Bad Ad Placements

- Before I made a living by shrieking Furby noises, I sorted ads for the local paper and can confirm this happens a lot. We ran a half-page story once about someone who drowned in a river; what huge advert sat just below it? Swimming lessons.
bad ad placements, for example RUclips ads on first aid tutorials
If you are watching this you might be in a dire situation right now. But before we get into the tutorial let me tell you about our sponsor for todays video: raid shadow legends

@@FruitaFuka true true. It’s in 258
The “come a little closer” as was intentional, seeing as it’s funeral service. Also, the severed foot thing is actually because those feet were attached to people who drowned, but their shoes protected their feet from getting eaten by fish like the rest of the body. Still morbid, but at least it’s not a murderer with a penchant for foot removal
That actually makes perfect sense. It always seemed like such a weird thing to come onto shore. Fascinating.
@@acidicdiamond eyyyyyyyy
@@Pumpkin-man ?
Come a little closer; 3:09
Severed feet; 3:31 (end of video)
Yeah, I'm pretty sure it was determined they all died by suicide jumping off a bridge into a ravine up river from the coast. The human foot is pretty loosely attached to the body, so as the soft tissues get eaten and/or decay, feet easily become detached. The running shoes they were wearing float, causing the feet to get swept away from the body and onto shore. Pretty gross stuff lol.
The "Come a little closer" in the subway was actually intentional and an ad for a funeral home. (their details are in smaller print on the ad)
While it was intended as nothing but dark humor, it was quickly removed after protests from suicide prevention advocates.
Oh, I didn’t get the joke until now. That’s definitely creepy!
Creative and original? Yes. Horribly out of touch and in bad taste? Also yes.
0:49 I was curios what’s inside the coffin so I went to the site but it says “Access denied”
Can anyone tell me whats inside the coffin?
@@StrawberryLyricsWorld His mom, dressed all in white, looking like an angel! Making him realize that he's wasted his life on drugs and being a bad person, and then 10 minutes more of motivational speech about why you should talk to your parents and don't do drugs.
the joke might've been crude as hell but as a suicidal bitch, i still think that's hilarious
i remember watching a video about a woman who was detailing what it was like to live with a condition that makes her grow a beard, how she's overcome insecurities and gained confidence, etc. and the ad that played before it was a hair removal ad
update: i went to go watch it again and it was a beard growth ad
i can not make this up yall

I got a hair removal ad while watching this video
oh
@@thiccybapbap5495 me too lol
I don't know how nobody in the process of putting up a sign saying "come a little closer" on the other side of subway tracks took a look at it and said "yeah maybe not" lol
It was put there intentionally. It’s dark humor because, if you look at the fine print, you can see that it’s an ad for funeral services.
Him’skekjdjd
there was a PSP ad in subway stations right next to the tracks saying: take a running jump here
Yeah that one obviously is intentional, otherwise it wouldn't even make sense. Therefor I don't think it fits in "bad placement" when that's one of the few places it can be placed.
Its a funeral home ad
this is like organic, raw, grass-fed comedy. nobody wrote the jokes, they just accidentally happened and we found them and shared them. I love this type of humour
So it's randomly generated humor, just like VeggieTales predicted.
@@tekmogm5979 More like naturally selected I'd say. The actual things themselves are random, but to be shared they have to be good, so only the best out of thousands make it into videos like this.
Same!
Wild comedy
@@tekmogm5979 Cartoons are so good at predicting the future it’s kinda weird
The worst ad placement I remember is that a fastfood restaurant had a limited time fused burger... The very second it ended there was a news commercial about conjoined twins that were born fused at the face. I try not to think about it, but it always pops back up in my mind when "bad ad placement" is mentioned.

Perfect example of it I had: an article describing a gruesome death of a 6 years old boy torn to shreds by a farm feeding machine. Slotted perfectly in the middle of the article was... an ad for minced meat on sale at the local supermarkets.... 😬😬😬😬😬

They did not… 😀
Adsense's got a sick sense of humour.
That's a yikes/10

Several years ago there was a head of a federal state in germany called Erwin Teufel (a somewhat unfortunate name since Teufel is german for devil). What made his name even funnier is the fact that he stepped down from office the day a new pope got elected. And so it came as it had to come that there were newsstories next to each other like:
Benedict elected new pope
Teufel steps down from office
Lmafo, that is an amazing story and fact that I just read.
A really unfortunate coincidence, lmao.
New pope so holy that the devil has decided to retire

I remember watching a documentary about the Backpacker Murders in the Australian Outback. The sponsor for the channel was a travel company, and before and after every break I saw an advert encouraging me to go backpacking in the Australian Outback. Funnily enough I didn’t want to.

