Fun Fact about the K-Fee ads: When K-Fee released a less-caffeinated coffee, they created a series of ads similar to their infamous jumpscare ads, but with the jumpscares being intentionally much less scary. One even reuses the car driving footage, but instead ends with a regular guy popping up and saying Boo.

John 3:16-21 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. Mark 1.15 15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel. 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. Hebrews 11:6 6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Jesus
The “pets aren’t toys” commercial is actually highlighting a specific problem where many families adopt a pet without being ready for the actual responsibility of raising and caring for them. What’s going on is that the family gets tired of the puppy, especially after they pee and make messes (a common thing for an animal to do, especially in early life), and the man who puts the puppy in a bag and tosses them in a river is the patriarch of the family, getting rid of the puppy while the kids are asleep. This was, and may still be, a worryingly common way for people to dispose of unwanted animals back in the day. You may recall from a certain Tom and Jerry cartoon that there was a wet sack of kittens entering heaven, or (if I recall correctly) this being a way a character was attempting to get rid of kittens in the aristocats movie by Disney.
It reminds me of the British PSA where you see a dog and then a hand with a gun with the narrator saying "Give us a call, or we'll pull the trigger." with Nostalgia Critic comparing it to Canada with their infamous "Rape whistle" PSA.
@@CowboyLuigi It's genuinely worrying to me how many people resort to offing animals instead of just rehoming them when they are tired of them, even if they're a minority of people.
Fun Fact: because they couldn't viably prove their product worked, Head-On was not legally allowed to say that it could prevent or get rid of headaches. That's why the commercials only repeat "Head-On. Apply directly to the forehead." Edited; I originally said migraines but I meant headaches
i'm still salty over how they played us with the meta ass sequel series of people going ''i hate your ads but i love your product'' like oh you little ???? LMAO
@@bluishwolf Yeah that works if its advertised as a supplement, no idea if head-on wouldve been able to fall in that category though bc its not a pill? Someone who knows this better than i do please chime in lol
That story about the ‘ghost girl’ in the milk commercial is actually heartwarming! The director didn’t want the actress to miss out so he made a continuity error to include her :)
it's so wild the disparity between "horrifying graphic injuries shown on daytime television" and "the commercial started with two girls but ended with one girl!!! the set is haunted!!!"
I'd imagine part of it is to give some breathing room. It'd be pretty heavy if it was just back to back "This ad was filmed and someone died, and this ad had to be taken to court because of possible sexual abuse, and this ad was made by someone who uses animal death to market his product." Sometimes you gotta throw a little cheese and pepper in there to break things up.
i think its bc the graphic injuries are psas.... scary, but its expected. and theres not much to make up spoooooky ghost stories about. But a continuity error? ooooh ghostss!
The heartwarming mother-daughter commercial with martial law announcement in the background deserves a creepyasta. Like, I refuse to believe nobody made up a theory about this commercial having some kind of sublimal message or being part of some kind of ARG/analog horror.
Both my husband and my dad have sustained burns at a steel mill, my dad had to have a graft and my husband could have lost his eye due to hydraulic pressure that shouldn’t have existed plus some smaller burns here and there. I was 5 when my dad got sent to a burn unit and my mom only took us kids to visit once, I still remember the screams by the cafeteria lady who spilled boiling water in herself and the girl who got her hand stuff in an escalator railing (I’m terrified of escalators to the point my husband and son won’t even try to mess with me if I’m on one as it comes from trauma) I’m so sorry and I hope you have healed the best you can. My dads job put ice on his burns (this was over 35 years ago) and he went into shock at our local hospital and my mom had to drive him in a winter storm 2 hours away to a burn unit
Head-On's ads repeated their slogan three times because the FDA came down hard on them for their earlier commercials that claimed that Head-On cured headaches, which it couldn't, because it's just a stick of wax. The now-legendary commercials that simply say "apply to the forehead" without making any claims of efficacy are technically legal -- the best kind of legal.
I always thought it was menthol or something like Vapor Rub which _could_ help with tension headaches, but looking it up it was literally just wax with an insignificant amount of homeopathic bullshit. Crazy what they're allowed to sell.
There’s a marketing ploy of repeating something 3 times that makes it stick better into a persons memory (I can tell you the local radio station phone number despite never dialing it myself) and drug companies are notorious for it, plus silly jingles. Ozempic is a newer example.
@@YourFriendlyOnlineStrangerI like their print ads. They had a campaign called "the nightmare's nightmare" that was charming. It featured a bunch of scary characters in the style of fairytale illustrations reacting in fear after seeing a can of the product.
Fun fact, commercials are exempt from the TV Parental Guidelines, & also most other TV Rating systems, so you could start watching a very graphic commercial & you would never know
As a Brazilian, I can throw in a few bits of info: - About the sandal commercial with the little girls, that blond woman is no ordinary woman: she's Xuxa, who was extremely famous back then that--get this--the most popular children's TV presenter and singer. She was the most commercially successful female singer in Brazil at the time, and had been in romantic relationships with Pelé and Airton Senna. The commercial is supposed to look "cute", with the girls making porn movie vocalizations. That's the kind of stuff we found funny back in the 90's. I remember the ad running on TV, and I don't remember people complaining about it back then. It's been unearthed a couple of years ago, and the younger people were (rightfully) horrified. - The MTV Brasil vignette did indeed air at all times of the day, but back then, we thought it was just another ordinary avantgarde vignette. With the speed of the frames, it was *very* hard to discern what was going on, and I think people had to record it on VHS and freeze frame to see the pictures. I suppose the message is the conflict between spiritual enlightenment and carnal urges... maybe? No idea. The worst thing is that Brazil was going through a big hysteria about "subliminal messages" back then, so it was really bad timing for MTV. It didn't hurt the channel much, though, even though they closed down several years later.
Oh nice, another braziliam here! I remember seeing on a page about weird brazilian ads about another girls shoes ad by famous brazilian dancer Carla Perez that featured her twerking. Some ads here are wild.
Head On, apply directly to the forehead Head On, apply directly to the forehead Head On, apply directly to the forehead Head On, available at Walgreens
My dad had insider knowledge of puppy monkey baby and that it would happen, so he kept ominously saying "puppy monkey baby" before it dropped and we were all so confused. Well, when the commercial dropped... that confusion was not answered LOL
The fact that the woman on the drums for Bedding Barn KICKED the cymbal at the end is... ooh. That's class. Amazing move. So silly it loops back to being cool.
I doubt the commercials played any part in Little Baby's Ice Cream closing. That one ad was a huge meme around 2013-2014 and probably only made it more popular, exactly its purpose. Honestly, like half of these were memes back in the day without ever trying. Which led to that awful era where ads purposefully tried to become memes and failed horribly.
yeah afaik they had to close the doors because of covid issues, it was unfortunate and likely due to not having enough revenue to compete with the raising prices of, well, everything
At the end of the day, they were a small business in isolated parts of the US. No amount of popularity for those commercials is gonna provide enough funds to keep their business going. At best they were an expensive tourist sport in Philly
@@when-do-we-get-a-block-buttonNot true. they closed in November 2019, before Covid Pandemic, which started December 2019. The US didn't start quarantining until late winter/ early spring 2020.
27:31 it’s the fact poopies had a spin off line called rainbow high that abandoned all of the whole pooping aspect and made actual high quality fashion dolls….also poopies was made the company behind bratz😭
