Design Crowd Made A Challenge To Create The Worst Ads Possible, And Contestants Have Answered The Call (42 Pics)
There's no such thing as bad advertisement? Well... This post will put this thought to the test. The ads we're going to show you today range from brutally honest to honestly brutal, and everything in between—they are anything but what the ad commissioners would ask for.
The people at the Design Crowd, a platform for amateur photo editors to share their works, have put their skills to the test in a contest where they had to create bad ads. The theme produced hundreds of submissions over several iterations, and we have gathered some of the best ones that we could find.
Even though the quality of these submissions is not professional by any means, remember that everyone even remotely good had to start somewhere. So feast your eyes on the bad designs, unpleasant truth, and quirky humor, and try to enjoy yourself.

This isn't the first time that Design Crowd's competitions have made it to Bored Panda. Many themes have been featured, like broken bounds of classical paintings, exaggerated objects in cities, animals as plants, and many more crazy and creative topics. If you're only starting with Photoshop, it's a great source of inspiration.

I remember as a kid, watching the old black and white Zenith TV, I loved the Frankenstein movies made in the 1930s starring Boris Karloff. Bride of Frankenstein was my favorite.

I love the 50s scifi, you know, where girl runs from monster, girl trips over dust mite, girl sits on ground screaming with back of hand to mouth, monster chomps, scream usually continues for a second or two.... repeat.

Does that guy not know that people are familiar with GE? Maybe if his generation didn't move production over seas and watch as the quality plummeted then maybe more millenials will be up on the brand.

A GE sales rep once told me they were planning to change their slogan to "better than the best." I thought it sounded pretentious and stupid at the same time. Apparently , I wasn't the only one, as it never came to pass.

It sounds like something ABC Dystopian All-Controlling Corporation(& Widgets) would have as a slogan before they buy out the entire solar system.

He was a good thing, but the problem was that Victor was an absolute jerkass.

We have every right to downvote him. He insulted millennials.

Would have been more effective if the creator knew the difference between "YOUR" and "YOU'RE!"

An old one: A petrol station assistant comes to a Hummer at the petrol pump: - Would you switch the engine off for a while, Sir? Otherwise your tank will never fill.

The Charmin Ultra Wide got me. Also, Why was the man with is head in the urinal trying to do Michael Jackson's lean?

Obviously he was at the club when Smooth Criminal started playing and went in to the lean but passed out half way down and smashed his head in to the urinal. Now he lays there. Unconscious with his head in someone else's Piss.