I was watching a channel that switched over to more mature advertisements at around 1AM. One time, when that happened, an ad interrupted another ad, resulting in a car ad promising to be the only luxury car offering MALE ENHANCEMENT.
Aw yes can't wait to buy my car and get my *MALE ENHANCEMENT!*
It’s here get Pumped
But isn’t that the whole reason to buy a lifted pickup truck? To enhance my manhood?

@@noahjackl2240 no, we have enough of those guys here in the South. We don’t need more.
It’s likely due to algorithms on websites most of the time. It sees a key word and says “HEY, this would make a GREAT place to put an ad for a third party phone charger” not realizing “charged” and “cord” are the found key words because it’s an article on a man ‘charged’ with murder for strangling someone else with an extension ‘cord.’
While watching a TV programme protesting against slave workers in the Middle East, Amazon Prime gave me an ad for Qatar Airways and how great it is in Qatar...
that's what I thought
I was watching a video by a youtuber who got severely burned at a restaurant, she was telling her story... and in the middle of the video, she got cut off by an ad that went: "DON'T WANT TO GET BURNED?" (It was for a server that searches for the best prices across eshops lol)

I never forget that one time my local newspaper had a big picture of kids in makeup/masks trick or treating and above the photo was the written title. "Mental illness! More troubles for the police as the issues intensifies." 😂
I love bad ad placements, it makes me actually want to look at the ad.
They are hilarious in a dark way.
@@justinarzola5782 Even more darker then you think.
That's how they get you.
@@GavinLepley what if i don't go anywhere near their stores?
This reminded me of someone on twitter who made a paper hat out of newspaper for their child and later noticed all the terrible news, like "Man admits to beating cat to death in fit of rage"
I love animals and children, but that is so horrendous that it made me laugh when I realized 😂
I suspect at least some of these were caused by algorithms targeting articles with certain words in the title for their ads but because it's a machine it completely missed the context in which said words was used.
I once saw an ad with Garfield on a billboard but it was smiling down at a graveyard, holding a thumbs up
Sounds like they're his victims.
@@gengarzilla1685 exactly
A graveyard of every cow, pig, and chicken he's eaten (beef, pork, and chicken in lasagna), every fish he's eaten, and every spider he's squashed. There is also a memorial for every fern he's eaten or destroyed.
NOT THE ORSONS
the "come a little closer" one in a train is definitely intentional, since it's an ad for a funeral service
I saw a billboard ad for a cemetery that said something like, “Drive carefully! We don’t want to see you yet!”
Sometimes, I get an odd... strange... feeling that some bad ad placements are perhaps somewhat intentional.
In a way, some of them KIND of are… Sometimes Internet ads get placed in certain articles due to key words in the articles (by an algorithm without regard for context). E.g., if a restaurant chain wants to sell lobster rolls, websites might automatically put the ad by any article with the word “lobster” in it.
I saw an article a few days ago about a couple who came home to see a stray dog outside their front gate. Skipping the long details, they eventually adopted it. And one of the ads on the article was about dog breeds you should never adopt
Damn that's rough.
0:31 Larry knew damn well what he was doing when he placed this ad
I lived in that town. Not sure about Larry himself, he's pretty chill, but since most of the workers there are college students, probably intentional.
I COULDN'T STOP LAUGHING AT THE VIDEO AT THE PLACES WHERE ADVERTS WENT
Also your voice carried the hilarity of the video extremely well.

0:54 the lady in the ad even LOOKS like her?? what are the chances of that!
Extremely slim 😭🙏
3:08 That one's intentional though, if you look closely you can see it's for a funeral house and it's absolutely genius
And then once your able to actually notice that part in person they can already host your funeral!

And Krispy Kremes
Never forget his sacrifice. Every time you bite into a donut, remember that Jesus gave up his life so that you could ingest 500 calories and 62 grams of sugar in under 2.5 minutes
I think why some of these happen is that ads get recommended based on the content on websites… which ends up with things like this happening
A moment of silence for the kid that bought that cucumber/pickle (I never learned the difference) for their mother cause of that ad
I think that a "pickle" is just a cucumber that's been in a jar with vinegar for some time..
A pickle is a cucumber that's been pickled. Pickling involves soaking something in brine for long periods of time. The brine kills off bacteria, allowing pickles to have a great shelf life

The funniest thing is that targeted ads actually make it much _more_ likely for situations like this to occur

For some reason the one at 1:31 gives me so much nostalgia for those old ads that would sometimes warp the whole page. I remember back in like 2010 I saw this State Farm ad with a car on it that when you click a little repeat symbol on the bottom right of the ad some giant guy would pop out of the middle of the page, grab the car from the ad, crush and drop it, then go back into the page. Never to be seen again until you click the little repeat symbol again. It was cool
now ads are just boring
@@squidiskool now they're annoying
Metro newspaper had a big front-page advert for the newly released Pokemon Black and White games, which unfortunately ran right when the Fukushima disaster happened. So you got 'Major earthquake hits Japan - Pokemon Everywhere!'