doll guy here- first it was the unicorns, then they had a line of large dolls with slime that had a poop gimmick (ex being a bag resembling a fanta that said 'farta'), these four dolls became characters in rainbow high, and this series became the official successor with no slime or poop, instead focusing on referencing fashion brands and celebrities (ex jade being very clearly based on billie eilish, skyler wearing offwhite, dia monte being a reference to rihanna, etc). unfortunately, now rainbow high is kinda falling back within the past year, with a soft rebrand of sorts bringing back the slime aspect (including stuff slime in the clothes), as well as the dolls quality generally dropping both in terms of articulation but also just their actual designs (also they replaced poppy in series one with amaya and that is Unforgivable) but hey, speaking of mga products in general, bratz is doin pretty good! if we ignore all the kylie jenner dolls still on shelves, we got the new core dolls for the main four, bratz baby repros, and slumber party repros with sasha! at least some of the girls are winning
Return of the King EDIT: Canadian here! They used to play that graphic Top Chef commercial on YTV (a kid's channel) like in the middle of the day! It was a real trip seeing that in between reruns of Medabots lmao
Can confirm. Canada has some unbelievably messed up PSA's as well as some incredibly wholesome ones. It is pure roulette when and where you will see them. You could see the burnt sous-chef directly after school during Spongebob or something, and the house hippo PSA during a rerun of Unsolved Mysteries at 9 pm.
YEEPPP I remember it on YTV too, crazy that there weren't complaints from parents nor has anyone that grew up with those ads ever reported being traumatised, but I guess you see it enough times, you just tune it out and wait for Pokemon or Spongbob to come back on.
I wrote the "Dirt Devil.- Exorcist" ad. Initially it was a spec, but Dirt Devil loved it so much, they actually commissioned it. BUT limited because of its intensiveness. Thanks for featuring it.
Always love your iceberg vids! I wish the Folgers “incest” commercial was included as it’s pretty iconic and has spawned interesting fanfic. Seems right up your alley
I can't believe I'm asking this but do you have a title? I googled "folgers commercial fanfic" and it has its own "fandom" category on AO3... there are *116* in total.
I remember seeing the male actor in that commercial on Criminal Minds and I was disappointed by myself for catching he was from the folgers incest commercial even though it seems like he has a pretty successful acting career. His name is Matthew Alan btw
fun fact i learned fairly recently is that the actor playing the sister is jeffrey combs's daughter, aka herbet west from the movie re-animator. i didn't expect my love of that bizarre commercial to be connected to one of my favorite movies but it also makes a bit of sense. or it doesn't. i'm jonathan frakes.
There's another pooping unicorn toy commercial that got the company sued for ripping off The Black-Eyed Peas' "My Humps." They retooled it into "My Poops" without getting permission.
I'm kind of surprised the infamous "Kendall Jenner solves police brutality with a can of Pepsi" ad (more formally known as the "Live for Now" ad on Wikipedia and NOT featuring Kylie Jenner as I first misremembered) wasn't on this list given how much backlash it got for being so tone-deaf. Great video, though! I kinda hope Joey makes another one of these in the future lol. Cursed commercials are the gift that keeps on giving.
She was also responsible for the stupid challenge where people have to make their lips big as hers, however this lead to major injuries after subsequent attempts. Ever wonder why Kendall Jenner like the Kardashians are entitled whores? Blame the latter's father for helping get OJ Simpson free despite being confirmed for being the perpetrator of a murder!
i used to work at a quiznos and every time we said anything about the pepper bar, we’d say it like the commercial. like we’d be like “hey i think we need more banana peppers on tHe PePpEr BaR”
The HeadOn commercials were the way they were because they were legally unable to claim the product did anything since it had no scientifically discernible effect.
Fun fact: 28:52 This Closing bumper ad was made, because of an Urban leyend, Between 2004-2007 TVN would do closing bumpers, but that urban leyend says in the middle of the night, the network would broadcast EAS alarms or something scary/eerie. This was made in 2017 as a prank for halloween
I'm surprised the iceberg didn't have the Wrigley's "dog breath" ad. It's an ad where a guy vomits out a live dog that then almost attacks him until he puts in a piece of gum and makes it disappear. It had to be pulled after they received 700+ complaints about it being too scary.
There was one ad for Eggos that creeped me out as a child where the kid basically morphed into a disgusting face when her brother tries to steal her waffles
There's a series of very infamous anti-drink driving ads from the UK and Ireland that have been airing for the last decade. They always end in the most gruesome way, with the most known one being the car that flattens a group of schoolkids without the camera cutting away. Still scares me to this day...
Yeah, that happened with fireworks PSAs when I was a kid. Really made me not want to even hold a sparkler, and thus it probably actually worked better than a soft approach. Safety begins and ends with all of us doing our best to act responsibly.
It might make me sound sick, but if we're thinking of the same ad I can't take the one with the group of school kids being run over seriously because of just how over the top and unsubtle it is
FUCKING LMAO THAT SHIT WAS HILARIOUS. Like absolutely nothing about it seemed real at all. What especially just sends me is when that one boy looks at the oncoming car like, "UH OH 😥" before it crashes on top of him and his classmates; that shit was straight out of some kind of slapstick comedy.
32:35 As a person who lives in columbia, SC, and I had to suffer this man's ungodly and shitty ads for almost 30 years of my short existence. you need to go through them all. you're missing out pure gold. his Jurassic Park ones are just wild
Poop toys were a weirdly big trend a few years ago which led to companies making "girls" poop toys like poopsies. It's wild and I would unironically love to see a poop toys iceberg.
Fun fact: the PlayStation "Mental Wealth" ad was made by Chris Cunningham, who also made Rubber Johnny and Aphex Twin's Come to Daddy video, which made way too much sense when I first learned this
Thanks for the trivia! I could definitely think this Scottish girl would belong in one of Aphex Twin's music videos, but the comparison is now made clear.
"Apply directly to forehead" : you can trigger any french person older than 35 by saying "Mercurochrome, le pansement des héros" or "Si Juvamine, c'est Juvabien" It's a 80/90's technique of simple exposition. Who worked (I still remember this) but had backlash.
The AARP one is the most unsettling to me because of the message playing on the TV, it’s so bizarre that that’s what they chose as any kind of audio, it almost feels like a weird conspiracy and subliminal messaging
about the kleenex song, it was a indie hit in uk in 1983. It's an acapella song called "It's a Fine Day", credited to a singer called Jane, and written by poet Edward Barton (her boyfriend then). It was made worldwide famous in 1992 though, in a dance music remix by the group Opus III. Skrillex's version is very similar to the last one.
it's crazy how many songs that simple vocal melody has inspired. the opus III song, the skrillex song, it even got chopped up in halcyon + on + on by orbital. and i love all of the songs.
"Everyone who worked on this commercial all eventually died." Well, I mean... that could be said for ANY old commercial. In the grand scheme of things, everyone has a finite amount of time on earth. That doesn't make a commercial cursed. "If it was "Everyone who worked on this commercial all eventually died in horrific, violent ways," then maybe I'd call it a curse.
Man, I've been a fan of your iceberg videos, starting with movies shouldn't exist to public television shows. These were my favourites iceberg videos on RUclips and hope you're doing well.
heeeey thanks so much for letting me help during streams Joey! This video was fantastic. Also omg the way I instantly got filled with such joy seeing bedding barn and little johns again. good times...
39:55 that's not just a "stylish man" that's a puppet version of the French president Jaques Chirac (or at least a modified version of it), this puppet was part of the political news show "Les guignols de l'info"
I notice that Little John's jewelry place is across the way from Churchill Downs. So when your horse loses, you can go make up the loss by selling gold jewelry.
