* hydrix: If asked what would be my most hated commercial of all time I would reply with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KKkKwrfyuj4 "The Theater of The Eye"]]. It admittedly has some decent cinematography, but it implies that the anyone who watches it will think that the advertisers think that TrueArtIsIncomprehensible. If you would see this ad the first time you probably [[DadaAd would not be able to guess what it is about]] (it's about [[spoiler: the UsefulNotes/SegaSaturn]]), but upon further inspection you might actually realize that it is indeed advertisement for the product and that it has a message, which can be summed up as this: [[spoiler: "Our system has the best graphics out of any system out there."]] Keep in mind that this is by the same guy who actually likes [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nxuna944dls this]] UsefulNotes/AtariJaguar commercial (for anyone wondering why I bring this up look at the Horrible/{{Advertising}} subpage of the "trope" DarthWiki/SoBadItsHorrible). As such I would have preferred that this ad was listed on that subpage instead, but alas.

** Scsigs: Now that you bring up Allstate, the one that pisses me off when I actually think about it is the one where [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cy34Xkb0k4k there's a couple eating a meal]] & the woman starts the commercial saying to the guy, "You know how you said men are superior drivers?", he agrees, & she goes on to talk about how she got the "safe-driving bonus check" & when he tries to defend, or maybe take back, what he said, or say, "you know you need to wait a while with something to see if you can keep up with it so your track record is pretty spotless," she says, "silence." Both times with the usual dude, Dennis is what the subtitles say, as that's his actor's name, dubs over her voice like in several other ads they've done in the same/a similar style. Where to even begin with this...First off, I've become incredibly salty towards the idea of gender politics in media in the last year or so. It's why I'll never have an inkling to see ''Film/Ghostbusters2016'', since the controversy around that movie overshadowed what was more or less a meh-to-bad comedy from what I've heard from reviews. Second, we have no idea how long they've been at the restaurant. It could've been a few minutes, or 20 (the amount of food on her plate makes it look like they've been there for a bit). So, to have this be the start of the commercial is really making the woman look stuck up & pretentious, if not downright petty, especially since it's her first check. Third, you don't give the guy a second to retract his claims? Fourth, what was this guy's reasonings for saying such a thing like that? Was it based in logic & facts, or was he just being an idiot? I've been driven by female drivers plenty of times & they were good drivers. To be honest, I've been more questionable of some male drivers I've gotten rides from. This isn't the 50s, or a terrible sitcom, girls drive as much as guys do & can be pretty damn good at it. So, why was this guy being like that? This is what I hate about the whole "2010s identity/gender/sexism" politics. No one who makes things that get shown on TV, for the most part, knows how to portray these things rationally, so we get baiting things like this. I get that the whole point of the ad was that she was standing up to a sexist asshole, but why does that have to be the focus of the commercial? The slogan says that the point was supposed to be that Allstate can give you the confidence to be a good driver, or something like that, but what does sexism have to do with confidence other than standing up to the asshole who's sexist (and even then, in this day & age, you're more likely to find someone who'll call someone out on sexist bullshit than not, so it's not exactly what needs confidence boosting if more people do it)? Here's an idea, Allstate, free of charge, have a few to several different commercials of people being nervous to drive because of either poor car insurance, or none whatsoever. Dennis, or someone, comes to them at work or something, asks why they seem like a nervous wreck, they explain, then the other person tells them about Allstate & the confidence they can get from knowing they're fully covered, they sign up, then are seen driving with the full knowledge they'll be all right if they get into an accident on the car side of things. Maybe throw in the check at the end as a bonus. There, done. If that's what they used to do, which I don't think they have, but I don't really remember either, then I don't see why they thought this was such a good idea. You can even have a lot of people from all walks of life; Whites, Blacks, Asians, Hispanics, etc. Maybe they speak a different language & have to be subtitled, I don't know, just something better than this piece of gender-baiting garbage. Who was the commercial supposed to appeal to besides 2010s man-hating feminists & SJWs anyways? Seriously, read the comments on that video. More people are calling it out than not.

