A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions

Please don't post about US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion

Rules: (interactive)

1) Be nice and; have fun

Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them

2) All posts must end with a '?'

This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?

3) No spam

Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.

4) NSFW is okay, within reason

Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either [email protected] or [email protected]. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].

5) This is not a support community.

It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

I don't mean like scams or anything like that. I mean what's the ad that has done the worst job as an advertisement? Instead of making you want to buy the product you wanted to avoid it.

The Folger's "coming home" (incest heavily implied) ad https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fhfcWTZeP1k

ok, not an ad. it's a sketch. the incest is the joke, not implied.

This is the actual ad, the video the person above linked cuts periodically between the actual ad and drop-in skit scenes carrying the joke well beyond the point of being funny (imo)

Still some weird undertones there tho

*sketch, as in sketch comedy. not a skit. I'm sorry, I don't want to be pedantic but it drives my neuro-divergent brain crazy. but yeah, that's a gross commercial. have a beautiful day fellow human.