Not only were those fucked up Canadian workplace safety commercials aired on TV, they were aired on children's TV I vividly remember seeing them in between commercial breaks watching Spongebob before school
13:22 the song in the video is called "its a fine day" by Edward Bartson. It was originally written about the end of WW2 and the wives of veterans who became widows, hoping for a better future. the full song is actually so eerily beautiful I recommend giving it a listen if you can.
WSIB. It stands for Workplace Safety Insurance Board, in Canada. I knew where the commercial would be going as soon as you introduced it. I've probably seen them on Canadian TV.
I believe the theory that Hitogata ad is just that one railroad scene from Serial Experiments Lain that people keep remembering wrong. There was a scene where a girl got hit by a train and we see her face change between smiling and screaming multiple times before the train hits her.
50:10 It was a railway commercial, but it wasn't every 2 second. It was something like every 20 minutes. I remember seeing it growing up, and it haunted me because I come from a railroader family going back generations, and I know a lot of stories of accidents and it was ingrained in me as a kid about railway safety.
@@sophthetoast1997 Oh don't get me started! Besides the humor in seeing all the toys there could be value/entertainment gained from watching the descent of these toys go from the motherhood training the pooping dolls of the 70's to the weird, sparkly, bright-colored fetishism of these pooping unicorns. There's a LOT to gleaned from a poop toy deep-dive, my fine friend!
I've been watching cursed commercial for years so this tier list is more of a "most known to hidden gems" but even then each tier has something I've haven't seen before!
There was an ad in the UK during the 2000s I think where a man wakes up and slowly vomits out wet dog. That growls him but after he takes a mint the dog disappears.
I don't live in the UK, but I just found the commercial you mentioned. Its Wrigleys: Dogbreath. It said it was pulled off the tv because it frightened parents children and making them sick.
Not many people bring this up when discussing the Quiznos ads, but the ‘Sponj Monkies’ weren’t made specifically for the ad, they originate in a viral internet video prior to the ads called ‘we love the moon’ (which is directly parodied in the ads) made by the indie animation collective, ‘RatherGood’, they are fairly well known for their tweened collage-like image manipulation animation techniques, a lot of their other animations are quite well known and they’ve done ads for other brands most notably the British milkshake brand ‘Crusha’ (I’m literally an idiot I’m so sorry he vry obviously brings it up in the vid, ignore me 😭)
the workplace safety ads were all brutal, but the one in this video is the worst imo, purely because the woman in the video sustains injury because of her co-workers. all the other ads were self-neglect leading to injury which you can avoid if you're cautious, hers was completely out of her control
Definitely plays part to my stress about a workplace environment, and I have anxiety disorder(aside from being autistic), so these ads really made me feel worse about kitchen duty. 😅 Also Canada is quite good at horror. Other examples include Are You Afraid of the Dark and Goosebumps, the Ginger Snaps trilogy, and the industrial artists Skinny Puppy and Zombie Girl.
@@masterseal0418There’s a War Amps commercial from the 80s/90s that used to air on YTV all the time with a robot who got their hand cut off, and the ad finished with like … “I can put my hand back. You can’t.” It fucked me *up* as a kid. Canadian commercials were messed up.
I remember getting the Daisy ad on RUclips for a few months. It always gave me the vibe of some creepy hippie cult like the one form Midsommer. Also, the soda commercial with the dog puppet is actually a deep cut reference to an old British tv show starting a similar puppet character, Muffin the Mule. I recognised it because I saw it in that one episode of Doctor who were they time travel to the queen’s coronation in the 1950s, playing on one of The old timey tvs in the background.
Here in germany, I remember a pretty sad ad around christmas time. An elderly man was sending out letters to his family, but they were about him dying. So his family appeared at his house to mourn, only to find him sitting there. I think the elderly man then said something like, "You wouldn't have come otherwise." It's been years since I've seen it, though.
The Skrillex song doesn't sample the Kleenex ad. It's a remix of 'It's a Fine Day' by Opus III, which is the melody that the female vocal is singing in the ad
fun fact at 42:59, the woman is called Xuxa. She used to have a really successful TV show aimed at children back in the 90s, so she's pretty much an icon for 90s/early 2000s children
Never heard of the Top Chef commercial, I'm glad I didn't see the uncensored version, I can't imagine what the hot liquid did to her...moving on...welcome back
I first saw the commerical on Nostalgia Critic's commercial specials. He shows a good bit but nothing too hardcore that i can remember. However i rrmember the "whistle" commercial and thr "dont you put it in your mouth" commercial in the same video. Darn canada 😂
I had seen a creepy ad that I can't find. It was an anti smoking ad and its kinda stop motion with a paper man going to a factory. He starts smoking one stick from a hand and then he starts smoking a circle of them by detaching his lower jaw. The commerical then asks "can you tell us why smoking isn't stupid?" And i remember the logo was a yellow y.
I absolutely adore how much effort you put into these - including yourself. That may sound disparaging but it's not. The best stuff on youtube is less about the content and more about how said content effects the person creating the video and their interpretation of it. So I'm so glad that you make yourself part of the experience. I watch your videos for the interesting trivia, but I stay for you.
The weirdest ads I remember was one of a baby doll that pooped out charms for a charm bracelet, one of the Irish safe cross code ads where a cartoon child had been hit by a car offscreen and now he was all injured, and I was shown a reupload of an ad of a giant belly bouncing through a city singing “belly’s gonna get you” but I didn’t come across that one organically. But the most disturbing one I’ve actually seen air was an ad for texting and driving where the car spun out and killed a bunch of small children. It aired in Ireland and if I remember correctly there was a series of ads but that was the worst one. Terrifying.
I'm pretty sure the same ad aired in England under the Think road safety campaign. Kid broke his leg by crossing the road on a blind corner, he's watching his friends play football from the other side of the road but he can't join in, it's heavily implied that he's on the 'other side' and actually died in the crash.
Fun fact, the dude who did the narration in the Little Baby's Ice Cream videos is the same voice actor who plays the narrator/ Isaac's Dad in the game The Binding Of Isaac.
The London Olympics thing is just a series of terrible decisions. To make a painting of a child serial killer with children's hands is bad enough, let alone put it in a museum. But to put it in the Olympics that's meant to represent your country? Why in the hell would you choose *that*, of all things, to inspire national pride? Whose idea was that? Why would anyone approve or think it's a good one?
We have a Bedding Barn here in Connecticut, and I never knew about this commercial until now. Now people can finally know about the wonders of this store in this commercial .
The song existed before the cursed Kleenex commercial, so Skrillex wasn't sampling the commercial, he was sampling from the Opus III 1992 cover of 'It's A Fine Day'. The commercial uses the OG a cappella recording from 83' by Jane, according to wiki. I remember hearing the Opus III version all the time on 90's compilation CD's.
For the Mr. Bucket commercial, it gained notoriety because of AVGN doing a video in his "Board James" series about it, which went viral back in the day. And I imagine the "put your balls in my mouth" thing came from that as well. In the video, AVGN bought one of those Mr. Buckets and used it in a skit where the bucket came to life and tried to force AVGN's balls in his mouth. That's probably why its on this iceberg, especially so low on it, as the commercial itself isn't really all that dirty.
Um actually, Board James and AVGN are two different characters in the Cinamassacre extended universe. As seen in a crossover episode between the two with board games based on video games.
@@MrMeow-dk2tx I am aware of that. It's just easier to get the message across with saying AVGN than James Rolfe or Cinemassacre which may not be immediately apparent of who that is if you're not into his stuff already.
@averagewhiteguy2 Makes sense, also kinda sad Board James seems dead now. Was, a very fun take on Board Game stuff at times! Strange storylines though lol, at times like lower budget twin peaks

