Every year, without fail, “creative” directors — and I use the word “creative” lightly” — come up with the most bone-headed, ridiculously stupid, are-you-friggin’-kidding-me TV commercials that we all have had the misfortune of watching. Repeat offenders tend to be Starburst, Skittles, Progressive (so when will Flo retire?), and Geico (remember that awfully annoying “wee” pig?). But this time around, there’s a new brand that has taken over and terrorized our TV screens…
Check out 11 of the worst television commercial that we’ve had to endure this year.
Mio
Why anyone would be compelled to buy Mio after watching one guy morph into short rootin’ tootin’ Black cowboy is beyond me…
Sonic
Okay seriously, how often do we have to watch these two morons banter in their car holding food that never actually end up eating?
Old Navy
Amy Poehler, we respect your craft on the big screen, but please, for the love of all things holy, please stay away from the Old Navy commercials — before you morph into the new Flo!
MayTag
Personifying our home appliances, Maytag shows us exactly what our dishwasher would be like if it were an actual human — and we hate it. Please spare us the visual of some random guy licking filthy dishes thanks.
Geico
Geico has finally heeded our pleas to get rid of the talking pig commercials — only to replace them with the “Everybody knows that” and “Well, did you know [insert some horrendously incorrect fact]?” dialogues. What usually follows is some God-awful skit that honestly makes us want to claw our eyes out.
Time Warner Cable
There’s no bride — at least none in the right minds — that would wear a damn DSL modem, around her neck, down the aisle to meet her husband. Seriously, who was the brilliant “creative” director behind this one?
Sprint
Can somebody please explain to me what a talking hamster — who has a human son, oddly enough — has to do with promoting HD quality phone calls? I’ll wait…
CDC: Tips from Smokers
I understand that the Center for Disease Control wants cigarette smokers to truly understand the devastating effects of long-term smoking, but come on — give us a break! Some of these commercials aren’t meant for the faint of heart!
Old Spice
en>
I don’t even know where to start with this one. All I can say is that I can’t wrap my head around the fact that someone actually got paid handsomely for this pathetic Old Spice commercial. After Isaiah Mustafa and Terry Crews, it’s all gone downhill…
Progressive
No “Worst TV Commercials” list would be complete without Progressive’s annoying ol’ Flo, right? In this commercial, Flo explains how a “home and auto bundle” is made and we’re somehow finding ourselves having dirty thoughts about a car and a garage getting it on…
2015 Toyota Sienna
Surpassing all of the other previous commercials in pure idiocy, Toyota’s latest commercial takes the cake. This White family rapping is the ultimate assault to our eyes and ears. And Busta Rhymes, because you decided to appear in this piece of you-know-what, we’re going to have to excommunicate you from the hip hop community.
