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.

Yes, condoms have a lot of uses other than preventing baby bumps. They also curtail the spread of certain diseases. But the humor stands.

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 believe little people would understand the sarcastic humor in this ad. It's not like the creator could put a picture of a tiny penis in there.

The cars are so big that they take up more than one space - taking over the disabled bay would be a d! ck move that would go in hand with what the joke implies..

Yes. It's a joke and it means these drivers (generalization, of course, but who really needs these cars?) tend to be the kind of people that would take over many car spaces, including disabled bays (super do uche move). You are reading it wrong.

They always market these things as if the penis is the only thing that can satisfy a woman. Or that it’s the best or most “right” way. I think if we talked about and depicted the reality of women’s orgasms, there would be a lot less confusion and frustration with all parties involved. https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/female-orgasm

I'm so tired of the misconception that a good hard penis is what a woman needs to experience pleasure. It's what a MAN needs for pleasure, yes. But I derive nothing actual intercourse, and I hate when it's a shock to a man that I need FOREPLAY, not just his penis.

the bell material is not aestetic enough for this topic. no metal, please ... Would like to know, how much they earn with such ads ... viagra is too big for bad taste ...

I’ve been a serial chain smoker since I entered military service in the summer of 2009. However I got pregnant in early 2012. Obviously, I didn’t had a single cigarette during the entire 39 weeks I was pregnant. My baby was born 100% healthy. I resumed smoking once I stopped breastfeeding him (at 6 1/2 months).

Shelp, I will attempt to explain this a "non-disgusting" manner-- I will likely fail miserably. Ahem, jock itch usually occurs when athletes are wearing tighter-fitting workout clothing like compression shorts. Well, mix in some intense sweating and some general chaffing around the nether region, and you got yourself a wonderful prescription for some inappropriate and highly painful itching. This bad advertisement is saying that Sumo wrestlers are the perfect candidate for jock itch considering they are basically wearing one article of clothing that is in one hell of a prime spot for chaffing and itching.
