[Major Asshole]

This road safety advert from Northern Ireland is pretty average for most of its run, but you gotta wait until the last quarter.

I gather that wasn't supposed to be hilarious.

 

[Haltmann]

I can't remember a time when this wasn't on TV.

Nope. Dead serious.

Just remembered this one.

The Nostalgia Critic featured this one in one of his commercial specials:

I have yet to be convinced "rape whistles" are effective at all. For one thing, in a city dozens of people will just watch out their window as someone on the street gets raped and murdered like Kitty Genovese. I've heard you're supposed to yell "Fire" instead, because people actually care about a fire.

Do promotional videos count? Because I've found one from Williams Pinball (R.I.P.) that's amazingly cheesy:

Near the end, I think she starts humping the table. I'm pretty sure that would cause a tilt.

At first, I thought this PSA was scary and effective. Then, I realized that something about it seemed familiar...

Still fits the message, TBH.

Well, I am fairly certain that the King of All Cosmos is a member of the Gay Mafia.

 

[NARPASSWORD]

Well, since somebody brought up laughably bad promotional videos...

 

[From The Uncanny Valley]

It always baffles me that somebody thought this was a good idea:

And now they apparently want videos of your fucking pets peeing or something (which will do nothing but prove you're a sick fuck)

"Hey, kids, do you want make a difference? Tell anyone you see smoking a cigarette that they are cat killers!"

This ad is a classic.
