- alanocu, on 12/11/2008, -0/+41I'm gay, but I thought that commercial was way too gay for the average public to endure.
If this is the Gillette Phenom ad that I'm thinking of, you have 3 straight guys slamming their balls around at each other while Tiger Woods is smearing white cream all over his face; then a male voice begins to describe the smooth sliding action and phenom friction - the best a man can give.
And it ends with Tiger Woods spinning a ball around on his finger. They could have at least blown the ball up to basketball size so it wasn't proportional to the size of a man's testicle.
It was the hottest thing I've ever seen. - AaronBaron, on 12/11/2008, -1/+39This commercial is so bad it ruined all of their careers. Federer lost his world number 1 spot, Henry flopped after leaving Arsenal and Woods is out with a chronic injury.
- inactive, on 12/13/2008, -0/+17Well what did you expect from a company whos latest innovation year after year is adding an extra blade.
- adventchild08, on 12/13/2008, -0/+17Saved by Zero was worse....
- Dr3w, on 12/13/2008, -0/+14Do they not get Saved By Zero in the UK?
In case you Brits haven't had the pleasure: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yoH6mwLYEYY - Smyley, on 12/13/2008, -0/+12Said Ad -

- username7410, on 12/13/2008, -0/+11How can the greatest tennis player in the world flirting with the greatest golfer in the world while a frenchman watches be bad?
- BishopWM, on 12/13/2008, -0/+9It seems that you do not understand the importance of having a clean shaven face. None of these things matter when you have a Gillette razor.
- saucy05, on 12/13/2008, -0/+9damn boy calm down.
- inactive, on 12/13/2008, -0/+9I'm a PC, and not easily stereotyped, but I think that Gillette is the best a man can get!
- elitedw, on 12/13/2008, -1/+9I've seen worse...
Local car dealer ads.
"Come to Joe's Auto Emporium, where the prices are outraaaageous, yaaaay" - Tamant, on 12/13/2008, -0/+7...
- calenerd, on 12/13/2008, -0/+7I didn't think the advert was bad at all anyway. I've seen much worse.
- chaos7, on 12/13/2008, -0/+6it's not THAT bad
- aralls, on 12/13/2008, -0/+6you don't get sarcasm, do you?
- inactive, on 12/13/2008, -1/+6No, "Crazy Bruce's Liquors" is clearly the worst commercial ever
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SNkK-aQEtMI - valis, on 12/13/2008, -0/+5I'm not gay. The commercial seemed to me to be just another desperate attempt by some designer/producer to be somehow relevant. Men (whatever their sexual orientation) with beards often shave. Sell me a razor by showing me it is worth the money. Playing me like a horny sucker who thinks shaving is somehow sexy is arrogant and pretentious. Try that crap with toilet paper.
- Dudemeyster, on 12/13/2008, -0/+5Here's the article this one is talking about (with videos):
http://www.brandrepublic.com/Campaign/News/868974/ ... - Dr3w, on 12/13/2008, -0/+5That commercial reeks of nothing but awesomeness
- ElGanyan, on 12/13/2008, -0/+4Agreed, but considering it's now viral nature (all the spoofs etc. are great), I bet head on is quite happy with it.
- Bloake, on 12/13/2008, -0/+4No one beats HEAD ON. APPLY DIRECTLY TO THE FOREHEAD. HEAD ON. APPLY DIRECTLY TO THE FOREHEAD. HEAD ON. APPLY DIRECTLY TO THE FOREHEAD. HEAD ON. APPLY DIRECTLY TO THE FOREHEAD.
- AbuQutaita, on 09/18/2009, -0/+4That commercial is even better in the Middle East, or at least here in Egypt. First it's dubbed over in Arabic. Second, they have some choke-star football (soccer) player awkwardly cut in. He just stands to the side when all three of the other guys are on the screen, laughing along with hands-in-pocket. It's actually quite amusing.
- cJw314, on 12/13/2008, -0/+4I was thinking "what the *****"-ness, actually.
