In this day and age, getting someone's attention is hard work, we are overstimulated with ads of all types, all battling for our attention. But some ads are so downright terrible that netizens had to stop and take stock to document a marketing team's outright failure.
This is such a phenomenon that multiple online groups now existed, solely dedicated to gathering and sharing the worst advertisements out there. So make sure to get comfy and scroll through the most bizarre marketing decisions on the internet, upvote your favorite,s, and comment if you have encountered anything as weird in the wild.

Yeah, I don't know what DNA I need to have to make chicken tenders and fries the best diet for me.
Sooo... we are supposed to eat babies? Sounds kind of mean / gross / illegal.
Technically eating a baby isn't illegal in most place, the issue comes in sourcing your baby meat!
Load More Replies...Actually, humans evolved to enjoy fat to avoid protein poisoning, so chicken tenders are tailored to our DNA.
I don't know what genetic code makes this diet ideal, but it sure as s**t isn't mine!!
I guess we’re not even trying anymore, huh.
reminds me of those flat cardboard dolls you could buy with different paper outfits you could put on them
I've seen this before, so familiar.... lion-with-...906331.jpg
It looks so powerful, it's probably the Karenator 9000.
Load More Replies...Remember kids, never ever smile for a before pic. She looks like she has props under her hair in photo two. Like they stuck ear muffs or foam under there. Although I like to see people smile, I actually prefer her hair in photo one. Photo 1 just looks like a friend to have coffee with. Photo 2 looks sort of weird/scary
Your child, too, can learn to casually disembowel a doll
Squeeze the doll's hand to hear him scream in agony for more realistic play!
I would LOVE to have this as a cat toy and I don't even have cats lol 😂😂
Load More Replies...Hmmm I wonder why it’s 97% off? Certainly they should make the price higher, not lower, seeing as there must be high demand for these 🤔
Don't settle for ordinary wallpaper upgrade to crime scene wallpaper also comes in period stain variety
I mean a serial killer could move in and show everyone the wallpaper then start the murders to gain plausible deniability but I don’t really see what other purpose this has
'Do you want to look like you'be committed murder without committing murder?'
We're not going to comment on how ChatGPT can apparently float speech bubbles that extend beyond the edges of the screen?
My husband is using ChatGPT to get recipes for specific ingredients and to write stories for amusement. He loves that thing.
Am I the only one who went to go check this out on the App Store? Lol
Me: Alexa, break up with my girlfriend for me? Alexa: You don't have a girlfriend! Me: Damn, that was quick!
nahhh this fake, chatgpt only answers with fifty disclaimers and something that isn't relevant
Hmm... instead of being addicted to the screen you may get addicted to your phone in other way. Interesting way to battle screen addiction.

How is that unrealistic? Our park is full of these dogs. OK they don't have teeth and ears, but otherwise very similar.
Load More Replies...If my little dog had feathers instead of fur shedding season would definitely be interesting. 😬
This woman is always creating ads with her dog in them. Not sure I love the new direction she’s going with it.
I know it is a dog but is she going for Little Red Riding Hood here?
Grandma couldn't even protect HERSELF in that story.

OMG you just made me picture a toddler knee deep in toilet paper. Or maybe asleep in it from getting tired unwinding all of that.

So is McDonald's selling alcohol or are the bars selling McDonald's? Sponsored by McDonald's.
Nothing sells like an rancid inbred hillbilly teenager.
Load More Replies...If that's what my teenage daughter would look like, I guess her onion smell would be the last thing I'd worry about. 😳
Why is a teenager missing teeth? Admittedly, I don't really know much about children, but I thought that was a toddler thing...
When your advertising career hasn't taken off, and you just accept any modeling job that comes along
So the picture is downright insulting. However, ngl, sometimes my kids do smell like peeled onions
I was so thankful to save $0.00! Thank you!!!
Chocolate LIQUOR is the second ingredient. Maybe the baker was drunk. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
More honest than the US tradition of marking stuff up than "marking it down" to the original price or more.
No attempt in the ad copy to call out the weird humor of this. Would you like to go and hang out with the zombies on your next vacation?
If the zombies can find any, that is. I guess that means most tourists are safe.
Load More Replies...mudbaths are great. unfortunately, some also use roots and they might enter an orifice and you might not enjoy it. I am speaking from experience. Desert Hot Springs, to be exact.
Is someone under the water holding a hand to the male zombie's stomach?
Well, if you’re THAT constipated and desperate, I guess any port in a storm.
Ugh! I'm put off by fiber because of the association with poop at the best of times. This is clearly the worst of times.
I think I'll try these. I've never been a champion of anything before.
One of my faves from about nine years ago. For the discerning business woman who doesn’t want to sacrifice her femininity.
If someone is dumb enough to pay extra for an identical-but-feminine item, I see no problem with letting them.
Load More Replies...I bought these. My husband accidentally used my girly pen. He started to draw unicorns and asked how I keep my skin so peachy…I now keep them locked up!
One of my favorites on this theme are "Dude Wipes". Because apparently the JUST PLAIN WIPES are some feminine brand. Homophobia.
The Amazon reviews for these were comedy gold! Sadly, the pens aren't available anymore, so neither are the reviews.
I think the pens are available, they just changed the branding. You can buy similar ones under a couple different Bic labels. Look at Bic xtra Sparkle, or Colour Cues. Even the Velocity range has a bunch of colours available now.
Load More Replies...LOL Miss Cleo has been replaced by a bot. (also, just read that Youree Harris died in 2016)
I miss those terrible ads with that fake Jamaican.
Load More Replies...As I recall, Miss Cleo was indicted for fraud in California. As the state attorney general famously said, "Miss Cleo should have seen it coming."
"Babe, I have to break up with you. The psychic chat bot told me to."
I recon the last one is thinking “unga bunga me trapped inside glowing rock”
As poorly drawn as he is - probably thinking - I AM the glowing rock

