Welcome back to our “When Ads Go Bad” blog series! Unlike past weeks, we do not have a specific bad ads theme this week. This collaboration is just a few ads that caught our eye – but not in a good way. We hope you enjoy this week’s installment!
Shouldn’t the point be to convince the man that he wants to shell out thousands of dollars on a ring? Not to make him second guess his decision on the basis that he will lose control of everything?
Sorry to tell you (and sorry that none of your “friends” mentioned it) but your mouse doesn’t look like a mouse…
This is the first of two ads that I have found for a brand of dark chocolate. This ad is incredibly disturbing, not to mention that it’s nearly impossible to figure out what the ad is for. Now that we’ve pointed out the obvious, who’s hungry for some chocolate??
No worries, little girl, you’re friend is just poisoning your tea while trying to sell chocolate. Don’t feel bad, we don’t understand the connection either.
