I also don't like the new ad of Fair and Handsome with Shahrukh Khan. I think Shahrukh should think before going for this type of ad. He should think about his popularity. Now he is a superstar of India with million and million of fans. Being such a superstar he is quite mismatch with a fairness cream's advertisement. 😞

I have observed that generally the Ads featuring celebrities are not very creative. I presume the ad-makers think that only the star power will be enough to grab attention to the ad and make it a success. However, it is necessary to make the Ads creative so that they have the highest recall rate.

probably one of the worst ads of the year-kissan tomato ketch up "ab batwara nahi hoga"..pathetic to say the least.

Coming to ads i dont like...
Most of the Motorcycle ads as such..

There is this one in which this really hot chick gets the tatoo of her fave bike on her back..hellloooo..what were these guys thinking.. it totally sucks!

And there is this "...to be continued" bike ad..The villain spoils the graffiti portraying the lead lady.. The hero in his anger paints the villain's face..The villain chases the hero our couple graffiti themselves a bike to escape him..Bakwas hai

No offense i am daviating a lil from the topic(ads u hate)

I bet airtel border ad is one of the favorite of many of us... what will be your reaction if i say its a copied concept from new Zealand ..
so how abt answering this question ::
Firstly ... is it a copied concept or a coincidence??
Secondly ...Such kind of inspiration is legitimate or not ??

share-aware

The reason for this post in this thread is .. may be ye best ad may turn to worse if plagiarism is involved...

I didn't like the new Moto ad.... The one with

"Beta Billo??"
"... Haan Puppaaa!"

MOTO aaya... aur aapka Beta Gaya!

Found it quite lame!

sonal2112 · February 1, 2008, 7:26am

I second the Motorola ad where the man's head falls off.... senseless, brainless, adds nothing to the brand nor does it say anything about it!! A complete waste of advertising money ....

Cheers!!

Another really senseless ad:

VIsa Power: "Mind and body.. heart and Soul"

I mean I have a lot of respect for Shankar, Ehsaan & Loy's musical prowess... but what does that song have anything to do with Visa??..... or what does Visa have anythign to do with the song..

err... whats the link?!?!...
