The Most Needlessly Violent Environmental Advert Ever
Think of the environment and, depending on how gloomy you are, you either think of lambs frolicking in a meadow or a sad polar bear drowning in the sea. But a non-stop torrent of hilarious blood and death? No. Which is why this new advert from the WWF is so bewildering. We think the point is that if you don't recycle properly you'll get mown down by some sort of gigantic vehicle, but we can't be fully sure.

Badvertising – Swiftcover Insurance With Iggy Pop
Iggy, what happened? Did the royalty cheques for Lust For Life dry up? It appears so as the once radical and slightly mental member of The Stooges has forgotten his punk ethos and decided to sell his soul to an insurance company. Another pissing insurance company, why do they think that ...
Look! Lots Of People Dancing In Liverpool Street Station
As people who regularly get infuriated to the point of violence when our morning march through the train station is held up by, say, child carol singers, we didn't think we'd enjoy this video. After all, it's essentially a video of some self-absorbed bastards holding up the entire Liverpool Street railway station one morning by dancing around like bellends in a flashmob-inspired prank. But you know what? It's actually quite ...
Badvertising – John Lennon’s One Laptop Per Child Foundation
A few things immediately leapt out at us after viewing this advert. First of all, John Lennon was dead the last time we checked. So how could he donate his cheeky Scouse tones to a charity appeal nearly thirty years after his death? Did the cocktail of drugs he took ...
Badvertising: Marks & Spencer, Take That
Christmas is a time to spend with family and friends. Or, failing that, a rubbishy old boyband from the 1990s and a gaggle of neatly age-diverse supermodels. And if you could spend it in what's basically the hotel from The Shining just to make it even more super-depressing, why that'd be ...
It’s A Fairly Wonderful Barclaycard Advert Spoof
Hey, look at me, I've got a Barclaycard and so life for me is like riding around an entire city on a big waterslide. Yes, I know it's grossly impractical and would have an adverse effect on the infrastructure of the city if all Barclaycard owners had similar waterslides, but look! Aren't I cool! No. We're going to say no.
Badvertising: Country Life Butter, Starring John Lydon
Now this is just weird. Easily the weirdest advert we've seen since Dee Dee Ramone did that commercial for diarrhea tablets - it's John Lydon from The Sex Pistols advertising Country Life butter. Look at him. Look at John Lydon's happy little face as he springs about around the Morris dancers telling everyone how delicious ...
Badvertising: Dita Von Teese’s Wonderbra Commercial
It's amazing what computers can do nowadays. They can help us conquer space, cure disease and, according to this Wonderbra commercial, can even turn attractive, blonde scientist girls into strippers – all thanks to the 'science of sexy' or something. Which we're sure you'll agree is exactly what science grants should be spent ...