I remember, I once saw an ad for Hungry Jacks mini's which were these tiny burgers that were joined together cute idea, but immediately after it there was an news story about 2 little girls who were, conjoined twins. Talk about timing
Why does this guy’s voice sound like the most unholy combination of American, British, and slightly Australian?
advertising is one of humanity’s greatest scourges . i hate it so much
Some years ago, there was a news article about a teenage Russian girl who was murdered, chopped up, and then cooked and eaten with potatoes.
The ad next to it? "Chili's slow smokes ours for 4 hours"
I once saw an article about a family dying in a boating accident with a cruise ship alongside multiple ads about a cruise ship.
my mom LOVES the marijuana air guitar meme so much, she often says that if one of us kids ever started doing marijuana she would do air guitar before anything else

HOLY SHIT I REMEMBER THAT! That was like 2015, thought that shit was nuts when I saw it on the news. And I could see the smoke from my neighborhood on the edge of Hillview.
Oh, and that ad is also hilariously dark.
i remember seeing a picture that said "speak up, stand together, quit -drugs- SCHOOL" and there was an ad next to it that said "thousands of african children cannot go to school"
I had one. It was a page about a Far Cry easter egg involving a mountain climber (IDK which mountain to be specific) frozen to death.
EXACTLY below the "frozen to death" part was an ad that said: "We're not gonna leave you on the ice!" (Original text (PL): Nie zostawimy cię na lodzie!)
@Gi Gi Based on a real climber, who also froze there. R.I.P
Ads exactly know what they're doing because technically bad emplacements will make people make videos and posts and then they will get sponsored with no work to do, or maybe it's me overthinking...
Def overthinking
@@bingusdingus8268 so i was right , i was overthinking
Nope, not overthinking, they often do it intentionally
@@theRPGmaster ah so my theory was right
Ad algorithms try to put ads on content related to them, based on similar keywords. Unfortunately (or fortunately) they aren't able to determine whether the context of that keyword is positive or not. Hence how you end up with an ad for a phone on an article talking about how that exact phone is a smoking pile of garbage.
i will never forget the time cnn showed some terrifying ukrainian war footage and immediately cut to an upbeat applebee’s ad a few months back
it was B A D
I have those lyrics burned into my head because of that commercial.
"Come a little closer" is intentional, it's from a funeral home. I'm pretty sure they also made a billboard that read "text and drive."
I remember watching a broadcast of Kyiv, and right after some air raid sirens went off, an Arby's ad played
Ohhh mate I saw that as well!
Hmmm
"Sirenhead wanted some Arby's.", says internet, realizing that the bad ad placement caused this to happen.
The best one I've seen was a RUclips video where a woman says she feels like her nose looks like a potato, and immediately an advert plays where a potato is smashed and fries take it's place
As someone that actually lives near Larry’s Dawg House, I was not ready to see that here. What makes it better is every week they have a “Weenie Wednesday” where hot dogs are ridiculously cheap. The road’s pretty much ALWAYS a traffic jam there because of all the people wanting Weenie Wednesday.
Oh yeah. Don't even try going down that street Wednesdays because of all the people. At this point I'm surprised the city hasn't gotten involved. A bit sad they upped the Hot Dog price that day from 99 cents to 1.29 but what are you gonna do.
I was watching a youtube video once about people treating a massive insect infestation. What followed was an ad for an extermination company.
Actually a good placement, but I still thought this belonged here.
I think Matt Rose is one of the only youtubers I've never gotten bored of. All your videos are hilarious!

One time I was going to watch a video by JaidenAnimations that was about it being her bird's birthday, and right before the video I got an ad for some McDonalds egg sandwich and it showed an egg cracking which is very fitting since birds hatch from eggs.

This actually canon, from the episode "Cupid's Little Helper" at the end. She also smooched him the episode before, called "The Super Special Gift." Wubbzy x Daizy is my favorite running joke in the show, and the only ship I ship. I see you have a Daizy PFP. My MKDS emblem is a slightly pixelated version of her face. She's my favorite character, which is pretty controversial to say in the WWW fandom. She's basically Bubbles 2.0.
Also, yeah I thought it was a SpongeBob reference as well.

