Ad Campaigns That Should Be Toast!

It was only the other day that I figured out what "Mikes me" means. It's your car begging you to get it washed.

It's not the worst ad slogan ever, but the fact that they never make that idea clear in any spot just adds to the annoyance.

In other news, that Montgomery Cyclery jingle is back after being gone for years.
 
The Prostate powder that is running literally every break on WLW. Then the little kid "Daddy please stop smoking" advertising some substitute cigarette.
 
All ads by law enforcement warning me that the government is going to get me for something.

All nanny state PSAs and paid nanny warnings. Especially those that rhyme.
 
ALL INFOMERCIALS!

Notably:
Extenze- a product which claims to increase the size of male genetilia

Carlton Sheets-AND his "wealth kit" ...GET RICH OFF OF THE UNEMPLOYED,THE DESPERATE AND THE SINGLE MOTHERS (well..we USED to have an American dream!) :mad:

Girls Gone Wild-Why can't the long arm of the law put this purveyor of teen lesbian porn in the joint???

Jack LaLanne's Power Juicer- Jack...we still admire your old series from back in the day...and your support for physical well being..that's cool..just lose the informercial and enjoy your retirement.

Don Lapre's get rich quick schemes (Is Cindy Margolis THAT stupid to believe everything he says?...hey,if she does then every single unemployed bubba watching it surely will........PULLLLLL-EEEEZZZZE!!!!!)

and the NUMBER ONE ANNOYING INFOMERCIAL IS....
(fanfare)
RICHARD SIMMONS DEAL A MEAL!

She looks like the child catcher from the movie "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang". Honest! Take a look:

BTW, look at Benny Hill in this clip. You can tell he wants to break out laughing! RIP Benny.

(I miss Benny Hill, but hated that movie. Scared the s**t out of me as a kid.)

Because filming topless drunk college coeds who have daddy issues is legal. Barely legal, but legal. ;)

Plus when I was hitting puberty and all I had was basic cable, late-night Girls Gone Wild infomercials on Comedy Central was all I had to brighten my day.

Just think what could have been with a little Benny Hill influence:
