My Most Hated Holiday Ads - 2009

Now that I shared some of my favorites, here are a couple I absolutely dreaded. It almost pains me to bring these back to my memory.

Old Navy - "Supermodelquins" Holiday Ad. First off, mannequins are just as scary as clowns. And, it's just not funny. I don't even know if they are trying to be funny or not. I just find it utterly annoying and creepy.




Jewelry commercials are bad enough. These two however, should be banned from TV forever. Here is the worst commercial I've seen in a long time.


Kay Jewelers - "I'm right here...and always will be". What grown woman is that scared of a thunderstorm? And how creepy is this guy? I don't even want to go there anymore...





The last commercial I was looking for ceases to exist online...for good reasons I'm assuming. If anyone is familiar with the Jared Galleria of Jewelry ads, its the one with the kids in the other room saying "they're so cute at this age." #1 No kids ever, ever talk about their parents like that. #2 Kids don't spy on their parents anymore. #3 Kids that age could probably care less about nice jewelry, and I highly doubt they could tell the difference between some diamond earrings from Jared or Wal-Mart. This is another frustrating ad, but it does bring me some ease when I found all the great posts and quality spoof ads for Jared. Here is a post I thoroughly enjoyed: He Went to Jared: I'm Going to Vomit.

  1. "...and I always will be." Yuck!! He is a creeper.

    I agree, I've thought that to be the worst of the worst spots on tv right now. Jewelry spots are bad enough, let alone terrible ones. Radio and TV are continually torturous.
