Worst The banal voiced individual driving out of the tunnel that says to invest with such and such a major brokerage so "You'll be ready when tomorrow turns into a better day." BARF!!
How about the guy that checks his stock and it's up like 1000000 million dollars. So he runs upstairs to tell his boss to basically "f" off and comes back down to his computer to see his stock cratered back to the same level it was at before. Then he runs back up to his boss to tell him he was kidding..I think we've all that look on our face at least once in our careers : ) WHOOOOOO HOOOOOO...AHHHH CRAAAAPPP why didn't I sell? Chris
when the guy is being rushed in the hospital and the doctor says "This man has money coming out the WAZOO" I believe this was e-trade....
The Money out the Wazoo" trade is still about my favorite. "Get this man a private Room! He has money coming out the wazoo!" Every morning I walk around a lake near the house where there are a bunch of ducks and I just can't help thinking "AFLAC" whenever one of them approaches me.
Another dumb ad was the one for XRX copiers with the 1960's-look egghead peering into the copier saying, "Hey Ben! Come here! (Duh, I've never seen the inside of a copier before, look there's actually something inside!)". A really nice one was the Mercedes C-Class with the lady whose eyeballs turned into hearts, the whistling teapots, the parking meter spewing out coins, etc. Very nice background music, too.