I remember something in the Guardian's website in 2010: the England team had arrived home after the disappointing World Cup that year (we were dull against Algeria and were stuffed by Germany). The advert? An NSPCC one saying "You're useless".
I'm sure the England fans who went to South Africa would have agreed.
For a children's rights organisation, that's one hell of a roast. I need to see that picture with my own eyes.
@@fcmacbeth - It was just a massive coincidence that, of all the ads the Guardian had, the adbot chose that one (I accidentally hit the back button whilst reading it. A different ad was in its place.)
The "come a little closer" one is for funeral services so it's perfectly placed really
0:51 the fact that the F1 driver and the model has the same hair color and hairstyle can't just be a coincidence
3:09 the fact that this ad was there on purpose because its an ad from a funereal home makes it 10 times better
I saw one that was a newspaper reporting on a kid who stabbed his dad to death and there was an ad for kitchen knives saying "Just in Time for Father's Day"
I laughed so hard at the “come a little closer” subway train one
Was reading the news and I scrolled down, found a picture of a wolf growling with the caption "perfect dog breeds for old people 2023" 🤣

I remember once like 2 years ago I was watching some web series and a character was introducing himself but there was an ad placed that made it sound like he said "My name is WHEN SMARTPHONES ARE EXPENSIVE..." so all I refered to that character as for the rest of the time I was watching the series was When Smartphones Are Expensive, which turned into Wsae (pronounced like Wuh-say). (Don't remember what series or even Wsae's actual name, but I do remember that it was a rather dark series that had like 20 character deaths, Wsae being one of them if I remember correctly, also I think it was 3D animated)
Reminds me of World of Warcraft's Battle For Azeroth expansion, where the deity of death had a difficult name to remember how to spell/pronounce (Bwonsamdi) so I just called him Bob. I got others doing it too. "What quest chain should we do now?" "Eh, let's go do Bob's stuff." "A'ight."

I just got an ad for a fireplace, with the first line being “Fire brings people together.” This ad was put before a news video about the Maui wildfires.
2:48 Sounds like it would be the plot to a horror movie
Like the staff at the beach begins to murder people at the beach and news began to talk about people disappearing in the beach but they put their ads in the news to get more dead bodies
They all have this energy of " shows you service" followed from something that would make you twice about said service
the one at 3:08 was actually put there with purpose. it's an ad for a funeral service.
My personal favorite was from a 1924 article about my great-great-grandmother’s murder. Her body was stuffed in a trunk and the article reporting on the case had an ad for trunks right underneath. Clearly some editor at the news place saw their chance and took it
I swear the "Come join the fun!" being close to a literal graveyard almost killed me LMAO.
And it's an ad for a funeral service.
I was just watching your vids and was excited to see another one just got posted!
2:04 I actually bought this one on a postcard once, many years ago. Always makes me laugh! (I still have the postcard somewhere)
I once saw one that was all in one ad for the local aquarium. It said "See fish. Eat fish." Yes, that's right, you could eat fish at the aquarium. Where else?
Well, if the aquarium has seafood in its menu, then you can (obviously not from the exhibits). I once ate a seafood platter at Sydney SeaLife Aquarium from the cafeteria menu (it had barramundi, prawns, and squid, plus tartar sauce and sweet chilli).
There used to be these two billboards across the street from each other on my way to work. One said “A little high is still too high to drive” the other said “Welcome to the high life. Miller High Life.” I got a kick out of it every morning.
The “come a little closer one” was on purpose. Why?
It’s an ad for funeral services.
*oh no*
Passing through a rural town near where I live, McDonald’s sign lines up perfectly with a pro-Christian billboard. Ended looking like it read “god created *M C D O N A L D*”
"And on the fifth day, the Lord created the Fillet-O-Fish and the Chicken Burger."
"On the sixth day, God, commanded, "Let the Earth be filled with burgers of every kind."
"Mentally I am here... in the Mushroom Kingdom except everything is made of legos." ngl I've been in much worse places mentally.
something even better about the ad placement at 0:55 is that there's also an ad of a guy screaming looking at the sunken ship, it's like they knew what they were doing
it's always a good day when matt rose uploads
My day gets better when Matt posts! ^^
Exactly what I needed after breaking down, thank you Matt!

My favorite bad sign placement will forever be “UN Involved In Peace”. That gem at the expense of the United Nations.
2:43 has got to be intentional 😂😂
A lot of these are just what happens when the algorithm decides to pick an ad related to the topic, but has no concept of context.
Either that or the algorithm has a really twisted sense of humour.
the worst ad i've seen in person is that on teh freeway in my town there's a cemetery and a billboard says "drive safely *we can wait"* like they want you dead

ad before the RUclips video: "right now a child is being diagnosed with cancer..."
