Worst Commercials Ever | The Boneyard

Worst Commercials Ever

I didn't even need to open this thread to know Cars 4 Kids would be brought up in the OP.

Those Vonage commercials from the early-mid 2000s had terrible music.
 
Kars 4 Kids is truely awful.

I can’t stand the commercials during March Madness, World Cup, etc. where they rotate the same 7 or 8 commercials for weeks.
 
Instantly comes to mind...

 
No hate for the Apple Commercial? That commercial is sadder than a Tracy Chapman single.

On TV, Radio or Sattelite.

First up.

The AWFUL apple ad with the son “story of an artist”. I was going to post the video but I would feel bad spreading that nonsense.

With the purposefully awfully sung awful song? Yeah that crap needs to die in a fire

Second.

1-877 Cars 4 Kids. Just kill me.

Man that takes me back (even though I’m only 27). Grew up religiously listening to WFAN with dad in the car, became a kind of habit.

Then one summer I worked at the cart barn at a golf course, mostly on my own charging and moving carts, with no company besides some crummy radio. I could feel my sanity slip with each introductory set of notes for that terrible jingle.
 
The voice-overs in prescription med commercials. Instant channel-changers.

Any commercial for charity that shows starving and or abused kids or animals.

I was telling someone the other day I have no idea how Apple has the following it does - that commerical alone makes me never want to see their logo again.

Kars4Kids is even worse when you find out it hides the fact it’s a front for a religious charity.

I was just saying the other day that my next phone won’t be an Apple.
 
Kars4 Kids is a Jewish charity apparently with the goal of connecting kids to their Jewish heritage.

"In 2017, the Minnesota Attorney General conducted a compliance review and submitted a 300 page report to the IRS. The report found that only 44% of funds raised by Kars4Kids went to good works, and that the charity had invested in a Ponzi scheme, in addition to losing $9.2 million from real estate projects controlled by the second cousin of the Kars4Kids CEO."

Production value is bad, but what really stands out is that someone thought "Dumpy the Pumpkin" was a decent name for an ice cream cake.

I saw the thread title and was going to offer up that exact same commercial. Drives me batsh-t.

It makes me not want to buy apple products so bad.

The self aggrandizement of the whole thing is nauseating.

I like how they both use the same scrotum shaped cake mold.
 
Not sure if any of the quad tape reels still exist but the live commercials done by Frank Field and Tex Antoine just prior and just after their weather forecasts all through the 60's were so bad they were hilariously funny. Antoine was so bombed he falls down in one of them. Field would be doing a short 10 sec commercial and Johnny Carson would walk on to the set. Lol
