The Mafia Boss ads get me every time. Starting as a Level 1 crook then immediately take down a level 30 mob boss, take his money and his girl and the mob boss just starts crying. Truly groundbreaking material here.
I believe that Lilly's Garden is one of the worst offenders of this tactic. Its like watching a 5-30 second soap opera, with the game just thrown in for extra entertainment.
Gotta respect Lilly’s Garden for the little dramas turning into it’s own side series. Then you have Matchington Manor or Homescapes showing gameplay they were obligated to add in after getting hit with laws that end up only being little cutaways after every.. idk 10-20 levels of matching levels?
honestly lilys garden at least has some effort put into it. the ads charlie is talking about make absolutely no sense and look like they were made with animation equipment from 2005
I know, I have such a problem with the adds, becose I actually already had the game downloaded, and for the most part injoyed it, but those adds just fucking bug me so much that it makes me just want to delete the game
The ads for the game where they degrade each other for not having enough “power” is my favorite if you have the least power your girlfriend will be gone you will pay for everyone’s dinner and you will be the first fired from the job site
Spoken like a true low power peasant. My life is AWESOME because I chose the Mongolian race to get raiding bonus plus I fast tracked my empire by rerolling for Juggernaut perk V3. Basically, I'm swimming in so much booty, it's criminal.
Joke's on you Charlie, they intentionally made the ads so bizarre that they would get your attention and warrant a video. Now they've got an even bigger audience, checkmate.
They’re always either so low-quality you’d think they came from r/dankmemes, or so incredibly sexually explicit that it’s hard to believe they’re legal

I love how the red dress the lady on the thumbnail is wearing is actually Ada's dress from the Resident Evil 2 remake, its not even recolored or anything
For an ad, use 5 or more of the following ingredients. Lady ass Farts Asshole bullies character Asshole gets screwed Implied gameplay that isn't in the game SUPER SPEED GAMEPLAY Random choice cliffhanger that also doesn't happen in actual game Character goes from level 1 to 100 in seconds
They are literally only made to target younger audiences like 10 and below. My little brother is 7 and plays on my grandpa’s phone all the time and everytime he sees one of these crappy ads he downloads it cause he’s like “ooh bright colors, fun shoots stuff”
"Forgive us. Forgive us. Forgive us." "We're late. We're late. We're late." "We have tried everything to reduce the game to 1 Gigabyte." "Forgive us." "Now we can happily announce that (insert game) finally launched today." "Download now!"
I wanna know the actors for this ad so I can see what ad agency they work for and find a way to sue them for making terrible ads cause I’m tired of all these people as they are the worst. I mean they are likely trying to make a living like everyone else but do they not see what they’re helping be produced? “Rhetorical question”
3:37 I am so used to getting these ads that I immediately tried spamming the "skip" button, like at this point it's an instinct, like as soon as my brian sees that skip button my thump just fucking moves instictively to spam the hell out that that skip button.
Btw, Fun Fact: The corporation behind State of Survival owns the Valorant Team "FunPlus Phoenix". That team won the most recent season in the European Region. They also had a controversy where they didnt want to pay some of their players for winning, simply because they are russian.
Some of these ads steal from other games and call it their own! I tried reporting some of them for being inappropriate, guess what? They come back and I can’t report them.
I think I lose a brain cell each time I see a mobile game ad. I don't think there has ever been a mobile game ad that intrigued me to actually play it.
I love the ones where the mother and baby are freezing to death and it's your job to collect 5 pieces of wood after she can't maken the right decisions putting in a door or putting painters tape up.
The best one ever made was lily's garden and it is the one weirdest ones out there. They created a full blown soap opera narrative over multiple different ads that last over 30 mins. master class story telling for a match 3 game if I say so myself.
my favorite ad of all time is when this girls falls and the guy helps her n she says “get away from me you stink” then he helps a grandma and starts a business then she ends up working for him. its so unbelievably funny that it had me laughing for half an hour ☠️
still genuinely suprised there's not a single testimonial from someone who has worked on one of these ads (possibly because they're most likely outsourced to non english-speaking countries) or someone who has willingly done an interview or anything, it's just so mysterious and no one who's into the mystery is willing to explain anything, shit's weird. I assume these are so weird because the animation is outsourced to a really cheap producing company so the company doesn't have to spend a lot of money on a mobile ad, the animators most likely have awfully low budget, so they just work with what they have, even if it looks bad, might also be why the animation is god awful yet the models look "high quality", since it's probably two different companies, and one clearly has a higher budget
Anyone notice how those mafia boss ads use a off brand model of Sam Fisher from splinter cell double agent from prison? How come they never get sued? Man's even got the strap with the light on the back shoulder.
