How bad can an advert get?!

TS7 · 19 Mar 2017 at 16:34

I came across this advert just now and thought it was a parody until it finished.

The acting, the script - just wow, it's like they're deliberately mocking the type of person who goes for it. Unless I'm completely out of touch and it's really speaking to the target audience.

Anyway, can you beat how bad this ad with another one? (Keeping it UK or English based would be more interesting, I know there's some completely crazy ads from other parts of the world)

Yeah, was going to say... US ads are 10x worse. Absolute cringe fest.

Average American IQ is -100, so it works for them.

Wow...

For once I am lost for words

Why are the guys taking a deep sniff when entering a toilet that's the last bloody thing I'd want to do in a public toilet. It's normally hold your breath and pray not to catch anything.

LOL

had to google this:

the scores for some African countries are a bit :eek:

Two standard deviations below the mean is 'mental retardation' - for some African nations their average score is below that!

Grrr have to login to Facebook to get my IQ score after that test. However I suspect it to be rather low having not seen that coming/taking an online IQ test

I blame a lack of sleep

It makes more sense if you understand how IQ tests actually work.

You can't compare different countries and cultures with different tests for example.

Eh, seems like it would work for their target market.

Haha if it was just on YouTube I wouldn't have been so shocked. It was actually actually on TV! ITV I think.
