40 Hilariously Bad Advertising Slogans That Turn Fails Into Wins

Think about the most famous and memorable advertising slogans – ‘Just Do It’ from Nike or McDonald’s ‘I’m Lovin’ It’, for example. Those aren’t the ones we’re sinking our teeth into here. Instead, we’re embarking on a hilarious journey through the wilderness of bad advertising slogans and taglines from various companies.

Some might tickle your memory, while others are from small businesses with good intentions but not quite the right execution. Perhaps they lacked a trusty ‘slogan sanity check‘ system, or maybe, just maybe, they cleverly chose the path of ‘so bad it’s good’ to capture the attention of potential customers. I’ve got to say, some of the gems on this list are so outrageously funny, they’d definitely lure me in to ask, ‘Who thought of this?’”
