Advertisement is important on wanting to you, as a viewer, to help convince you to buy the product or take a look into it.  Sometimes advertisements can be good or memorable, even if you don't end up being sold on the item in question.  Then you get the ads that are bad and don't even convince you to give the product your time of day.  So, what are the worst advertisements you have ever seen before?  Here's some for you:

I actually tried that "Finally Fast" thing.  It tells you that there are a ton of problems with your computer, and then you have to pay them if you want anything done about it.  I don't know why I even bothered;  must have been feeling especially stupid that day.

One (of many) I couldn't stand was this PS3 commercial.  I mean, WTF?  Why in the world would this make anybody want to buy one of these things?  I had a PS1 and PS2, and put off buying a PS3 until last year partially because of these idiotic commercials.  That's pretty bad when your commercials are bad enough to chase away your longtime customers.

No wonder the EV1 never really took off...sheesh. This commercial is so good at evoking feelings of dread and fear that I honestly wouldn't be surprised if this was a deliberate attempt to sabotage the car.

Some commercials I hated were the capital one commercials with that little prick prick abusing the overweight guy, calling him "chubs" and setting him up to get attacked buy irate customers, etc. I'd have slapped that little dick across a room the second time he pulled some of that of me, and yeah, I'm kinda overweight. I really hated those and will never get a C1 card no matter what.

Oddly enough I kinda like their viking commercials though...

The singing loser commercials from"free" credit report.com were annoying and iritating, nor to mention insulting as they said "free" then came right out and said you had to enroll to get the "free" stuff. Yeah, right.

I did a parody of the singing loser's ad once that went:

"We're so sick of hearing, just so sick of hearing 'bout what a loser you are.
We don't wanna hear anything more 'bout how you can't get a good job or a decent ca-arr.

Why don't you shut your damn mouth, just shut your whiny damn mouth,
Get a shotgun, stick it under your chin and blow your loser head off?

Speaking of commercials, I've heard of a euro car commercial that featured SF evil characters like klingons and such trying out a new car and liking it, then a couple daleks come up, obviously can't get into the car so they start screaming EXTERMINATE and blasting the car and everything else.

I hate this commercial and change the channel or hit mute when it comes on. It makes me hate this company.