Anybody ever see the one where a guy fires a pregnant lady and she just spews out her baby and starts crying. Absolutely horrid that someone puts so little effort or humor into their ads.
one of the ads i get from state of survival is basically 2-in-1 the momebt i skip i get put into this nostalgia bait point and click ad but its zoomed in so badly that i physically and mentally can not click the x button, its not even there, so they definitively have the most cancerous ads
Tbf a lot of the times if an ad is really fuckin wild I end up watching most of it out of morbid curiosity, it seems like a legitimate strategy that would work on people like me
I'm glad people are addressing this because every mobile game ad I've seen is just weird shit like this or some influencer I've never heard of reading a script talking about how rad the game is.
Cop: “You are being arrested for stealing” Person: “I have a level 5 Brutus” Cop: “I apologise, I didn’t know. You will be set free without consequence”
My favorite ads are those ones where a woman playing the game finds out you have a high level in the game and reacts like they want you to just go down on them immediately, then a jealous dude nearby asks, “how did you do it?” Then the guy just gives a full on guide on how to play the game.
I don't understand I've played this game and the ad has nothing to do with the game. The game is actually pretty fun and addictive although every one that I played with was 30 to 50 years old
@@codebreaker2814 Do you like anime? If you play mobile games, and like anime waifus, Azur Lane is the one mobile game I legitimately recommend to anyone. Not just as a good mobile game, but to me it's genuinely a good game in general.
Mobile ads are so ridiculously versatile. One day it's just gameplay, another day it's softcore hentai, other days it's just an entire 8 episode season of randomness and chaos.
I was part of "The actual game" dev group, where a guy got so pissed that the ads of mobile games were so misleading, that he made the game they were advertising but not offering. It was wild, what spite can do to people.
And I need to clarify, I wasn't a developer, I was part of the development group, a community where we all pitched ideas for the games, beta tested it, and sent the actual developer screenshots of the misleading ads to add those levels to his game. I realized how I worded that was poorly.
@@alissacheck4194 i remember hearing about that game a number of weeks ago cool that someone decided to make 1 especially after memes (and the ads themselves) around mafia city, lilys garden, and raid shadow legends reached the levels of popularity that they did. side note originally thought u were saying you were a developer for that game that was made in spite by another developer of one of the many mobile games with AI marketing teams but obviously not lol still cool that you helped with it though
The people who made Evony: The King’s Return need to be held for crimes against humanity. Seeing their ads drives me one step closer to insanity every time.
Have you seen the new evony ad where it's some dude with horribly dubbed audio talking about how he finally found the game with those stupid simple golden pin puzzles with lava and treasure and water and some monster and/or a damsel in distress? It's some truly splendid bull poop
As someone with a crippling Hill Climb Racing 2 addiction, I can confidently say the death grunts in the Evony ads are the best piece of media to ever be recorded in advertising history.
@@alyzeaaa yeah, that's pretty accurate. But this doesn't highlight the ones that just steal footage from PC games, where you can see the mouse cursor.
They’re designed to make you go ‘that’s so wrong, I can do better’ hoping you’ll download the game to try and prove it, the worst part is is that it works - I almost fall for it every time
It's wild how these ads are so disconnected from what the actual game's gameplay even entails. I understand that these games are nowhere mainstream enough to warrant a discussion around them, but the amount of ads for games where the ads are just not even connected to the gameplay is becoming a little too much now. Hopefully a discussion does start around them to an extent where they investigate it and rule it to be false advertising because that's what it is
My hypothesis is that all these ads are tailored to make you angry at it, where you witness a bad decision takenby the narrator just so you will "go and show them how it works". Or they hope you will want to see what happens. You find out the game is nothing like the ad, but at least you're already there, you just might play it...
