Video: Oh sweet Mother divine, this is one of the best worst ads we’ve ever seen

There really is no excuse for this...

There really is no excuse for this…

Advertisements, as we all know, are an opportunity to reinforce a brand and carve out a target audience. Y’know, show off some creativity maybe, but mostly we like when they have fun.

Mister T flinging Snickers at people with a catapult or the Old Spice man asking you to “look at your man” ads that go viral on the internet are usually entertaining.

Not this one. Not intentionally anyway.

This appears to a be a bunch of random people who were shown a camera and told just “say what you sell in the most annoying way possible and look completely uncomfortable while doing it… ACTION!”

It seems to be  shot on a Super 8 camera from 1994 and edited together by the director’s great-granny with a pair of scissors and some sellotape. We give you… the East Hills Shopping Mall commercial.

Enjoy, we certainly did…
