Top 10 Worst Commercials of All Time
The absolute worst adverts ever made in the history of television! Ads that are either offensive, terrifying, or so bad they're actually hilarious. Feel free to add more.
This 2006 ad is notorious for being unbelievably annoying and repetitive. HeadOn is supposed to be some sort of product that can relieve headaches, but I'm pretty sure everyone started to get headaches from viewing this irritating ad. It features a woman placing the product at her forehead while the words "HeadOn! Apply directly to the forehead!" are repeated over and over again. This ad caught a lot of people's attention and started an Internet phenomenon, resulting in a lot of parodies.
"HeadOn! Apply directly to the forehead! HeadOn! Apply directly to the forehead! " God even after all these years it's still stuck in my head...
Hey Scriptwriter, I have something for You: Much needed expansion, Apply directly to the vocabulary!
I remember this commercial from my childhood this was so annoying.
I've never eaten at Quiznos but I honestly have a reason not to now that I know about these unholy monsters. They first appeared on the web singing a song called "We Like the Moon". Quiznos apparently thought the video was funny so (as ' morons) they decided to use the Spongemonkeys in their commercials. Thank god they were removed completely due to complaints from viewers.
Wow! Those Spongemonkeys sure look ugly and terrifying!
The voices are weird
Oh gosh. What is that?!
This commercial (directed by Alfonso Cuaron) is offensive towards autistic people, and it sparked a lot of controversy. Not only that, most things in that video are untrue.
Not everyone with autism is the same, we're just as variable as people without x, e.g some of us are quiet, some are loud, some of us are anxious, others are calm. Some of us are great at socializing, others struggle. I understand the intention of this advert but I think it sort of sounds like they're saying all autistics are the same way which I don't agree with xx.
Sorry I thought this was a different ad, I've seen an ad with a similar title to this which made a lot of generalisations about autistic people. but this ad is 10000 times worse than that one, I don't think autism speaks are searching for a cure anymore so hopefully they've changed their views on autism but this ad makes it out to be a disease which it absolutely isn't xx I'm proud to have autism :) x
Why isn't this higher up on the list? It wrongly and offensively generalizes autism as a burden.
This one just doesn't make sense at all, and it's creepy.
This ad just scared people away from gaming.
Makes no sense
Another Super Bowl commercial, and this one is highly racist. It shows two pandas with stereotypical Chinese accents. This ad was branded as offensive and racist and was quickly pulled from the air. SalesGenie stated that they never thought anyone would take offense cause the pandas themselves are Chinese. Yeah, like that's not stereotypical at all!
My version of commercial
Person who talks: It is your birthday but all things you get nothing can be anywhere as good as this gift
Robin: We have a gift for you
Person: We are cancelling and never airing Toddler Titans No! And replacing the airings with classic shows and Steven and Regular show and Adventure Time
Cyborg: Sounds crazy enough to work I like it
Titans: BEST DAY EVER!
Person: No more Toddler Titans No! You're new least favorite show.
I can't find my keys though.
This commercial sucks it drive me nuts I muted it when it came on
This commercial is so annoying it is annoying when she screams start the car
I'm not sure if there is one. I think the person who added this was thinking Happy the Happy Meal Box.
They shouldn't exist
This ad is wrong on so many levels. A 70s ad where it advertises Love's Baby Soft that's supposed to make you smell like a baby. If that wasn't odd enough, it also shows a full grown woman in baby clothes licking a lollipop seductively. What message where they trying to convey? That babies are sexy or something? I don't wanna know.
Now we also have images on this list. Thanks for adding them, Aragorn98.
Oh my god why did you remind me of this commercial's existence?!
I saw this commercial while on my elder ego on the summer I saw this same commercial but they are black this time and it still have the same voices that's how horrible the commercial is.
The animation in this knee brace commercial gives Clutch Cargo a run for its money.
Can someone make a video of this ad? I wish I saw it when did this ad come out on TV?
Grandma, slow down, I can't keep up!
Maybe you could use a knee brace, too!
This ad is obnoxious, stupid, and it looks like it was edited in Windows Movie Maker.
