid I would NEVER buy him/her this demon-possessed abomination!

At least Tickle Me Elmo was made for kids to love and get hyped. This wasn't at all.

Baby Wee-Wee Doll (Famosa)

A commercial advertising a seriously inappropriate doll for children. It features little girls playing with a doll that actually has a little wang (I'm not making this up). Unlike the Magic Potty Baby ad, it actually shows a little boy doll's private part. As truly terrifying as the Humpty Dumpty advert is, I had to give this the top spot for pretty much being child pornography. I really don't get how the director of this commercial wasn't arrested.

PS3 Baby (PlayStation 3)

A PS3 ad featuring a baby doll in a room with the PlayStation 3. We see it come alive and laugh and cry. It didn't make any sense at all.

Believe it or not, this ad was part of a $150 million campaign. Let's just hope that the person in charge of that money was fired immediately.

Let's hope this never happens again!

The Creepy Australian NES Commercial (Nintendo Entertainment System)

An Australian NES advert featuring CGI Nintendo characters saying "YOU CANNOT BEAT US!" in creepy and distorted voices.

Video games already have a bad reputation for being violent, but I don't think it's wise for Nintendo to add to it by making creepy commercials like this.

The Creepy Little Sun (Sprite)

I put this low because this commercial is a parody. It parodies how poorly designed some mascots can be at times (which makes them look creepy).

I can respect it for that, but you still can't get over how overly cute that little sun guy looks with those eyes and that voice. It's still a creepy design.

Baby Secret (Mattel)

Another creepy baby doll commercial. While this one is not as bad as Baby Laugh-A-Lot, it's still pretty unnerving. The appearance of the doll is already creepy enough, but what makes it creepier is the fact that it whispers everything it says.

It kind of sounds like a serial killer ready to stab you in the head.

Magic Potty Baby (Tyco)

This one is just gross. Apparently, this toy is a baby girl that you're supposed to make take a leak, and you can actually see its urine coming down in a little cup.

If anything, this looks like something R. Kelly directed.
