After reading Cticize?s review on the 10 worst TV ads, I fully agree with those 10 given.
Today, each channel shows so many ads that I wonder whether ads are shown inbetween the programme or the programme is shown in between the ads.
Each ad only has absolutely foolish characters who yell at the top of their voice to sell their wares.
Here?s a list of the 10 worst TV ads:
- Livon
A girl combs & sees that her hair is falling. The next moment, she starts yelling as if a cockroach has entered her clothes. Her room? mate comes & gives her the shampoo. Seems the girl is heading towards politics to give loud yells.
- Titan watches
A man is shown wearing Titan watches. Within a short while, we find that he is wearing 1, 2, 3, 4 & finally 5 watches on his wrist, indicating that both the ad & the watch is Sasti.
- Maxima Watch
A man is sitting in a restaurant & a girl passes by. Suddenly, the girl?s skirt flies up & to see the same scene, the man moves the minute hand of his watch backwards. Wonder what can people do to see Somebody Outskirt(Out of skirt).
- Watch again
Surprising but this ad would make you think twice before you give someone a gift. A man gives a watch as a gift to his friend on his marriage. The friend criticizes the watch & labels the man as?Mr. Ghatiya Ghadi?. Everyone in the friend?s family start calling that man by the name mentioned. Moral: Don?t give gifts
- Fair & Lovely
A girl gives her commentary on cricket, right from a young age. She applies F & L & becomes a famous cricket commentator who is hankered after, for her autographs.
Bhala, commentator cricketer se Famous kaise.
Another ad is one wherein a girl says that a famous girl celebrity, who uses F & L, gets surrounded by fans & so, there is no privacy left. The same girl then applies another type of F & L for her oily face & gets the offer as an actress from Rakesh Roshan. I think she will be intelligent enough to refuse, if she is not a Hypocrite.
Please tell me: Who does not want to be rich & famous?
6.Itchguard
A man goes to see a girl for marriage. The girl gives him a cup of tea & he starts getting the desire to scratch the itching groin & while trying to do so, he accidentally drops the cup of tea. Couldn?t he ask the girl: Bathroom kahan hai?(so that he can do Khujli there)
In another ad, a man comes home & starts scratching. Later on, his wife tells her son to enact the same. The ad?s perfect tagline??Kya Karoon? Control hi nahin hota?.
- Liril Orange soap
A skimpily dressed girl dances in Antartica with Liril soap. Seems she must have come to Antartica after visiting Sahara desert.
In a desert, a skimpily dressed girl uses Liril Orange soap & starts dancing with kids. That?s why I wonder why Rajasthan has scarcity of water. Probably, the people there must be bathing all the time with the available water.
Both the ads indicate the Poor Rich girls who either have less clothes or feel very hot.
- Anchor White Toothpaste
A boy brushes his teeth with the toothpaste & he finds himself in a disco, dancing with a girl.
If he wants to dance, then go to the disco, why brush Teeth? Will this Anchor help the boy to anchor to the girl? Moral: Dance karne ke liye Daant saaf karo
- Brooke Bond Red Label Chai
A boy wakes up his parents in the middle of night, saying that he wants to go to school, since the tea brand is giving him many free gifts.
Needless to say, children seem to be wanting school accessories not the school curriculum.
- Pepsi ad / Parachute oil
I am unable to judge as to which of these ads is more foolish.
Pepsi ad: SRK & Saif who are shown as parking authorities, allow cars only to make a heart so that Preity could see it. Seems they have no other work.
Parachute oil: A recent ad shows a girl travelling in a roller coaster with bald statues(usually kept in clothes shop) & then moving her hand over the bald pate.
Shabana Azmi & Nandita Das, are you listening?
Other worst ads include:
1.Ads of sanitary napkins
- JK Lakshmi cement ad wherein all houses fly off in the hurricane, except or 1.
Jab Ghar hi ud gaya, Hum TV dekhke kya karenge?
3.Gilette ad wherein a girl wants a clean shaven boy so that while dancing, she can pull the long linear shawl along the boy?s neck. Farah Khan, please teach this girl, Dance.
4.Rexona ad wherein a boy is depicted as having body odor like that of a Bakra. Cyrus where R U?
5.Grasim ad wherein a husband ties his pant over his wife?s head & the wife says that she likes him a lot. God knows if the pant was washed or made dirty with urine or something else? Uptil now we had the phrase?Topi pehnana? & now?Pant pehnana?.
6.Live? in jeans wherein Dino Morea puts himself in the washing machine to get his worn jeans washed. I never knew we have such high capacity machines.
7.Ayush hair shampoo ad wherein an elderly mother? in? law, unfolds her hair to say that she is not having dandruff & hence, No Adjustments.
After seeing that, I had to Adjust my channels, whenever I would see the ad again.
8.Campus shoes show Footwear with Fruits & Fruit juices besides it.
Seems one should throw Fruit peels & Footwear on the ad makers.
9.A boy gives his friend?s fault? finding mother, a glass of Sunfill & the lady starts criticizing her own son for not knowing how to play Kanchi.
10.Bipasha tells the boys that she will dance with the one who has the smallest.
What should be the smallest / least: The double? meaning dialogue or the mobile size?
11.A man enters a shop, gives his old banian & takes a new banian, telling the shopkeeper that he has exchanged the old one for the new one. No doubt we have so many?Purana Do, Naya Lo? schemes on the rise.
12.2 women give 1 woman Lehar Kurkure & the woman starts gossiping. Seems now, there are going to be?Kurkure party? instead of?Kittie party?.
13.Govinda?s ad selling Hair oil: Simply Out Standing performance
14.A man is so much in love with Kajaria tiles that he sits & sleeps on the tile. Good way to save expenses on furniture. Moral: Kajaria tiles? Biwi?s envy, Husband?s pride
15.A lady likes Daawat Basmati Rice so much that she removes a rice grain present on the lower part of a man?s face. Chumma for Chawal!
The ads seem to made only for the sale of the product without realizing that it would appear so idiotic & bugged up with these ads, I had to extend the list from 10 to many more.
I wonder when the ad makers will make ads that are Meaningful & Without vulgarity / double? meaning dialogues.
