Local Ads…oh how you pain me

April 14, 2009

For some reason company presidents think that their wife, brother-in-law, and best friend from high school make up the most powerful marketing brain trust. Out of these highly creative groups comes some of the WORST advertisements known to man. They do have an strong element to them that causes me to remember them. I remember them so I will NEVER buy anything from them.

KINGS OF HORRIBLE TV ADS IN UTAH-Totally Awesome Computers

Super Dell’s Fat Asian Friend Who Wear Dragon Shirts To Sell Laptops.

Click the following links to enjoy our “Zany” TV ads.
Editors Note: The definition of ZANY used in this context is: repulsive, horrible, painfully bad, or so bad that our own mothers won’t watch them.

Ikon Business Solutions...Never say “slam dunk” while showing a dunk highlight…LAME!

Mike Hale Acura-Hey MIKE, do you really think a hillbilly working on a car in the garage teamed with low budget porn acting talent will get people to come buy $40-$80K cars from you? Is your selling point really that you took his torch to and modificated it for ya’lls…Who approved this? This is just horrible…unbearable.

Chadders (These guy are just fools who copied In-N-Out burger) They’re as original as any one who comes up with a “got (fill in the blank)?” slogan. Of course they live in Utah County. Be careful when you go to Chadders. They might try and sign you to be part of their pyramid scheme.

Here come the ever dependable for horrible ads…The ambulance chasers

There are so many more bad advertisements on TV, print and radio. I’ll see what I can do about pointing them out and posting them when I come across them. The Hero Electrician ad with the 2-cent animation and horrible voice over are next on the list.

Some horrible radio ads include: Low Book Sales…they are the only ones I can remember right now but I HATE THEM! Oh Golds Gym has terrible ads as well. Did I mention Low Book Sales has the WORST logo known to man? I think the owners son designed it in 3rd grade.

A little advice for these companies…HIRE AN AGENCY YOU’RE NOT FUNNY, CREATIVE, OR EFFECTIVELY MARKETING ANYTHING BUT YOUR UNPROFESSIONALISM. Sorry I yelled. I get carried away a little bit. Bad advertising pisses me off.
