16427: Not Cool.

 

Not sure why someone thought this was a good promotion. Did the jewelry store identify its audience as romantic tailgaters?

16253: Dammit, DampRid.

 

Musty odors? Everybody DampRid—with parody lyrics from Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now) by C+C Music Factory. The creative team responsible for this should be locked in a musty closet for life.

 

 

15930: Lift Every Gut…

 

This MiraLAX banner is the shit. Actually, it’s just shit.

15695: Titanic Shit.

 

Is it odd that cruise line Seabourn is running an advertisement that looks like a passenger went overboard?

15567: WTFrogs.

 

Looks like the Budweiser frogs…oh, never mind.

 

15562: Not Feeling It, Fleet.

 

It would have been better if the copywriter who shat out this Fleet commercial experienced writer’s block…

 

 

15525: Talk To The Hand, Tiger Cub Enthusiasts.

 

Whoever thought this was a good idea should be slapped with lots of hands.

15286: Wildlife Defenders A Little Looney.

Was this campaign from Thailand inspired by Wile E. Coyote?

 

 

15243: Have A Coke And A Smile.

 

Considering the classic faces-and-vase optical illusion, does looking at the advertisement below make anyone else think: Coochie-Cola…? (Sorry, it’s been a long week.)

15146: If You Don’t Save For Retirement, You’re An Ass(et).

Ok, who’s the smart ass who sold SmartAsset as this financial company’s name?

15060: Change The Way Your Lack Of Creativity Is Valued.

Looks like Patreon lets you take back creative control—when shooting porn videos.

14666: Oh Brother—This Is A Bad Father’s Day Campaign!

Father’s Day in Nigeria inspired a deadbeat concept.

14662: WTF LG BS.

WTF is this LG campaign from India trying to communicate—that the XBOOM Handy will help you completely ignore nature? Forget simply being a nuisance on public transportation. Now you can pollute the entire environment with your tunes.

14623: The Next-To-Last Straw.

The Last Straw was not the last straw. Here’s yet another anti-straw advertisement featuring turtles. Are all these hacks working from the same lame brief?

14338: Nailed It. Not.

The Canadian creative team responsible for this nail fungus campaign deserves a foot in the ass.

14319: Shaft Shift.

Partners Andrews Aldridge is responsible for this Current Account Switch Service commercial using the theme song from Shaft. How did things go from “…the Black private dick that’s a sex machine to all the chicks…” to gleefully dancing in the street and handing out ice cream cones?

14170: Just Screw It.

USA TODAY reported on the departures of Nike executives accused of inappropriate workplace behavior. Does anybody else wonder—given the sports brand’s long-standing relationship with White advertising agency Wieden + Kennedy—if there might be some inappropriate behavior involving both companies? Surely W+K executives weren’t completely oblivious to the bad-boy behavior of Nike perpetrators. Plus, were there any instances of mutual mischief? Just wondering.

14163: Peruvian Paint Bomb.

For American Colors, DDB in Peru paints the competition as careless, callous and criminal. Okay, but the campaign fails to present the advertiser as beautiful in comparison. Hell, it almost makes viewers feel bad about living in a civilized society.

14145: Dog Shit From Pedigree.

This Pedigree campaign from BBDO in Chile is, well, a dog. The agency explained that older adults only connect with family members on birthdays and holidays, so adopting a pet could provide companionship throughout the entire year. Wow, that’s asking the viewer to fetch a lot of information. The actual net impression is that Pedigree is selling dog food for senior citizen consumption.

14011: Whitening Willie & Lester?

Is this BurgerFi commercial paying homage to Willie and Lester for Mickey D’s?