I have one too. Fun, and genuinely useful. Especially since we're moving into the time of year that I get mosquitos in the house.

They allow you to establish those were not your footprints at the murder scene.
I’m so confused. Like will this be on the table with the salad out of reach? Or on the floor with just a weird low little salad table? How do you wash it? Why does it exist?
I mean, if you owned a restaurant with table side salad serving, OK. But at home it would be just awkward.
In some Italian restaurants they specialize in preparing and tossing your Caesar salad at the table. I imagine this is a home version to delight your dinner party guests.
Worst thing is I had to reread it a few times to even see it lol. The first time I read it I was confused as what the issue was with it took me entirely too long to see it lmfao
Well then, come one come all, except if you work there, then go park somewhere else
The hoodie is fine. Even the cool bear mascot would be fine. I just don’t want the words on it. The bear’s crossed arms say it all.
Otherwise what was she originally doing with her left hand? Or is this just the "Granny wants a fist bump" stock photo?

Damn good thing our brains can read words as long as the first & last letters are correct.
Liberty, equality, brotherhood. I never took French, but I still know what this means. It's just a French ad. Makes sense.
I wonder how much leeway you have regarding what photos you use? It could be hilarious.
Yeah they're pretty cool. I saw custom heat reactive mugs and wondered the same thing.
Load More Replies...My son collects Hawaiian shirts. He's always looking for quirky patterns. I ordered a custom one for Christmas from Etsy, with our two cats on it. The shop mixed up orders. So for Chrismtas he got a shirt with some woman, two kids, and a strange cat all over it. Eventually, the store shipped the correct shirt, but he kept that other one.
I saw a guy at church with Black Angus cows on his one Sunday, and then the next week he had on a Semi-truck one. They're actually awesome.😂
Great idea, but I'd do it with family dogs instead.

This actually works great. I used this for Father's day with a picture of our dog on it. It turned out great ngl (message not sponsored and account not made by GeckoCustom)
Well hi Israel.. *sobs*.. I am.. Reddit.
Load More Replies...I think you missunderstood. It's the Communist agenda, not the Communist a gender. ;-)
Mom, dad, why didnt you tell me im feminism?? YOU LIED TO ME *cries*
Ah yes, the six genders, something I don’t recognise, Israel, feminism, reddit, lgbtq and communism
IDK, seems like a funny joke to me, especially if you give it to a boss that everyone actually loves.

This is not a racist comment - but a great many Asians have small breasts. I have been to Philippines, Japan, China, Korea, Malaysia, Thailand etc. There's nothing wrong with that. My point is literally in the BILLIONS of women have small breasts - so I really doubt their claim they are the only ones who designed a bra for them. I've seen shops full of small cupped bras over there when shopping with relatives.
The only thing that matters with breasts is "does the person owning them like them". Big, small, real, silicone, nothing but the person with them view matters.
Did anyone here say otherwise? Ideally everyone should be happy in their own skin. Unfortunately many are not and at least in the USA advertising tries to play on that. Usually some version of "buy our product to be a better you" but women get targeted more than men.
Load More Replies...Now I'm laughing again because I didn't catch that poor grammar / punctuation last night.

Why does umbrella man in the background only have one suspender? EDIT: Okay, now I see the bag. Thanks folks. I wondered why his waist looked kind of weird.
A popular chicken sandwich restaurant, that is closed on Sundays, has their drive thru employees wearing these in questionable weather.
The order takers at chic fil a were wearing these last week in the rain.
Looks like one of those lightweight laundry bags you find in college dorms.
Well I guess I’m at that age now… JFC.

It's a homogenizer. Literally a laboratory blender for vigorously and uniformly homogenizing biological laboratory samples prior to performing chemical tests. That job may occasionally involve reducing a mouse (or some mushrooms, or horse manure or whatever) into a smooth and uniform liquid.
