Ads you HATE!

I hate all the tele evangelist ads that are aired in a span of 2-3 hours during the morning on all the channels.
These guys dont differentiate their respective products .
And these ads never get over.

dude they just wanted to tell that everyone likes coke no matter how different they are....ok concept yaar....though not as good as some of the coke ads that aamir has done previously....


the catchline goes like "sabka thanda ek hai"...which is quite ok...the underlying concept of unity in diversity is also ok to some extent, though it has already been overused in ads...
but the execution was pathetic...they could have had a scenario where no burping was involved...which i imagine, is not too difficult to compose...
all this ad does is highlight the socially unacceptable yet inevitable side effect of using their product...BURPING!

Isn't one of the Bingo ads - the Glad Bangles-Mad Angles one a very obvious parody of the same..???

^Coke- not just that. Amir Khan is driving home the point that everyone is a hypocritical chor like him from the inside.

I dont think Coke is being very smart with its ads.
In the Aishwarya "Thande ka Tadka " ad, they show the Coke user (some road romeo ) at the receiving end.

Now this ad with everyone burping around does not add to the brand image.It has armed Baba Ramdev with a few PJs .
no matter how vulgar or stupid the amul macho ad is, i'm sure most of us will remember it for a long time just because of that girl...and, everyone everywhere is talking about it...most probably that ad was created just for its shock value...

ps: that girl is HOT. :D



Hehe .. just saw the ad on youtube .. And I must confess I have a dirty mind .. but wtf was the director thinking .. what was the point in making anewly married woman come and wash her hubby's undies .. and what was the jingle .. "yeh to bada twaing hain" pray tell me is this twaing a slang or something ...

Undy ads have gone to the drains .. from the time of the VIP frenchie ads were a guy wearing a VIP undy comes and rescues a gal .. all ads suck ..
I think its high time that underwear manufacturers step away from visual advertisements and use only print media ..

No point in continuing to make horrible adslike amul macho or luxmi chachi type ads...
JOCKEYS ROCK

Eggactly most of the undy ads are pathetic. But I feel only one VIP frenchie ad was the best amongst all. This ad did not need any muscular macho man with a dhai kilo ka haath n some hot looking chick. All it needed was 2 undies to make the point. Though I had hrd tht even ths ad was banned. Mybe wearing undies is against Indian culture. For us langots rock

VIP Frenchie

hee hee....but coke previously had some decent if not good ads....i remember that aamir khans ad where he was this hyderabadi hindi speaknig fella....that was cool....after that too he did some ads of similar type but i am not able to recollect them....
and as for aishwarya most of the ads she s done are no-sense ads....hardly any memorable ones from her....
the catchline goes like "sabka thanda ek hai"...which is quite ok...the underlying concept of unity in diversity is also ok to some extent, though it has already been overused in ads...

While burping is socially unacceptable in western cultures, it is quite acceptable in many other cultures including many parts of India, esp. in the middle and lower class. So I don't think Coca Cola was misguided in including this concept. And personally, I think that 'Sabka thanda ek' is one of the best catch lines ever thought up of. But Aamir Khan looks absolutely horrendous in the ad. He should have been one of the passengers.


One recent ad which I don't like and it still makes me laugh is the Emraan Hashmi ad about some pan masala or something. Gopaaaaalll... chaahe kuch bhi ho jaye. the jingle fits the climax of the ad, the hero expertly stealing the pan masala from a lady and jumping (with the bike) over a bridge. And he's smirking while waving the pan masala tin. Bhaisahab, aage dekho, agar aapko swimming nahi aata to aapki to baji...

Ah! Finally it comes up. I too don't like that ad. Its kinda funny as you said. But does that mean it is a bad ad, I don't think so. When you look at the target audience of that AD it is a brilliant idea What does a average gutkha eating guy long for!;) All that is pretty much summed up in that ad But agin this thread is named *Ads you hate* so definitely deserves a mention here, but I don't think it is a *bad* AD as such. What else do you expect for such a product anyway?
Hehe .. just saw the ad on youtube ..

