Vote for America's Worst Ads

Today, Consumerist announced its finalist nominees for "Worst Ad in America", as chosen by its readers.

The online ballot has most of the campaigns linked, but I'll embed the 2010 contestants here for ABSOLUTE WORST AD IN AMERICA:












Other categories and finalists are listed below. (Ignore the radio buttons, it was a C&P.)

MOST GRATING PERFORMANCE BY A HUMAN



MOST ANNOYING ANIMATED SPOKESTHING



DUO OR GROUP THAT MOST NEEDS TO BE BROKEN UP



CELEBRITY WHO MUST HAVE LOST THE MOST MONEY IN HOUSING CRASH



CREEPIEST COMMERCIAL



They are indeed bad ads, but I was hoping more of them would be epic trainwreck bad. I guess the vox populi nature of nomination and voting would automatically favour well-known crappy national campaigns than hilariously awkward (but obscure) local ones. Oh well...

Go to Consumerist to view and vote before 8 p.m. ET on Tuesday, 9/28/2010.

  1. The Quiznos ad is clearly the ABSOLUTE worst of all time, well...my lifetime! At least the others made some sort of sense, and didn't hurt both my ears and my brain to watch.

    On another note, I kind of like the Progressive commercials. The spokeswoman may be slightly insane but the commercials are mildly entertaining, and different!

  2. I always understood that insurance was protection against something that might or might not happen (e.g. fire, theft), and assurance was protection against something that was bound to happen sooner or later (e.g. death).
