A Compilation of the Worst Marketing Campaigns the Internet has to Offer

Filling the blank slate of our information superhighway with garbage, one ad at a time

You won’t be thinking, “Maybe it’s Maybelline” anytime soon. You might be thinking it’s ethically dubious to run these campaigns, however. You might even be thinking whether anybody else sees what you are seeing.

Over the last decade of internet surfing, I have come across my fair share of heavily targeted ads that I am a victim of. It seems that, over these last few years, some demographics are so heavily targeted that they don’t get to see anything else except for the same repeated trash over and over again.

It’s only fair that we showcase how hilariously bad they are here.

Hi Kyle Dennis, or is it Dyle Kennis? Can we please get the story straight?

I find these marketing campaigns for The Raging Bull offered on Quora and on Yahoo!. They’re awful because they are on literally every single page on Quora and they are always on the Yahoo! front page whenever I find myself there. But they’re not awful because they’re everywhere.

They’re awful because the story and the numbers are always changed.