The “pets aren’t toys” commercial is actually highlighting a specific problem where many families adopt a pet without being ready for the actual responsibility of raising and caring for them. What’s going on is that the family gets tired of the puppy, especially after they pee and make messes (a common thing for an animal to do, especially in early life), and the man who puts the puppy in a bag and tosses them in a river is the patriarch of the family, getting rid of the puppy while the kids are asleep.
This was, and may still be, a worryingly common way for people to dispose of unwanted animals back in the day. You may recall from a certain Tom and Jerry cartoon that there was a wet sack of kittens entering heaven, or (if I recall correctly) this being a way a character was attempting to get rid of kittens in the aristocats movie by Disney.
I found out about that ad a long time ago due to TV Tropes and it left me feeling really depressed and disturbed for a long time
the worst part about that method is that it takes way less effort to just let them loose in a field somewhere
It reminds me of the British PSA where you see a dog and then a hand with a gun with the narrator saying "Give us a call, or we'll pull the trigger." with Nostalgia Critic comparing it to Canada with their infamous "Rape whistle" PSA.
@@CowboyLuigi It's genuinely worrying to me how many people resort to offing animals instead of just rehoming them when they are tired of them, even if they're a minority of people.

Fun Fact: because they couldn't viably prove their product worked, Head-On was not legally allowed to say that it could prevent or get rid of headaches. That's why the commercials only repeat "Head-On. Apply directly to the forehead."
Edited; I originally said migraines but I meant headaches
I think I remember a commercial that said it was for headaches. But then this one that was just weird.
i'm still salty over how they played us with the meta ass sequel series of people going ''i hate your ads but i love your product'' like oh you little ???? LMAO
All you have to do is say, "these statements were not evaluated by the food and drug administration," or something like that and you are safe legally.
@@bluishwolf Yeah that works if its advertised as a supplement, no idea if head-on wouldve been able to fall in that category though bc its not a pill? Someone who knows this better than i do please chime in lol
This spawned "FacePalm, apply directly to the face." which to me is funnier than the commercial for HeadOn.
It's been a while since I typed that.
That story about the ‘ghost girl’ in the milk commercial is actually heartwarming! The director didn’t want the actress to miss out so he made a continuity error to include her :)
it's so wild the disparity between "horrifying graphic injuries shown on daytime television" and "the commercial started with two girls but ended with one girl!!! the set is haunted!!!"
I'd imagine part of it is to give some breathing room. It'd be pretty heavy if it was just back to back "This ad was filmed and someone died, and this ad had to be taken to court because of possible sexual abuse, and this ad was made by someone who uses animal death to market his product."
Sometimes you gotta throw a little cheese and pepper in there to break things up.
i think its bc the graphic injuries are psas.... scary, but its expected. and theres not much to make up spoooooky ghost stories about. But a continuity error? ooooh ghostss!
not to say those types of commerials aren't absolutely horrifying- i remember seeing top chef commerial for the first time and I was really scared LOL
The heartwarming mother-daughter commercial with martial law announcement in the background deserves a creepyasta. Like, I refuse to believe nobody made up a theory about this commercial having some kind of sublimal message or being part of some kind of ARG/analog horror.
realll like how is there not at least one obscure creepypasta about it. or maybe there is idk lol
nothing stopping us, fellas
It's used as evidence for the "predictive programming" conspiracy