* DahSupahBloopah: There was a General Mills' [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Oh54_GAM6zs commercial]] starring some of their mascots, like the Trix rabbit, the Coco Puffs bird and... [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers an orange.]] Suddenly, a kid voiced by Jeremy Shada of ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'' says that he has a problem, which is revealed to be that it's Wednesday. One of the mascots gets angry saying how [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext Wednesday stole his car]]. We then have an art shift to an eight bit style ''WesternAnimation/WreckItRalph'' joke that goes no where, and smacks of them trying to stay relevant, Oh, and then the Trix rabbit gives him some cereal, saying that he was just served! Breakfast, that is! It all smacks of seventy year olds trying to find out what kids like. Oh, and the Orange has the same voice actor as [[WesternAnimation/UncleGrandpa Mr. Gus.]] Kids like Uncle Grandpa, RIGHT!?!

Blatantly untrue. Not expecting spinoffs ≠ not wanting spinoffs, as clarified by Vincent Waller.


** [=SparkPlugTheTroper=]: Speaking of terrible Nickelodeon advertising, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VgPdjigdLc4 here]] is a promo for ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'' and ''WesternAnimation/LEGOCityAdventures'' from 2019 that proves just how stingy the network is when it comes to the first of those shows. It would be an unremarkable ad if not for the fact that it briefly uses someone's fanart based on ''[=SpongeBob=]'' [[https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-48853275 without their permission]] and removes the signature they wrote in the corner of the art. To me, this move feels literally unnecessary on Nick's part - I don't see how using someone's art at all, let alone passing it off as their own, is going to boost their money intake. Between this and greenlighting a spin-off of ''[=SpongeBob=]'' against the wishes of series creator Stephen Hillenburg, it seems Nick is now being run by Mr. Krabs and his notorious hunger for cash. I do hope that artist got some kind of compensation for this incident; I never checked.

* savagegenius: If there’s one thing I hate in TV shows, it’s when the only person that gets punished in a conflict is the one who (albeit over)reacted at someone who wronged them, and the person breaking up the fight [[SelectiveEnforcement doesn’t even consider the other side of the story that much.]] That brings me to my dethroning moment: a 1994 PSA from-out of all shows that could’ve done this-fucking ''Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers''. In it, a little boy steals his sisters’ cassette tapes, and deliberately breaks them after she tries to snatch them in a scuffle, all while mercilessly teasing her. Just as she’s about to retaliate by throwing them at him, Jason and Zack come in and scold her for her actions, with the boy simply smiling at her for getting into trouble. After a montage of them trying to get her to release her frustrations away from him, she eventually apologizes to her brother and hugs it out after explaining to him that she really doesn’t like when he takes her stuff. And what does the boy do? He fucking shrugs it off with a smirk! What’s worse, the two rangers never call the boy out for his schadenfreude, even though he was the one who went out of his way to cause the conflict in the first place. Excuse me, Fox, but doesn’t the entire theme of power rangers revolve around justice and nobility? In fact, I can think of two prime example of this tripe done right: Bulk and Skull, who always get punished for their actions whenever they cause trouble or decide to act like dicks (which is why many people consider them to be two of the best characters in the franchise). Bottom line, maybe you writers should stop condoning bullying between siblings and deal with the problem at hand!

* savagegenius: [[https://youtu.be/jgWGwusF0uc?feature=shared This]] Verizon ad for their iPhone 15 Pro deal. Even ignoring the blatant FalseAdvertising at play here (15 Pros are made of stainless steel, not titanium; Verizon does not just take “any phone”, as shown by them allegedly refusing to take an iPhone 5s; the iPhone itself must be paid at inflated price, despite the ad stating it’s “on them”), this ad is absolutely horrible, especially when I first saw it. It starts off with a family celebrating a young girl’s birthday until [[ManChild some random immature prick]] (Creator/SeanHayes) openly wishes for the new iPhone before proceeding to blow the candles out in front of her. The guy’s friend (Creator/JasonBateman) then pulls him all and explains that Verizon has a new deal that he can use to get it. And what does Mr. Asshat do? He proclaims, “Now I won’t have to ruin any more birthdays!” (which implies he did this several times before) right before stealing a piece of cake and blowing a party horn at the family’s face, all while having this shit-eating grin on his face. All I wanted to do at that point was deck him in the jaw.

