It's too bad HeadOn isn't more recent. If it was, it'd have nominations all over the place. As it is, though, it gets only a dishonorable mention.
|
I think HeadOn commercials were a publicity stunt. Sure, it's possible they were actually stupid enough to release such a horrible commercial, but c'mon, the ad is so incredibly horrible, who could have possibly missed it? And now look: EVERYBODY knows about their product.
As for the most annoying commercial ever, I'd have to go with: "Crossfire, you'll get caught up in the, Crossfire, Crossfire, CROSSFIIIYAAAAA! *whuah!*" The last time I heard that commercial was when I was like 6, for christ's sake. I even remember the kid's happy face on the commercial. It has been stuck in my head consistently for over 10 years! As for modern atrocities, I'd have to agree with the new burger king commercial, mac commercials, and voltswagon commercials. There is no possible way you can make a VW cool, so stop trying, please. Mercury Milan commercials enrage me. The girl especially is such a bad actor. Oh, and Lipozene. It comes on probably 1000 times a day on comedy central, it's an annoying scam, and the lady who is on the commercials is pure evil; you can see it in her eyes. | |
Yeah, I didn't even think of those Volkswagen ads. It's bad enough they're featuring car munchkins, but worse that they're squashing those munchkins' cars with some German fop who sounds like he has a hamster crawling around in his ass. "Ve are goink to un-pimp zhyour awto!"
The "three V-Dubs for under 17,000" are also pointless, but thankfully that's all they are. They just fall flat for me. | |
The "three V-dubs" ads are under the block in several categories. The phrase first came up in the "umpimp your auto" commercials, which were alarmingly stupid, but I could see the sort of wacky schtick they were going for even though they failed horribly. But "V-dub" fit only there. The new ads just make it sound as stupid as, well, it is.

Forgot about this, but Worst Slogan? Dr. Scholls' "Are you gellin'?" takes the cake. Every time I hear that, I just wish that the painful sensation in my head was a fatal aneurism instead of annoyance.

Because I just have to revive it.
The new coca-cola advertisement. | |
I'm not sure that I've seen the new Coke ads, but the return of the pedophile's bloody facial to Chef Boyardee is not welcome.