Both my husband and my dad have sustained burns at a steel mill, my dad had to have a graft and my husband could have lost his eye due to hydraulic pressure that shouldn’t have existed plus some smaller burns here and there. I was 5 when my dad got sent to a burn unit and my mom only took us kids to visit once, I still remember the screams by the cafeteria lady who spilled boiling water in herself and the girl who got her hand stuff in an escalator railing (I’m terrified of escalators to the point my husband and son won’t even try to mess with me if I’m on one as it comes from trauma) I’m so sorry and I hope you have healed the best you can. My dads job put ice on his burns (this was over 35 years ago) and he went into shock at our local hospital and my mom had to drive him in a winter storm 2 hours away to a burn unit
To add to the Kleenex myth, I'm pretty sure everyone involved with every ad is eventually going to die at some point
Not unless one of them becomes immortal
Not with that attitude
Head-On's ads repeated their slogan three times because the FDA came down hard on them for their earlier commercials that claimed that Head-On cured headaches, which it couldn't, because it's just a stick of wax. The now-legendary commercials that simply say "apply to the forehead" without making any claims of efficacy are technically legal -- the best kind of legal.
I always thought it was menthol or something like Vapor Rub which _could_ help with tension headaches, but looking it up it was literally just wax with an insignificant amount of homeopathic bullshit. Crazy what they're allowed to sell.
There’s a marketing ploy of repeating something 3 times that makes it stick better into a persons memory (I can tell you the local radio station phone number despite never dialing it myself) and drug companies are notorious for it, plus silly jingles. Ozempic is a newer example.
That was the only commercial I've seen
That decade was nothing but insanity inducing memetic cognito hazards.