* {{Tropers/Pgj1997}}: If you've been on [=YouTube=] during November of 2016, chances are you've seen ''(sigh)'' "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_M7j5SDtQw Sailor Moon’s Ford Fusion Dream]]". Now, for the record, I'm not a Anime/SailorMoon fan. However, if I were, I'd be pissed at this. I can tell they chose one of the most iconic scenes from the original animé to catch the viewers' attention. All is normal until Usagi says "the constellation of the new Ford Fusion! ''({{squee}}'')". Then the whole thing just turns into a generic car commercial. Way to pull at our heartstrings, Ford. Now go enjoy the rabid fans in the comment section. Luckily, the ad's skippable, but still.

* DarkCyberWolf: For this troper, it's the Cougar Life commercial. A woman goes up and asks the audience "Tired of meeting the same type of women in bars?" Then she tells a random woman that she needs a sandwich, shoves the sandwich in her FACE, and the woman just goes "Ugh! Meat!" The first woman continues talking to the audience with "Immature girls who think that they're 'all that'?" After that, she tells another random woman who asked her date "Oh, so you're a computer geek," that she "folds sweaters for a living, honey." Then she discusses the idea behind the Cougar Life, and how older women want young guys "just like you!" It ends with a third random woman asking a guy, "Buy me a drink?" before this woman shoves her out of the way and asks the guy, "How 'bout I buy you a drink?" Then the guy smiles. Now, here's my issue with it: The first random woman didn't say something like "Ugh, carbs" or "Ugh, food" (neither of which would have been funny anyway). She says "Ugh! Meat!" To me, that implies that Random Woman #1 might've been a vegetarian. Even if otherwise, there was NO reason to just force feed the sandwich to her. Then the second random woman doesn't really seem like she's being rude - computer geeks are getting way more respect these days, but then the woman just goes up to her and says "You fold sweaters for a living." And? What exactly is wrong with that? Now for Random Woman #3, who asked a guy if he'd buy her a drink. Then our "protagonist" shoves her out of the way without the guy answering and asks herself. This was not funny, it does not portray the other women as immature, it just portrays this woman as a total JerkAss.

* Tropers/MightyMewtron: There's a Little Caesar's ad that starts off with a cute little kid in a chef's outfit talking to his class about his dream to change the history of pizza and make a pizza with the most cheese and the most pepperoni, who believes he can do it because his parents say he can do anything he puts his mind to and he believes in himself. Everyone else in the classroom looks absolutely touched by his aspirations. Is this the kid who's going to grow up to invent the newest Little Caesar's pizza? No, sadly, the punchline is the smug CEO bluntly saying, [[MoodWhiplash "Sorry, kid, it's been done."]] The kid starts to say "But my dream!" but the announcer cuts him off to talk about the new pizza with the most cheese and pepperoni. It isn't very funny, and doesn't make me crave pizza, just makes me angry at the guy shooting down a kindergartner's dreams because Little Caesar's is already so good that no one should aspire to improve upon it (not to mention the amount of cheese and pepperoni obviously isn't the maximum amount, so the kid ''could'' always create something even better, but not that the company would ever admit they aren't the best).

