Worst Ads January 2025.
Every month, it's getting harder finding ads that are either not bad or notably terrible. This is because mediocre boring MUSH has become the “standard” in the industry.
The above is an art installation by Pippa Garner that was at 390 Broadway, NYC from November 18, 2024 to January 25, 2025. It also is where I have been storing all the ‘SUCK” ads I find. Thank you, Pippa.
There is one Super Bowl ad below (plus three more). Most big game brands are still at the “teaser” phase. But I HATE this ad with the fiery hatred of a Googolplex of UY Scutis (750 million times bigger than our pathetic tiny Sun).
Why are you still here, free subscribers? Haven’t you gotten “my drift” yet, it being, this is my job, not a hobby, so it ain’t fucking free? I spent 30 years as a front-line copywriter, creating literally thousands of ads. So this info is worth a shit-ton more than forty fucking dollars a year. No other ad journalist is even worth mentioning, because they’ve all created ZERO ads.