I like the K-Fee Lite commercial for their reduced caffeine drink. Redid the original with a tounge in cheek, mild "jumpscare".
Kind of diabolical it had radio ads that played when people were driving, through.
@@YourFriendlyOnlineStrangerI like their print ads. They had a campaign called "the nightmare's nightmare" that was charming. It featured a bunch of scary characters in the style of fairytale illustrations reacting in fear after seeing a can of the product.
I agree
"Let the disease change its name" is such a raw thing to say.
i bet corona beer felt the same for the first few months but luckily for them most people know it as covid now
Honestly the one where the guy breaks into the woman's house and offers her a halls cough drop when she tries to scream is hilarious to me-
Fun fact, commercials are exempt from the TV Parental Guidelines, & also most other TV Rating systems, so you could start watching a very graphic commercial & you would never know
Considering that spongebob Burger King commercial I'm not surprised
That explains why there’s always at least one disturbing horror movie ad during the Super Bowl
“Lost his life in another aviation accident on September 11th”
😬
Pure irony
RIGHT like i gasped
Oof
As a Brazilian, I can throw in a few bits of info:
- About the sandal commercial with the little girls, that blond woman is no ordinary woman: she's Xuxa, who was extremely famous back then that--get this--the most popular children's TV presenter and singer. She was the most commercially successful female singer in Brazil at the time, and had been in romantic relationships with Pelé and Airton Senna. The commercial is supposed to look "cute", with the girls making porn movie vocalizations. That's the kind of stuff we found funny back in the 90's. I remember the ad running on TV, and I don't remember people complaining about it back then. It's been unearthed a couple of years ago, and the younger people were (rightfully) horrified.
- The MTV Brasil vignette did indeed air at all times of the day, but back then, we thought it was just another ordinary avantgarde vignette. With the speed of the frames, it was *very* hard to discern what was going on, and I think people had to record it on VHS and freeze frame to see the pictures. I suppose the message is the conflict between spiritual enlightenment and carnal urges... maybe? No idea. The worst thing is that Brazil was going through a big hysteria about "subliminal messages" back then, so it was really bad timing for MTV. It didn't hurt the channel much, though, even though they closed down several years later.
Oh nice, another braziliam here!
I remember seeing on a page about weird brazilian ads about another girls shoes ad by famous brazilian dancer Carla Perez that featured her twerking. Some ads here are wild.

My dad had insider knowledge of puppy monkey baby and that it would happen, so he kept ominously saying "puppy monkey baby" before it dropped and we were all so confused. Well, when the commercial dropped... that confusion was not answered LOL
makes it sound like puppy monkey baby was his own telltale heart thumping underneath the floorboards.
The fact that the woman on the drums for Bedding Barn KICKED the cymbal at the end is... ooh. That's class. Amazing move. So silly it loops back to being cool.
"That all changed with the next commercial: Top Chef."
_Oh no._
I doubt the commercials played any part in Little Baby's Ice Cream closing. That one ad was a huge meme around 2013-2014 and probably only made it more popular, exactly its purpose.
Honestly, like half of these were memes back in the day without ever trying. Which led to that awful era where ads purposefully tried to become memes and failed horribly.
yeah afaik they had to close the doors because of covid issues, it was unfortunate and likely due to not having enough revenue to compete with the raising prices of, well, everything
At the end of the day, they were a small business in isolated parts of the US. No amount of popularity for those commercials is gonna provide enough funds to keep their business going. At best they were an expensive tourist sport in Philly
@@when-do-we-get-a-block-buttonNot true. they closed in November 2019, before Covid Pandemic, which started December 2019. The US didn't start quarantining until late winter/ early spring 2020.
I'm surprised it closed
The commercials certainly didn't put me in the mood for ice cream. Maybe that's why they failed.
27:31 it’s the fact poopies had a spin off line called rainbow high that abandoned all of the whole pooping aspect and made actual high quality fashion dolls….also poopies was made the company behind bratz😭
Wow you weren't lying
doll guy here- first it was the unicorns, then they had a line of large dolls with slime that had a poop gimmick (ex being a bag resembling a fanta that said 'farta'), these four dolls became characters in rainbow high, and this series became the official successor with no slime or poop, instead focusing on referencing fashion brands and celebrities (ex jade being very clearly based on billie eilish, skyler wearing offwhite, dia monte being a reference to rihanna, etc). unfortunately, now rainbow high is kinda falling back within the past year, with a soft rebrand of sorts bringing back the slime aspect (including stuff slime in the clothes), as well as the dolls quality generally dropping both in terms of articulation but also just their actual designs (also they replaced poppy in series one with amaya and that is Unforgivable)
but hey, speaking of mga products in general, bratz is doin pretty good! if we ignore all the kylie jenner dolls still on shelves, we got the new core dolls for the main four, bratz baby repros, and slumber party repros with sasha! at least some of the girls are winning
i never would have guessed rainbow high came from those horrific pooping unicorn babies.
Wait Rainbow High was a Poopies spin off??

EDIT: Canadian here! They used to play that graphic Top Chef commercial on YTV (a kid's channel) like in the middle of the day! It was a real trip seeing that in between reruns of Medabots lmao
I had to watch those for a work safety class at NBCC a couple years ago. Still scary to me today
Can confirm. Canada has some unbelievably messed up PSA's as well as some incredibly wholesome ones. It is pure roulette when and where you will see them. You could see the burnt sous-chef directly after school during Spongebob or something, and the house hippo PSA during a rerun of Unsolved Mysteries at 9 pm.
@@siximpossiblethings6388 Never forget the house hippo
YEEPPP I remember it on YTV too, crazy that there weren't complaints from parents nor has anyone that grew up with those ads ever reported being traumatised, but I guess you see it enough times, you just tune it out and wait for Pokemon or Spongbob to come back on.
@@Blakbox92 I watched YTV and never remember any PSAs like this

