Badvertising

Hands down, the most politically incorrect ad we’ve come across in the past five years.

Brand: Glutamax

We suppose gay men, when their skin tone is much lighter are happier and more sexually satisfied (see that blurred image of his partner behind him). And oh, even when you’re bleached beyond recognition, like that lady who looks like living death.

“For young achievers.” Nice.

Brand: Emperador Light Brandy

Cheers to the young achievers who this brand has lovingly dedicated their commercial to. We bet they’re drinking beer at a bar somewhere.

Sexual harassment, anyone? (at least his abs are nice.)

Brand: Evertrimm diet supplement

It’s not always easy being the office sex pot especially when your clothes mysteriously disappear throughout the day.

His voice hit puberty even before he did.

Brand: Palmolive “Cool Dude” Shampoo

Calling it out as the “coolest shampoo” for pre-teen boys on top of dubbing a teenage voice on some child earns this commercial a spot in Badvertisingblog.

Two commercials for the price of one!

Brand: Whisper sanitary pad

Yes, ladies. Even with your period, you can show us how you can easily do aerobics and yoga. We believe you, because y’all look so pretty.

Now if this were only a real commercial, it would have won the Badvertising award of the decade.

Brand: Jonel’s Brief

Where can you find actors that realistically look like macho dancers in ill-fitting jockeys? This student project rivals other badvertisements that actually have clients paying for them.

Yet another example of the hallucinogenic effects of eating peanuts (that strangely resemble potatoes.)

Brand: Sky and Happy Peanuts.

Irritatingly catchy jingle with weird lifestyle/sports shots of people interacting with giant bouncing potatoes, floating sky divers and what looks like to be some Arabs.

Children tripping on “Superstix” wafers.

Brand: SuperStix

Take a familiar children’s ditty, sprinkle it with horrible acting, show them consuming the product and get LSD-like hallucinations after.

Yes, smelling your ass while you talk on the phone is having a “twisted good time.”

Brand: Goya Twists Pretzel

Take the concept of “twist” literally and get your female protagonist looking like a twisted freak from some cheap-show carnie.

It’s necessary for you to repeatedly touch your wiener to show the product’s benefit.

Brand: Freshman Masculine Wash

With a tagline like “nag-Freshman ka na ba?” (have you tried a Freshman yet?), you can’t help but shudder at its sexist, double entendre meaning. Plus the protagonist looks extra sleazy. And we’re sure your nether-parts will thank you for ridding it of bacteria, moisturising it and keeping it fresh, all at the same time.
