I'm sure some of you out there likes a mascot or two.
Who doesn't love Fred Bird (besides Angry Brady and The Chief)?
Or Jack from Jack In The Box. The SINGLE greatest marketing campaign of the the last 20 years.
But, there are those out there that just need to go.
Here's the short list.
The Six Flags Guy. I've already established my utter disdain for this douchebag.
First off, no one likes anyone in old man makeup. It never looks right and, of course, they always start dancing. Then, this year, they decide to have him talk. He needs to go the way of the Taco Bell Chihuahua. Die.
Ronald McDonald - This guy has one major strike against him from the start.
He's a fucking clown. Who doesn't hate clowns? Check out the video on our media page to see how creepy he was in the beginning.
If Ronald really ate all that McDonald's food do you really think he'd be as thin as he is on the commericials?
Actually, when was the last time you saw him on a commercial?
He's a shut-in now.
Burger King. This guy is creepy. Who didn't get creeped out by the first commercial with this revised monarch? A dude was woken in the middle of the night with this character standing at the foot of his bed with a Whopper in his hand.
Wow, did the creators of this commercial have some step-father or uncle issues that they had to work out?
All Geico insurance mascots:
Geico takes the cake. Not only do they have an obnoxious mascot, they have three!
First is the Gecko. Cute at first. I'd still like to step on him though. He's not as bad as the other two.
Then there is the Cavemen. How obnoxious are these guys? Are we supposed to feel sorry for them? They became the first ad campaign characters to get their own television show. I think it ended up being cancelled after two episodes.
Perhaps there is a God.
The most recent addition to this hated triad is the Money you could have saved with Geico.
Retarded.
Now we have to hear "Somebody's Watching Me" by Rockwell again. Didn't we hear that enough in 1984?
They are running out of ideas. The worst part of Geico is that they don't retire any of their characters. All three of these are running right now.
None of them can make me pick up the phone and call for insurance quotes. Not even the Progressive Lady can get me to do that and I find her oddly attractive.
I'm sure I've missed some in the list. Feel free to let us know which ones you hate and why.