Today I learned that AXE body spray goes by different name in other countries because I thought I jumped timeline after hearing "Lynx" 😅
yeah, same here. I remember seeing this ad here in Europe too.
For real. I remembered the chocolate man ad as being from AXE, but I never knew that there were international rebrands with different names.
Yeah, I was like: What is that? I remember Axe and Tag body sprays being popular in high school back in the day. LOL
Axe? You mean lynx?
Nah I'm joking ha ha
I wrote the "Dirt Devil.- Exorcist" ad. Initially it was a spec, but Dirt Devil loved it so much, they actually commissioned it. BUT limited because of its intensiveness. Thanks for featuring it.
Always love your iceberg vids! I wish the Folgers “incest” commercial was included as it’s pretty iconic and has spawned interesting fanfic. Seems right up your alley
I can't believe I'm asking this but do you have a title? I googled "folgers commercial fanfic" and it has its own "fandom" category on AO3... there are *116* in total.
I remember seeing the male actor in that commercial on Criminal Minds and I was disappointed by myself for catching he was from the folgers incest commercial even though it seems like he has a pretty successful acting career. His name is Matthew Alan btw
As someone who hadnt heard of this ad before this comment, what a crazy crazy thing to read LMAO
The Folgers _what_ commercial? Holy cats. I guess I missed that one. It's a big leap from wholesome, neighborly Mrs. Olsen to incest.
fun fact i learned fairly recently is that the actor playing the sister is jeffrey combs's daughter, aka herbet west from the movie re-animator. i didn't expect my love of that bizarre commercial to be connected to one of my favorite movies but it also makes a bit of sense. or it doesn't. i'm jonathan frakes.
There's another pooping unicorn toy commercial that got the company sued for ripping off The Black-Eyed Peas' "My Humps." They retooled it into "My Poops" without getting permission.
They got sued for it. Also the scat fetish toy gained notoriety on MoistCritikal's channel, which lead to the iconic meme you recognize.
I'm kind of surprised the infamous "Kendall Jenner solves police brutality with a can of Pepsi" ad (more formally known as the "Live for Now" ad on Wikipedia and NOT featuring Kylie Jenner as I first misremembered) wasn't on this list given how much backlash it got for being so tone-deaf. Great video, though! I kinda hope Joey makes another one of these in the future lol. Cursed commercials are the gift that keeps on giving.
That was Kendall Jenner
I'm pretty sure that was an SNL sketch
She was also responsible for the stupid challenge where people have to make their lips big as hers, however this lead to major injuries after subsequent attempts. Ever wonder why Kendall Jenner like the Kardashians are entitled whores? Blame the latter's father for helping get OJ Simpson free despite being confirmed for being the perpetrator of a murder!

I was wondering about that one. Isn't that a shot from Lights Out? How did it end up in a Chilean network bumper?
I'm surprised the iceberg didn't have the Wrigley's "dog breath" ad. It's an ad where a guy vomits out a live dog that then almost attacks him until he puts in a piece of gum and makes it disappear. It had to be pulled after they received 700+ complaints about it being too scary.
There was one ad for Eggos that creeped me out as a child where the kid basically morphed into a disgusting face when her brother tries to steal her waffles

There's a series of very infamous anti-drink driving ads from the UK and Ireland that have been airing for the last decade.
They always end in the most gruesome way, with the most known one being the car that flattens a group of schoolkids without the camera cutting away.
Still scares me to this day...
Yeah, that happened with fireworks PSAs when I was a kid. Really made me not want to even hold a sparkler, and thus it probably actually worked better than a soft approach. Safety begins and ends with all of us doing our best to act responsibly.
I remember seeing one of those on RUclips, it featured a kid (or woman) singing Sweet Child O' Mine
I saw that on RUclips years ago and had nightmares about it. I thought I dreamed it up for the longest time
It might make me sound sick, but if we're thinking of the same ad I can't take the one with the group of school kids being run over seriously because of just how over the top and unsubtle it is
FUCKING LMAO THAT SHIT WAS HILARIOUS. Like absolutely nothing about it seemed real at all. What especially just sends me is when that one boy looks at the oncoming car like, "UH OH 😥" before it crashes on top of him and his classmates; that shit was straight out of some kind of slapstick comedy.

"Apply directly to forehead" : you can trigger any french person older than 35 by saying "Mercurochrome, le pansement des héros" or "Si Juvamine, c'est Juvabien"
It's a 80/90's technique of simple exposition. Who worked (I still remember this) but had backlash.
The AARP one is the most unsettling to me because of the message playing on the TV, it’s so bizarre that that’s what they chose as any kind of audio, it almost feels like a weird conspiracy and subliminal messaging
about the kleenex song, it was a indie hit in uk in 1983. It's an acapella song called "It's a Fine Day", credited to a singer called Jane, and written by poet Edward Barton (her boyfriend then). It was made worldwide famous in 1992 though, in a dance music remix by the group Opus III. Skrillex's version is very similar to the last one.
it's crazy how many songs that simple vocal melody has inspired. the opus III song, the skrillex song, it even got chopped up in halcyon + on + on by orbital. and i love all of the songs.
Then was sampled into the beautiful Orbital Track Halycon
I remember the front woman was a bald girl.

And didn’t she use those Chinese metal chime ball things? They were quite popular for a time in the 90s, I had a set.
"Everyone who worked on this commercial all eventually died."
Well, I mean... that could be said for ANY old commercial. In the grand scheme of things, everyone has a finite amount of time on earth. That doesn't make a commercial cursed.
"If it was "Everyone who worked on this commercial all eventually died in horrific, violent ways," then maybe I'd call it a curse.
Man, I've been a fan of your iceberg videos, starting with movies shouldn't exist to public television shows. These were my favourites iceberg videos on RUclips and hope you're doing well.