Funny pants and shoes
This commercial aired during the 2015 Super Bowl. Everyone knows those types of commercials are supposed to be fun, but this one wasn't as it features a child narrator who turns out to be dead, and it caused backlash among viewers. Nationwide even responded to the backlash, saying that it was supposed to start a conversation. If that conversation was about how Nationwide scared people, then yes. It succeeded.
Depressing and eerie
I mean this was a Super Bowl ad so of course it would be strange.
Move this one on up
This was crappy
This was funny
Commercial: Grubhub perks
Me: Uh you never come to anyone I know's house when they order so don't say perks plus why is that kid looking scared plus why the ugly designs and mayo is gross
Commercial: give you deals on the food you love the kind of deals that make you boogie.
Me: Why would anyone boggie over deals.
Commercial: man dances.
Me: Woah dude your digestion will go fast. I tried chewing while dancing that happned.

Me: Woah ugly design again also you can choke doing that.
Commercial: lady bends while drinking shake
Me: Not a good idea while pregnet. also another ugly design
Commercial: Shows kid confused then joins.
Me: No cringe again
Cosmo and Wanda: Hi we are your fairy godparents
Timmy: I wish the cringe Grubhub commercial was gone.
Wanda: Sorry Timmy it's against the rules to wish away cringe popular meme.
Timmy: Aw man!
Season 9 and 10 ending
Cosmo and Wanda: You're wish is our command!
Timmy: Yay
Everything about this commercial sucks from the annoying flute music to the fact that the characters can't even dance.
Should be number 1.
Because of this commercial I'll never order from them
I remember first seeing this ad when it first aired. I get this is a fish deboner, but my god could they not have made a better NAME? Is ANYONE going to take a product called "Wonder Boner" seriously? Even as a kid I laughed at this.
I saw this ad before on youtube. I was watching a video which the rules is not to laugh or grind and I didn't even laugh at it because I don't have a dull, rubbish dirty mind! But the ad was disgusting and odd.
We can all agree Nostalgia Critic brought us here.
Gee, I wonder what's next? The Master Baiter?
A political ad by Texas Govenor Rick Perry that was made during the time he was running for president in the 2012 Republican Party presidential primaries. It caused controversy for addressing gays in the military and religion in public schools due to Perry's disapproval of the former. As of June 2017, it's the 23rd most disliked video on YouTube and I can see why.
Most of the stuff in this video is untrue!
Republican does not approve!
This commercial featuring actor Brad Pitt advertising the perfume Chanel No. 5 is known for being needlessly dramatic and over-the-top. Even the dialogue itself tries way too hard to sound poetic. This ad was so bad that it was parodied and mocked for years.
He was the highest paid celebrity for an advert back in 2012 when it first aired. They made a mistake.
Disgusting, this would make you NOT want to buy Little Baby's Ice Cream. I wouldn't be able to have Little Baby's Ice Cream without this ad playing all the time.
I was like hold up when he said "I eat little babies... ice cream".
That face terrifies me.
Oh god that scared me
Nobody is gonna trust a Commercial about a Super Why ripoff character with Poorly animations skills.
There is no way I'd ever buy antivirus software from some ripoff of Super Why.
I thought I was the only one aware of this atrocity's existence.
It would be a lot better if it were Kids 4 Kars because these annoying kids need to be donated instead of cars.
Am I the only one who likes the jingle?
A British advert even more creepy than the other two I've mentioned below. It features a very human Humpty Dumpty speaking in a high-pitched gibberish.
I've already mentioned this in my anti-Kinder Surprise list so I'm just gonna say this. It's like if the British really hated children so they wanted to do abusive parents a favor by psychologically scarring them for life instead of beating them. If this is what they really intended then boy did they succeed. Good job Britain! A+! Gold star!
Since these things are sold in Canada, I think it's safe to say that I (as an American) am more comfortable living in my own country, even if Trump is our president...
If nostalgiatards think that the 80s were all happiness and rainbows then they haven't seen this pure abomination of hell.
That's what he looked like after he had a great fall.
