10. My latest least favorite involves talking excrement - seriously.

Jan 2025

I posted this on December 20th - A new low has been reached in advertising - talking pee and poop emojis.

Just yesterday, I saw a new ad campaign for Pull-Ups training pants. If I had kids or grandkids of an age to need training pants, I would NOT be buying this brand.

It features a talking drop of urine and a pile of poop with a vaguely British accent. The emojis are sitting on a roll of toilet paper, discussing how proud they are of a child learning to use the bathroom. They even have names - Yureen and Terd. How crude.

Seriously???!!! I thought the Dude Wipes commercial was gross enough. No dignity, no sophistication.

I also despise the perennial most-frequently-mentioned Kars For Kids atrocity, and the Jardiance ads. I'm sick to death of the Flo/Progressive ads, especially Jimmy and the whiny-voiced girl with the sourpuss face.