It's so awful, not to mention extremely suggestive ads that are clearly targeting children. Imagine if these ads aired on nickelodeon or something lol.
The ads shown here, although misleading, but they're just harmless and goofy. I wish Charlie or someone would talk about this one game (or maybe multiple but I've only seen one) that keeps making ads about sexually harassing women! It's just a freaking puzzle game and one ad of theirs even has a cliffhanger of a almost r*pe situation. It truly gets my blood boiling. I try to report the game every time one of their ads pop up to me, and luckily their ads stopped appearing to me. But I just can't forget them and I don't understand what kind of sexual predators was the game trying to cater to.
These ads make me genuinely pissed off. I feel like a child who has to deal with adults making faces at me to get me to laugh. It's fucking insufferable
Just think, somewhere out there, someone is getting into their car right now to drive to work and make this trash. They get paid Jack shit and have to follow a script for some terrible ad that is literally copied from 15 different companies
I’ve been getting ads from a game called “Evertale”, that depict a Pokémon-esque creepypasta ARG, and what makes me so angry is that the ads look fantastic like it was something I actually wanted to exist, but “big surprise” it’s just another generic anime waifu rpg, I mean I could literally see it on the icon for the game placed on the ad, like c’mon nobody’s being fooled here. I just don’t understand how they can make those ads and not think “wait… why don’t we just actually MAKE this, instead of our actual shitty unoriginal game?” Then there’s those constant RoK ads where they advertise ONLY the Vikings faction and NOTHING ELSE. Every time an ad comes up I’m just like “Oh boy what’s the news on how great the Vikings are today?”
the ADs are actually social experiments. YES REALLY. they make fake game ads then they record data for how much attention they get. the ADs that get maximum attention from specific people (gambling addicts) are developed into real games. they literally make ads first then they make the game for the ads
I'd be lying if I said some of these ads don't get me invested in the lore of their universe. Like how did this man end up trapped in between a spike trap and lava? I need to know.
Other mobile game advertisement formats: -actors claiming to be devs bowing and apologizing for some reason -stupid simple puzzle game that is failed to bait dumb people thinking "I can solve that" -some overly enthusiastic social media influencer acting like they are playing a game that is clearly fake/scripted gameplay while commenting about what they see happening
Don't forget promo codes with repeating number XXX777 XXX888 As if they own by the same people just with different publisher or they all hiring the same sh!tty advertising company.
@@PickleRicksFATASSCOUSIN im assuming they saw that commercial of a japanese company apologizing by bowing when they raised the price of their product (i think it was ice cream?)
That second example is every ad for 'Puzzles & Survival.' It's so blatantly obvious how that ad's trying to manipulate people, because nobody's _that_ stupid! I've been suckered into downloading and installing a few pure Evony clones (yes, State of Survival, Chief Almighty, King of Avalon and War and Peace, I'm looking at all of you), but I'll give yet another Evony rip-off a chance before I even _think_ about installing Puzzles & Survival for the first time.
Merge Mansion's ads though are on a whole new level- even going so far as having live-action scenes featuring legit actors, and a whole mysterious lore behind it. 😂
Is that the one where the woman inherits a dilapidated mansion, and there's a granny character who gets hauled off by the cops (I assume for killing the previous owner)? And when they do the pressing-their-hands-together-through-the-glass thing, the woman lifts her hand, and _Granny has "HE'S STILL ALIVE" or something written on her palm_ and she gives the woman an encouraging smirk as the car pulls out?
I saw an ad with actual actors that was a woman sitting on a couch on her phone, then a man comes up behind her with a knife like he's going to stab her and is entranced by the game she's playing. the whole first scene happens in a second or two but they just gloss right over that shit like it never happened.
All it accomplished was me going "wtf did I just see?!" And thinking about murder man for the entirety of the ad. Couldn't tell you what the ad was for.
I saw an ad for one of those "choose your own adventure" story games, and it was based in a high school where a girl hid in a locker because she caught her dad and the male principle making out in the hallway. It then gave you the option to basically continuing hiding and watching them exchange saliva, or to out her dad to her mom about being gay and a cheater 💀
Judge: “Do you know what you just committed?” Suspect: “Do you know who you are talking to?” Judge: “You have just killed a family of 4 and stole their vehicle and ran over 2 pedestrians.” Suspect: “That’s cool and all but, I have a level five Brutus, Shemira and Wu Kong with a combat rating of 10 million, I am the leader of the strongest alliance on the server!” Judge: “Aight sorry bro, you free to go.”
