You must be confused. This thread is for bad commercials.

I like the VW commercial with the dad (not) teaching his son how to play catch.

Even though I've bashed commercials that don't convey any information about the product they're advertising (all the VW one did was show what the car looked like), it at least made me laugh. The humor was unexpected and original enough that I'll make the concession that if I really want to know about the car, I can go online and look it up.

I wondered why he is throwing like a girl. It's supposed to be funny?

Yeah, I can watch Sofia do a lot of things for long amounts of time, but that Pepsi commercial at the wedding was pissing me off throughout the Globes.

This one is quite the sacrilegious bastardization but it was a pretty memorable one from the mid-'80s.

But yeah for how huge of a company they are and how many ads they've run they really haven't had anything good. Every commercial is basically a freshed-faced half-black/half-white woman talking to herself about how amazing her day is now because she just ate 3,000 calories of fatness.

I universally hate almost every commercial but here is one I like:

"But, we love golf.."
"I don't hate golf.."
"I'mma get some water for those flowers."

LOL

I don't know if Warren Buffett is the greatest investor or the greatest troll.

I agree but I'm saying at least they have had some memorable ones, sacrilegious as they may be. I was probably 7 when that came out though so maybe it was only memorable to kids my age.

that mcdonalds showdown ad was one of the best ads ever

to this day i think most guys my age would instantly know what you were talking about if you said "off the scoreboard nothing but net"

they did other installments of it, bringing in barkley who kept trying to get in on the game but they wouldnt let him play

then ofc they brought it back the other year for the superbowl with dwight and lebron

nothing can beat the original tho, what a classic

The tilting part is Jordan letting Bird free roll him for the big mac. You'd think somebody who supposedly took millions off of Pippen would be a better gambler.

Look at this....

They are horribad to me maybe because I watch so much baseball though, that one you posted made me LOL but I did work at a dealership. The ad is terrible but it's something I could imagine the old school guys I worked with thinking was good if they made it.

It may be annoying, but it's tells you plenty.

The thing about McDonalds is I don't think they really try to have "good" ads in the sense of being funny/clever/noteworthy. Those kinds of ads are used by companies trying to maybe increase awareness of a new product or actively battle for market share. McDonalds' position is so secure it's like they just have to remind you they exist now and then, and in the most broadly inoffensive way possible.