I associate that "twaing" sound to things like the uncoiling of a spring, or when anything suddenly gets...ahem...erect :wow:

but thats just me... :p


anyway, these days two ads for a new inverter brand have showed up, in the first one, a fridge commits suicide by jumping off a highrise...and in the second, an electrical appliance dies by throwing itself in front of a train...
both of them are quite gory...and poorly conceptualized...

the coke ad was nice without the words when it came first time around.. now it sucks bigtime :|

@emraan hasmi whtever gutkha ad.. it rocks.. no sarcasm

Hey Guys!
anyone saw this new AD....
there is a loot in da train....there r a few dacoits who go about threatening people to dump whatever they have in a large box that a midget who is walkin infront of them carries...:snipersm:
until they reach this man ... who has nothin in his wallet...
he shows he has nothing in his wallet much to the disgust of the Chief...
but for a bank card...
and the chief of the dacoits,takes out his money and gives it to this man...
coz the card that the man has is the
~ABN AMRO ONE card~ that gives you sure cashback..:rockedov:

I found the AD to be silly...
The AD might be interesting but is pointless and conveys nothing but for advertising the fact that it is transparent card...:crazyeye:

Another ad that just makes me sick is the zapak.com ad.....its pathetic seeing that creature on screen.The ad where this guy with brawn but no brain is able to use zapak.com.I get the message-you dont need brains to use zapak.com
thanks

Hehe make something a fool can use and only a fool will....

lots of hype and probably very little content leads to an AD like Mahindra Renault Logan. I have no idea about how the car is, but the ad is just crap.

A lady jumping off a chopper, like it was the banyan tree in my backyard and then so painlessly cutting of the black silky cloth drapping the car which is being taken in this big truck with open sides like it was a procession.

and then comes a gadget that wld make James Bond so very jealous. a calculator that not only calculates addition and substraction but also uses a focus light to calculate three dimentional volume..........WOW!!!!!

the signal is also sent to this madman who screams out all information so that we can have a good laugh. nice idea i say.

if Alonso saw the AD he'd probably cry one more time. as for me.........................im still laughing

True, its a pathetic 'watch', from Mahindra-Renault promising venture this ad fails to make a mark. If you compare this ad's with those of newly launched models
1. Spark by Chevrolet
2. SX4 by maruti
This ad deserves the last spot.

Agreed the car was made for emerging markets and its cost effective but i see no point in cutting the cost to position the brand. If they had to sell the USP of wide body and spacious then Ad's of Indigo have been far better(though not awesome). But we have seen worse than this in the automobile market:
Of Chevrolet Travera with bunch of fools running behind a ball trying to imitate Cricket on a wet field................can this ad beat that.............

I cant stand the new Airtel Happy Recharge ad. The guy asks for a recharge voucher and everybody around him start to get excited. Then they break out into 'Happy recharge to you'...i mean 'duh....the ad firstly doesnt make any sense, and to top that..it's irritating!

Latest worst AD is by Air-Tel...

HAPPY RECHARGE TO YOU.......


gosh !! I am unable to listen that song. Its like Birthday is celebrated once in a year, the Air-Tel recharge is also successful once in a year...

For me, one of the worst ads (perhaps, ever) is the Maggi Mania ad.. the much touted n self-proclaimed 'rural touch' duznt really seem to strike a chord.. saving grace is tht Maggi is to noodles wot Surf was to detergents until last decade.. so the mkt share wont go for a toss, n the ad gurus can harp on their 'rural touch' mania (pun intended) until proven wrong..
Another pathetic ad is tht of Amul Macho undies.. the lesser said, the better.. way too embarrassing to be aired at all.. the ad seems 'crafted for fantasies' more than the product!

1.Coke ad where aamir khan looks like a mentally retarded man....absolutely no purpose in this ad....

2.Aveo ad where a gorilla comes and saif says " hey its trying to get into the car"