Yeah and the annoying part is the few times I actually thought about downloading one of the games off the shitty ads it seems apparent from all the reviews that the game doesn't actually work or plays like how it is advertised.
@@HairyJuan then there's the weird running games or jumping games where it's clearly just thrown together in a few seconds. Then you proceed to download it and your phone heats up to 500 degrees. Still don't know what half of those are doing that heats your phone up so much.
@@aethlred7380 If you check the app permissions on most of these mobile games, you'll very quickly see that's it's either using adware to fill your phone with ads, or using your phone to mine crypto.
The worse version of these are the ones with actual people, they either push in line and just make the excuse they have a 5star character and they’re always saying something but it’s voiced over by someone else so it’s like watching an English dub of an English show

@@codebreaker2814 Do you like anime? If you play mobile games, and like anime waifus, Azur Lane is the one mobile game I legitimately recommend to anyone. Not just as a good mobile game, but to me it's genuinely a good game in general.
Please make this an ongoing series. You've barely scratched the surface of bad mobile ads.

Mobile ads are so ridiculously versatile. One day it's just gameplay, another day it's softcore hentai, other days it's just an entire 8 episode season of randomness and chaos.

I was part of "The actual game" dev group, where a guy got so pissed that the ads of mobile games were so misleading, that he made the game they were advertising but not offering. It was wild, what spite can do to people.
Amazing. Thank you for your service
What game is it, and how can I find it?
@@rayres1074 It's literally called "The Actual Game"
And I need to clarify, I wasn't a developer, I was part of the development group, a community where we all pitched ideas for the games, beta tested it, and sent the actual developer screenshots of the misleading ads to add those levels to his game.
I realized how I worded that was poorly.
@@alissacheck4194 i remember hearing about that game a number of weeks ago cool that someone decided to make 1 especially after memes (and the ads themselves) around mafia city, lilys garden, and raid shadow legends reached the levels of popularity that they did.
side note originally thought u were saying you were a developer for that game that was made in spite by another developer of one of the many mobile games with AI marketing teams but obviously not lol still cool that you helped with it though
This genre needs a name. There’s a large group of these mobile games that have almost identical ads with the same sound effects
Dont read my name!😑

Charlie should create his own ad for this channel, he has so many good examples now
Dont read my name!.
Good examples indeed.
why are the bots so bad on Charlie's videos? I never see this amount of spam on other channels
An Ad with Charlies voice would honestly be more entertaining than any ad right now
Danny Gonzalez and Critikal collab
The people who made Evony: The King’s Return need to be held for crimes against humanity. Seeing their ads drives me one step closer to insanity every time.
Have you seen the new evony ad where it's some dude with horribly dubbed audio talking about how he finally found the game with those stupid simple golden pin puzzles with lava and treasure and water and some monster and/or a damsel in distress? It's some truly splendid bull poop
@@mcfarvo omg yes the over dub is so bad 😂😂
Infinity Kingdom ads are almost as bad.
@@mcfarvo "damn I lost my treasure". Its so infuriating how they purposely fail the puzzles too 🤣
Ive reported their ads 20 times to no avail, only to get a brand new ad featuring that creepy dude who’s dubbed over
As someone with a crippling Hill Climb Racing 2 addiction, I can confidently say the death grunts in the Evony ads are the best piece of media to ever be recorded in advertising history.
i miss hill climb racing im gonna play that now
wassup i been watching your vids for a while
The “NO NO NO” simultaneously irks and amuses me

I'm surprised Charlie didn't also bring up the strange obsessions of mobile game ads with cheating and relationship affairs.
Omg!! My boyfriend is cheating on me! Do i..
> yell at him
> join them
@@alyzeaaa this sums up mobile ads pretty well, but you forgot "cheat on him as revange"
All media, including TV and movies, are obsessed with cheating and relationship affairs
Let's not even start about kiss of war ads
@@alyzeaaa yeah, that's pretty accurate.
