Advertising madness: funny videos, but banned due to the reaction (11 photos + 11 videos)
Since the beginning of their existence, commercials have become an integral part of our lives, whether we like it or not. And, unfortunately, sensible advertising is becoming less and less over the years.
Therefore, it is not surprising that with the release of any new advertising there is an increased risk that someone will be offended or angry. Fortunately, the viewer is not so vulnerable. At least for now.
Kim Cattrall car advertisement
Despite the fact that Sex and the City was no longer broadcast, Samantha's image appeared in an advertisement for the Nissan Tiida. As a result, viewers in New Zealand were unhappy with the display of a car described as a sexual partner.
Inappropriate shaking
A rather specific advertisement for a protein shake from For Goodness Shakes. In the shot, men are preparing it in public places, however, it looks like... well, you understand.
It is not surprising that in the UK such protein shaking was considered inappropriate.
Taking care of household chores
A 2011 ad from Polish liquor company Wodka Vodka was allegedly banned for gender stereotyping before it was fashionable.
True, it is not clear what advertising with a dominant woman in leather has to do with vodka.
Hiding an affair
Hyundai has also been noted for its strange advertising of its cars. And the point is not that a woman is cheating on her husband with a young guy. And the fact is that the husband does the same thing, albeit with a guy in a cowboy hat.
This is exactly how the feature of the car with a reclining seat was demonstrated.
Visitor in prison
At first glance, the shot may seem dramatic: a daughter visiting her mother in prison. However, it turns out that she is locked in the bathroom while cleaning. And this is where Vim Cream cleanser comes to the rescue.
The advertising business recognized the video, but viewers did not appreciate the heavy prison theme.
Risky courage
Apparently, this advertisement greatly offended women. After all, its subtext was that if the fair half forgets to shave for even a day, she turns into overly hairy men.
However, everyone felt that shaving company Veet had missed the mark.
Lab Rat Test
The Nintendo Game Boy was proving popular, but one video could ruin the company's family-friendly reputation. And the point is not that the rat chose a toy instead of cheese. And what she did to her later.
Confrontation
A rather strange advertisement for the Xbox 360 console, where people shoot with... pistol fingers. True, the public regarded it as ridiculing acts of violence.
Clothes collection event and pillow fight
An advertisement for Bud Light beer was considered too bold due to office workers undressing in the frame.
However, much more outrage was caused by the advertising of women's pillow fights due to excessive cruelty.
The last dictator left
Nando's decided to advertise its chicken restaurant using images of famous dictators having fun.
Namely, Zimbabwean politician Robert Mugabe remembers his colleagues in the shop and is sad that now he has no one to share chicken with.