- urgoddess4lfe, on 12/13/2008, -0/+3Phelps always looks like a retard. When he's out of the water that is.
- drgmdp, on 12/13/2008, -0/+3that ad was so bad i'm growing a beard
- Cryptopsy, on 12/13/2008, -1/+4On the other hand, I would like to nominate FreeCreditReport.com to have some of the best commercials..... though the new ones aren't nearly as good as the old ones.
- RoyaleCheese, on 12/13/2008, -0/+3This is a pretty awful one too:
http://tinyurl.com/62ueut - Dr3w, on 12/13/2008, -0/+3Saved By Zero Kills: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r5fTfv7SCi0&fea ...
- Cswltd13, on 12/13/2008, -0/+3yeah i agree it really isn't too bad compared to a lot of the ***** out there
- cJw314, on 12/13/2008, -0/+3I never understood why the hell Gilette would spend that much money on a commercial... I can't imagine celebrity influence really equate that much product interest - at least not in a men's razor. In a teenage girl's clothing, maybe.
- inactive, on 12/13/2008, -2/+5you are all gay
- a3r0, on 12/13/2008, -0/+2The original of that one, http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=q8-bOSEfFWk , is even worse than the one in the article. Imagine it being played twice every break. I hate it so much. Having famous people in your ad doesn't make it not annoying as hell
- yulp333, on 12/13/2008, -0/+2dammit. beat me to it
- virtualonliner, on 12/13/2008, -1/+3I don't think any ad can be worse than this.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Is3icfcbmbs - Ari1, on 12/13/2008, -0/+2maybe worst ad of the year, but the sum of money they got for it is one of the best ;)
- inactive, on 12/13/2008, -1/+3Damn! Vin Diesel looks like he lost a little weight! A new movie role I suppose.
/s - calenerd, on 12/13/2008, -0/+2This is much better:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e92UVmAfwQI&fea ... - GawtMilk, on 12/13/2008, -1/+3The ad sets computer generated imagery back about twelve years.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DGX72GOjHC4&fmt ...
"...Fusion Power Phenom - Fusion Power soothing micropulses..."
Incredibly bad. - heynow21, on 12/13/2008, -1/+3Those commercials puzzle me. Tiger Woods is super famous, why do they need to throw in a couple of guys most people don't know? I bet Tiger felt the same way.
- inactive, on 12/13/2008, -0/+2Filet O' Fish...no no.. Filet O' Fish... anyone remember that ad? I actually screamed toward the end of that commercial.
- DarkDecay, on 12/13/2008, -0/+2The discovery channel has been playing that stupid gillette commercial constantly for a few weeks now. Sometimes back to back. I'll be glad when it runs it's course and dies out. Maybe being being voted the worst TV advert of the year will help speed that up a bit.
- ericdano, on 12/13/2008, -0/+2I dunno, that Rock Band commercial with Phelps and other guys is pretty stupid. He looks like a total retard playing the guitar.
- spaceshipsix, on 12/13/2008, -0/+2And now Gillette will essentially get free advertising for having the worst ad of the year. How ironic.
- RyanDFA, on 12/13/2008, -0/+2http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Is3icfcbmbs
- cJw314, on 12/13/2008, -0/+2I would be that Federer is almost as known as Woods, globally. The other guy is... who? :p
- Kelmon, on 12/13/2008, -0/+2All things are relative. Given that football is the most popular sport, I'd have my bet that Thierry Henry is the most well known, although he's been trying to become obscure since he moved to Barcelona to keep the bench warm.
- drgmdp, on 12/13/2008, -1/+2if you're still shaving, grow a beard. you won't go back.
- NorrisOBE, on 12/14/2008, -0/+1I'm a straight guy with a bisexual girlfriend, and this ad just made her sign up for a sex change operation
- sadilak, on 12/13/2008, -0/+1The worst ads are from State Farm and Progressive . Also the damn AMEX card ads featuring Ellen Degeneres and Robert De Niro are very annoying.
In terms of annoying ads, nothing beats "BENDAROO"
Especially when the ad vocalist says - Benda Who? - Bendaroo !!. -
