Who Needs a Movie?
Posted Mar 18th 2008 9:00AM by Tonka D., Attending Videologist
Filed under: Random
We don't need a movie, but even if we did, we won't be hiring these two guys to do the job. During our practice as videologists, we've seen all kinds of bad editing jobs, but this video ad tops them all. Or maybe Fred and Sharon intentionally made their 'commercial' to look so bad just to generate some viral buzz and sell more crappy videos on their
web site. What do you think?

3. Don't agree. The worst commercial(s) ever are those about that headache remedy, "apply directly to the forehead" medication. I hate that thing and have it ingrained that I will NEVER buy that product.
Followed closely by anything that is hawked on TV by that Billy Mays idiot. So irritating.

4. That was by far one of the worst commercials I've ever seen in my life. I'll bet that their internet business is actually doing WORSE since the inception of this video.

5. Are they serious?! Trust me, it was not just poorly made to get hits on their site. If it was, their site would have better videos on it! These two seem like they took a class at the library and quit after the lunch break on the first day.

10. That truly sucks but I've seen expensive national commercials that were more annoying. It's a local yokel commercial and they are often poorly done on a limited budget. I bet nobody in their area who sees that commercial will forget their business but that's not necessarily a good thing in their case.

14. BWAHAHAHAH I serioulsy laughed my a$$ off! The worst part about the commercial was the ugly fat chick in the dress that was so tight it gave her side boobs. And she talked like she had just had a stroke! OMG I loved the loch ness monster at the end. I am SO calling the number they showed on the screen. I am going to play this at my party and seriously my friends and I will watch it forty times. GREAT commercial I loved it! It brought some humor to my life and made me feel better about myself!