But this doesn't highlight the ones that just steal footage from PC games, where you can see the mouse cursor.
The ads that drive me crazy are the ones where they're showing you gameplay and purposefully doing everything wrong.
I hate those with a passion.
@@k6592 indeed me too
They’re designed to make you go ‘that’s so wrong, I can do better’ hoping you’ll download the game to try and prove it, the worst part is is that it works - I almost fall for it every time
Evony: The King's Return, Hero Wars, and Puzzles & Survival are blatant examples of this. LOL.
@@Bronzos I always get evony ads all the time, now they have some random dude lip-syncing audio while 100 puzzles play in the bg
Whoever actually sits through these ads deserves my respect 😤
Thank you
One must be the most unstoppable being in the universe, having to endure so much pain
It's wild how these ads are so disconnected from what the actual game's gameplay even entails.
I understand that these games are nowhere mainstream enough to warrant a discussion around them, but the amount of ads for games where the ads are just not even connected to the gameplay is becoming a little too much now.
Hopefully a discussion does start around them to an extent where they investigate it and rule it to be false advertising because that's what it is
Agreed, the ads are trash, the games are worse, and nothing makes sense
Even reletilvly (can't write) good games have fall into this kind of adds
The fake ads aren’t just a little too much but way too much
now i'm getting ads that the guy says: don't you hate it when you can't find the game in the ad, well i found it!
My hypothesis is that all these ads are tailored to make you angry at it, where you witness a bad decision takenby the narrator just so you will "go and show them how it works". Or they hope you will want to see what happens. You find out the game is nothing like the ad, but at least you're already there, you just might play it...
I feel like mobile game ads should fall under false advertisement, as more times than not the ad ends up not being the actual gameplay
It's so awful, not to mention extremely suggestive ads that are clearly targeting children. Imagine if these ads aired on nickelodeon or something lol.
Problem is tho that 9 times out of 10 the feature mobile game in said ads are free to play so legally speaking nobody can really get them for that
Yes, there’s one ad I always get about escaping from a prison with zombies and the actual game is some birds eye view base building game. So lame
The Mafia City ads always look so good, but i heard the game itself is horribly bad. If it was like the ad i would most definitely play it.
i'd honestly try some games if they were like the ads
This is actually a genius advertising scheme. It worked so effectively that they got even more free advertising
Finally someone is talking about this I feel like I’m the only person who’s noticed how much worse and worse the ads get
Yes all hail Charlie
Game theory has a video on it as well I think
Yes out of the hundreds of millions of users you were the only one to have seen them and noticed they are weird
The ads shown here, although misleading, but they're just harmless and goofy. I wish Charlie or someone would talk about this one game (or maybe multiple but I've only seen one) that keeps making ads about sexually harassing women! It's just a freaking puzzle game and one ad of theirs even has a cliffhanger of a almost r*pe situation. It truly gets my blood boiling. I try to report the game every time one of their ads pop up to me, and luckily their ads stopped appearing to me. But I just can't forget them and I don't understand what kind of sexual predators was the game trying to cater to.
Wdym? Someone named Pyrocinical made a video like this like years ago.
These ads literally feel like watching a dream. An actual dream. Not really a fever dream, just a dream in general.
Clayton ruff huff

Charlie is just saying this because he has never seen the high quality ads for RAID: Shadow Legends, the best game on the planet.
"The best game" 🤢🤮
@@NetBattler satire
Some of these are actually really high effort, it's hard to believe that the studio who makes these ads also made this shitty game
Actually Charlie has done ads for raid
Raid ads are genuinely good, but yea the game itself is meh
I’ve been getting ads from a game called “Evertale”, that depict a Pokémon-esque creepypasta ARG, and what makes me so angry is that the ads look fantastic like it was something I actually wanted to exist, but “big surprise” it’s just another generic anime waifu rpg, I mean I could literally see it on the icon for the game placed on the ad, like c’mon nobody’s being fooled here.
I just don’t understand how they can make those ads and not think “wait… why don’t we just actually MAKE this, instead of our actual shitty unoriginal game?”
