I challenge anyone to think of a worse overall campaing. It can't be done.

That's easy, just think about all ad campaigns you've seen and forgotten about about 2 seconds later.

I'm not talking about single commercials. That's easy. There have been plenty of commercial that were worse overall than any of the individual McD's commercials. I'm talking about continuous long running ad campaigns. Seriously, it just hasn't happened. People would remember anything this bad that went on for this long.

Bingo!

Two points:

I can't believe a frickin' 30-second spot on TV can actually make some of you "angry"... Lighten up. :roll:

I like how you say "companies listen up"... If you remember the commercial you "hate" so much, then it's obviously done it's job. Just look at all the corporations listed above... You're recognizing their name and remembering it.

I am referring to entire campaigns though. Those individual ads you see are all part of some campaign. If the campaign sucks, then the ads get pulled. I'm not saying the McDonalds ads are good- far from it, but hey, you remembered them. I see what you're trying to get at though... I guess I just have a different definition of "bad" advertising.

On the train this summer, I saw a couple of little kids, probably 3, 4 years old, looking out the window... they saw a McDonalds and started singing the "i'm lovin' it" line over and over again. It was cute.

For Mickey-Dees, it's all about being a part of the culture, and "i'm lovin' it" accomplishes that.

ENZYTE! I can't stand that stupid sh!t.

is that the commercial with the jackass with the big, goofy, fake grin all the time? if it is, then yes, add that to my list.

That's the one, and the same cheesy music every time.

Omg, I hate those Old Navy singing Commercials. I swear I am gonna find that little kid whose says stupid things like "they sure are cosy." Honestly I don't know what it is about that kid but I just want to strangle him.
Here is an awesome review I found from a random site:

"Rating: 0 seconds. Note: this is a new rating system, based on how long you would watch the commercial before changing the channel, from 0 to 60 seconds. A rating of zero means you would change the channel before even one half second has elapsed."
Take that Old Navy.
Awesome review

The Cortislim lifestyle.
Those teflon commercials that are supposed to look like newscasts.
Just about any perscription medication ads.