** Scsigs: Now that you bring up Allstate, the one that pisses me off when I actually think about it is the one where [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cy34Xkb0k4k there's a couple eating a meal]] & the woman starts the commercial saying to the guy, "You know how you said men are superior drivers?", he agrees, & she goes on to talk about how she got the "safe-driving bonus check" & when he tries to defend, or maybe take back, what he said, or say, "you know you need to wait a while with something to see if you can keep up with it so your track record is pretty spotless," she says, "silence." Both times with the usual dude, Dennis is what the subtitles say, as that's his actor's name, dubs over her voice like in several other ads they've done in the same/a similar style. Where to even begin with this...First off, I've become incredibly salty towards the idea of gender politics in media in the last year or so. It's why I'll never have an inkling to see ''Film/Ghostbusters2016'', since the controversy around that movie overshadowed what was more or less a meh-to-bad comedy from what I've heard from reviews. Second, we have no idea how long they've been at the restaurant. It could've been a few minutes, or 20 (the amount of food on her plate makes it look like they've been there for a bit). So, to have this be the start of the commercial is ''really'' making the woman look stuck up & pretentious, if not downright petty, especially since it's her first check. Third, you don't give the guy a second to retract his claims? Fourth, what was this guy's reasonings for saying such a thing like that? Was it based in logic & facts, or was he just being an idiot? I've been driven by female drivers plenty of times & they were good drivers. To be honest, I've been more questionable of some ''male'' drivers I've gotten rides from. This isn't the 50s, or a terrible sitcom, girls drive as much as guys do & can be pretty damn good at it. So, why was this guy being like that? This is what I hate about the whole "2010s identity/gender/sexism" politics. No one who makes things that get shown on TV, for the most part, knows how to portray these things rationally, so we get baiting things like ''this''. I get that the whole point of the ad was that she was standing up to a sexist asshole, but why does ''that'' have to be the focus of the commercial? The slogan says that the point was supposed to be that Allstate can give you the confidence to be a good driver, or something like that, but what does ''sexism'' have to do with confidence other than standing up to the asshole who's sexist (and even then, in this day & age, you're ''more'' likely to find someone who'll call someone out on sexist bullshit than not, so it's not exactly what needs confidence boosting if more people do it)? Here's an idea, Allstate, free of charge, have a few to several different commercials of people being nervous to drive because of either poor car insurance, or none whatsoever. Dennis, or someone, comes to them at work or something, asks why they seem like a nervous wreck, they explain, then the other person tells them about Allstate & the confidence they can get from knowing they're fully covered, they sign up, then are seen driving with the full knowledge they'll be all right if they get into an accident on the car side of things. Maybe throw in the check at the end as a bonus. There, done. If that's what they ''used'' to do, which I don't think they have, but I don't really remember either, then I don't see why they thought ''this'' was such a good idea. You can even have a lot of people from all walks of life; Whites, Blacks, Asians, Hispanics, etc. Maybe they speak a different language & have to be subtitled, I don't know, just something better than ''this'' piece of gender-baiting garbage. Who was the commercial supposed to appeal to besides 2010s man-hating feminists & SJWs anyways? Seriously, read the comments on that video. More people are calling it out than not.

** AjWargo: You wanna know what’s really offensive about this disgusting commercial? Go back and watch the original one, and then go back and watch this new trash one. Notice anything about it? The Kiss that stupid girl takes is the same one that concludes the jingle and wipes itself off! That’s right, it’s not like she has to take any other Kiss, she has to take ''that'' one in particular! And what’s to say that this dumb girl and her equally bad father didn’t use the rest of the choir in their baking as well? They just murdered and ate an entire icon of the Christmas season right before your eyes! This is on par with a Crazy Good Pop-Tarts commercial in how utterly disgusting this is!

* Tropers/{{Thepenguinking2}}: The ads to the mobile game ''Hero Wars'' embody everything I hate about mobile game advertisements: [[NeverTrustATrailer blatantly fake gameplay]], terrible and janky animation, "gameplay" that insults your intelligence, so on and so forth. But then at some point in time, they must've had a lot of complaints from people, or the player count was so small in spite of these [[SarcasmMode incredibly well-thought out ads]], so they had a new idea; they were going to start to appeal to fetishes. By somewhere around 2023, they started shamelessly adding references to scantily clad monster girls, face-stepping, giantesses, vore, cuckoldry, {{bestiality|IsDepraved}}, and even masturbation in one ad... all while still sticking to the same old blatantly fake, poorly animated gameplay that insults your intelligence. And I've seen these while playing mobile games that are family friendly and are probably played by several children. [[ThinkOfTheChildren Do they want those innocent kids to see this!?]]



* batmany: Recently, there's been an advertisement shown on game apps for a product called "Flex" (a reusable menstrual cup). Now, advertising for a woman's bodily needs isn't a problem. The way this ad goes about advertising it, however, is nothing short of absolutely disgusting. What happens in the ad? Well, a woman (who is on her period) is finishing her job interview. She stands up, and there's a stain of blood on the boss's white chair. That's nasty enough, but it gets worse. The boss and the lady then start shaking hands with increased vigor as the lady starts bleeding profusely from her, well, you know. They then just both start staring awkwardly at each other as blood oozes down the lady's leg. Just, what the hell where these advertisers thinking? Yes, women have accidents during their monthly. Yes, it can lead to some uncomfortable moments. However, that's not how you advertise your product! Nobody wants to see a woman bleeding profusely from her lady parts! Not to mention, no human being bleeds that much out their lady parts unless they've been severely injured or they have some sort of medical condition. It is one of the most appalling things I have seen in a long time. I'm not only offended as a woman, but I'm also offended as a human being in general. To the people who invented Flex, why in the name of Lady Gaga's meat suit would you ever think I would want to try your product after seeing ''that''?
