The Freakiest Ads of 2009
It’s the close of another year and of course it’s time for those endless lists of the year’s best/worst. Hopefully, you have already checked out Jessica Vance’s list of her favorite ads this year on our blog.
Well, I’m taking a different approach. I came across a list on adfreak.com of the top 30 freakiest commercials of the year. I have chosen my top 3 freakiest commercials of the year. I chose the 3 videos that I found the most repulsive, scariest and downright weird. And let me warn you….they are not for the weak at heart.
3. Tabasco’s Singing Pepperonis
This spot I found weird and repulsive. I love pepperoni pizza, but this definitely makes me see pizza in a whole new way. Besides that, it’s a little corny in my opinion.
2. World Wildlife Fund’s Tsunami Spot
According to adfreak, this was the year’s most controversial ad. Using the images from the 9/11 attacks to make a point about the environment was tasteless in my opinion and disturbing to watch.
1. Pfizer’s Poison
This is absolutely the most repulsive commercial I have ever seen in my life. It was adfreak’s #1 freakiest commercial and after viewing it, it’s definitely #1 on my list as well. ***Warning: extremely gross!***
And here’s a honorable mention. This one didn’t make the freakiest list for me, but I thought it was hilarious!
White Castle’s Exotic Dancer
This commercial was a great way to introduce the world to White Castle’s new pulled pork sandwiches. Check out Ms. Piggy’s performance.
