Worst Indian Ads ever!!!

1. Tapa Tap soap Ad, one of the best if not the best of the worst: The most irritating ad. The soundtrack I so jarring that you hear it more than once it will haunt you in your sleep.   


2. Mahaveer Jeans ads. Another Great one. The girl wanted a slave rather than a boyfriend. Or maybe a servant boy!!


3. Some fitting company: It appears as if the girl wanted a plumber instead of a husband. So she married the nearest plumber who is more worried about Nul fitting, and toilet fitting than taking care of his wife!! what Gyan.   


4. Swami Narayana Furniture: It is a typical marriage-looking scene. The boy goes upstairs to the girl's room (Don't get naughty ideas). Rather he has other ideas. He admires the furniture. He comes down and says "I like". His mother gives a coy smile and says "The girl or the furniture". He says "both". what an ad. This ad needs an Oscar for the worst ad ever made  - the world over!!


5. Quba Mobiles: A dramatic ad where goons chase a girl throughout Hyderabad mohallas to find out where she bought her (Cute Mobile). 


6. Quba Again: In this classic ad the humble Doodh wala gets the better of the Bollywood hero-like man using what else - the Quba Mobile. wah kya, scene hai. 


7. Indu Technical Institute: This person can get the final degree from the genie right. But no, he asks the genie which is the best technical institute in India? And genie being genie tells him that "Indu is the best technical institute in the world". End of the story.  


8. JK white Cement: wow what a comparison. JK white cement and a bikini-clad girl emerging from the sea. David Olgolvy must be watching in total happiness. 
   

9. Dixcy Scott: One of the silliest ads ever. Why did Salman have to do such a trash? In the ad, Salman's friend wonders if Scottish people wear underwear beneath their skirts. The thought was creepy enough. But the ad does not end there. Salman plays a silly tune and promptly the Scots' skirts dropdown. To our relief, they are wearing underwear. But Salman has a last laugh. He smirks and says, "They do wear but they don't wear Dixcy Scott underwear like us". This is one of the worst under-the-belly ads.

10. Rajani Ganda Auction ad: The son of the hotel's gateman buys the same hotel for his father paying US 500 million dollars. The secret of his success. Eating Rajani Ganda pan masala right from his childhood. This is taking fantasy to the next level.   


11. MTR - IDLY Mahabharatha ad: Why are Hindus and Hinduism targeted for advertising creativity. In this deplorable ad an actor who looks like Arjuna throws an arrow that becomes a rava Idly and the entire opposing army is defeated. If only we had MTR - Rava Idly during the British times. We could not have been colonized in the first place. 


12. Mahindra Gusto Ad: one of those confusing tongue twisters of an ad.  If you want to buy a Gusto buy it. If you don't want to buy a gusto, buy it. I am totally confused. 



13. XXX soap: Classic case of an ad where there is a mismatch between the product's name and the tagline, "Samskaravanthamaina Soap". The soap makes people gentle, cultured, and deeply rooted in the Indian religion and the country. Great so far, as all of us know XXX stands for pornography, and XXX videos are the rage on the internet. Dont know if the makers realize this mismatch!!!

  1. I never heard about XXX soap. How the manufacturer could name his product when meaning of XXX is so evident.

  2. Yes Sir, common sense is not common. I think they must have thought 3X means triple power. This soap is in the market for more than 20 years!!! No one cares.