Then there’s those constant RoK ads where they advertise ONLY the Vikings faction and NOTHING ELSE. Every time an ad comes up I’m just like “Oh boy what’s the news on how great the Vikings are today?”
the ADs are actually social experiments. YES REALLY. they make fake game ads then they record data for how much attention they get. the ADs that get maximum attention from specific people (gambling addicts) are developed into real games. they literally make ads first then they make the game for the ads
@The Girl Who Asked it just reminds me of a shitty arg ripoff of pokemon and we already have enough to last a lifetime of those
@@ali32bit42 that’s a pretty massive claim, source?
I used to play the game before but quit because of how insanely sexual it became, and how desperate they want to bait weebs into the spending
@@repez2 bruh omori? Why 😭
I'd be lying if I said some of these ads don't get me invested in the lore of their universe. Like how did this man end up trapped in between a spike trap and lava? I need to know.
Dont read my name!😑
and then he goes “Yes!” and then then all his gold goes down into lava and the guy gets mauled by some bear looking ass with an axe

Other mobile game advertisement formats:
-actors claiming to be devs bowing and apologizing for some reason
-stupid simple puzzle game that is failed to bait dumb people thinking "I can solve that"
-some overly enthusiastic social media influencer acting like they are playing a game that is clearly fake/scripted gameplay while commenting about what they see happening
Don't forget promo codes with repeating number
XXX777
XXX888
As if they own by the same people just with different publisher or they all hiring the same sh!tty advertising company.
That first format, the bowing and apologizing applies in japanese culture in case you don't know.
@@PickleRicksFATASSCOUSIN im assuming they saw that commercial of a japanese company apologizing by bowing when they raised the price of their product (i think it was ice cream?)
Get me a five star, a five star please! I need (insert overhyped Ww2 German equipment here) aww, I only got a five star allied equivalent.
That second example is every ad for 'Puzzles & Survival.' It's so blatantly obvious how that ad's trying to manipulate people, because nobody's _that_ stupid! I've been suckered into downloading and installing a few pure Evony clones (yes, State of Survival, Chief Almighty, King of Avalon and War and Peace, I'm looking at all of you), but I'll give yet another Evony rip-off a chance before I even _think_ about installing Puzzles & Survival for the first time.

UNDERRATED COMMENT TBHH
Merge Mansion's ads though are on a whole new level- even going so far as having live-action scenes featuring legit actors, and a whole mysterious lore behind it. 😂
I did actually end up downloading it cuz the ads were so wild lol it does have a mystery to it but other than that it's just a simple matching game.
Is that the one where the woman inherits a dilapidated mansion, and there's a granny character who gets hauled off by the cops (I assume for killing the previous owner)? And when they do the pressing-their-hands-together-through-the-glass thing, the woman lifts her hand, and _Granny has "HE'S STILL ALIVE" or something written on her palm_ and she gives the woman an encouraging smirk as the car pulls out?
I bet my half coin it's from some hidden gem mystery movie
Or who knows
Yea and you know how the game is? It's shitty. Just another bejeweled ripoff
Definitely the best ads. Effort is put in, some are genuinely entertaining, and usually they show snippets of what I believe is the real gameplay.
I saw an ad with actual actors that was a woman sitting on a couch on her phone, then a man comes up behind her with a knife like he's going to stab her and is entranced by the game she's playing. the whole first scene happens in a second or two but they just gloss right over that shit like it never happened.
I quess theyre trying to be funny? Idk.. All media and ads seem to me like they were made for 5 year olds
And when they speak there lips are never the same things their saying, it’s like a dub of a dub
@@SamuelSaveli which is not even funny in the first place
All it accomplished was me going "wtf did I just see?!" And thinking about murder man for the entirety of the ad. Couldn't tell you what the ad was for.
i get those all the time. i got a similar one where a woman was about to hit a man with a frying pan, and then got intranced by the game
I saw an ad for one of those "choose your own adventure" story games, and it was based in a high school where a girl hid in a locker because she caught her dad and the male principle making out in the hallway. It then gave you the option to basically continuing hiding and watching them exchange saliva, or to out her dad to her mom about being gay and a cheater 💀

The worse version of these are the ones with actual people, they either push in line and just make the excuse they have a 5star character and they’re always saying something but it’s voiced over by someone else so it’s like watching an English dub of an English show