39:55 that's not just a "stylish man" that's a puppet version of the French president Jaques Chirac (or at least a modified version of it), this puppet was part of the political news show "Les guignols de l'info"
I notice that Little John's jewelry place is across the way from Churchill Downs. So when your horse loses, you can go make up the loss by selling gold jewelry.
Not only were those fucked up Canadian workplace safety commercials aired on TV, they were aired on children's TV
I vividly remember seeing them in between commercial breaks watching Spongebob before school
I hope you take care of yourself in between making these because they are absolutely quality.
I saw the first frame of the sous chef ad and felt my blood run cold. Nostalgia Critic taught me well
lol i remember that episode back when Doug was much more entertaining and animated.
Love the part of this video where you're gently trying to feed your homunculus.
13:22 the song in the video is called "its a fine day" by Edward Bartson. It was originally written about the end of WW2 and the wives of veterans who became widows, hoping for a better future. the full song is actually so eerily beautiful I recommend giving it a listen if you can.
*Miss Jane
WSIB. It stands for Workplace Safety Insurance Board, in Canada. I knew where the commercial would be going as soon as you introduced it. I've probably seen them on Canadian TV.
I believe the theory that Hitogata ad is just that one railroad scene from Serial Experiments Lain that people keep remembering wrong. There was a scene where a girl got hit by a train and we see her face change between smiling and screaming multiple times before the train hits her.
50:10 It was a railway commercial, but it wasn't every 2 second. It was something like every 20 minutes. I remember seeing it growing up, and it haunted me because I come from a railroader family going back generations, and I know a lot of stories of accidents and it was ingrained in me as a kid about railway safety.

@@sophthetoast1997 Oh don't get me started! Besides the humor in seeing all the toys there could be value/entertainment gained from watching the descent of these toys go from the motherhood training the pooping dolls of the 70's to the weird, sparkly, bright-colored fetishism of these pooping unicorns. There's a LOT to gleaned from a poop toy deep-dive, my fine friend!
@BABeier indeed, it is an interesting shift from "baby doll that needs it's diaper changed" to "mythical creature that makes nickelodeon slime"
I've been watching cursed commercial for years so this tier list is more of a "most known to hidden gems" but even then each tier has something I've haven't seen before!
There was an ad in the UK during the 2000s I think where a man wakes up and slowly vomits out wet dog. That growls him but after he takes a mint the dog disappears.
I don't live in the UK, but I just found the commercial you mentioned. Its Wrigleys: Dogbreath. It said it was pulled off the tv because it frightened parents children and making them sick.
"everyone who worked on this all eventually died"
Yeah, I think that's how it usually works
Not many people bring this up when discussing the Quiznos ads, but the ‘Sponj Monkies’ weren’t made specifically for the ad, they originate in a viral internet video prior to the ads called ‘we love the moon’ (which is directly parodied in the ads) made by the indie animation collective, ‘RatherGood’, they are fairly well known for their tweened collage-like image manipulation animation techniques, a lot of their other animations are quite well known and they’ve done ads for other brands most notably the British milkshake brand ‘Crusha’

Edit: rip, it’s not there, maybe next time
IM DIGGER, THE DERMATOPHYTE
the workplace safety ads were all brutal, but the one in this video is the worst imo, purely because the woman in the video sustains injury because of her co-workers. all the other ads were self-neglect leading to injury which you can avoid if you're cautious, hers was completely out of her control
Definitely plays part to my stress about a workplace environment, and I have anxiety disorder(aside from being autistic), so these ads really made me feel worse about kitchen duty. 😅
Also Canada is quite good at horror. Other examples include Are You Afraid of the Dark and Goosebumps, the Ginger Snaps trilogy, and the industrial artists Skinny Puppy and Zombie Girl.
@@masterseal0418There’s a War Amps commercial from the 80s/90s that used to air on YTV all the time with a robot who got their hand cut off, and the ad finished with like … “I can put my hand back. You can’t.”
It fucked me *up* as a kid. Canadian commercials were messed up.
I remember getting the Daisy ad on RUclips for a few months. It always gave me the vibe of some creepy hippie cult like the one form Midsommer.
Also, the soda commercial with the dog puppet is actually a deep cut reference to an old British tv show starting a similar puppet character, Muffin the Mule. I recognised it because I saw it in that one episode of Doctor who were they time travel to the queen’s coronation in the 1950s, playing on one of The old timey tvs in the background.
I am so glad I am not alone on that, I forgot all about that weird ass ad until I saw it on this video.
The Daisy ad is so weird why are we still trying to sell perfume via a medium that activates every sense EXCEPT smell
The time TV! They saw the Beatles too.
Here in germany, I remember a pretty sad ad around christmas time. An elderly man was sending out letters to his family, but they were about him dying. So his family appeared at his house to mourn, only to find him sitting there. I think the elderly man then said something like, "You wouldn't have come otherwise."
It's been years since I've seen it, though.
The reaction clips are PERFECT for iceberg content!!! Definitely keep it up
sweet i'm glad you liked it thanks for watching!
The Skrillex song doesn't sample the Kleenex ad. It's a remix of 'It's a Fine Day' by Opus III, which is the melody that the female vocal is singing in the ad
No. It’s by Miss Jane.
26:26 hey it's the ad responsible for the Moist Critical meme
fun fact at 42:59, the woman is called Xuxa. She used to have a really successful TV show aimed at children back in the 90s, so she's pretty much an icon for 90s/early 2000s children
That is until the fire incident. Ouch...
Never heard of the Top Chef commercial, I'm glad I didn't see the uncensored version, I can't imagine what the hot liquid did to her...moving on...welcome back
Unfortunately I have seen it, trust me, whatever you're thinking it's like, it's worse, imagine Freddy Krueger's face but during the fire

He starts smoking one stick from a hand and then he starts smoking a circle of them by detaching his lower jaw. The commerical then asks "can you tell us why smoking isn't stupid?" And i remember the logo was a yellow y.
I absolutely adore how much effort you put into these - including yourself.
That may sound disparaging but it's not. The best stuff on youtube is less about the content and more about how said content effects the person creating the video and their interpretation of it.
So I'm so glad that you make yourself part of the experience. I watch your videos for the interesting trivia, but I stay for you.
I really appreciate this comment, thank you for writing it and thank you for watching!
Little Baby’s Ice Cream’s ice cream guy is actually the narrator from The Binding of Isaac and frontman of Ridiculon
Never would've guessed TBoI was somehow related.
The stupid conspiracy theory ones, due to some tiny thing in the back, are such a waste of time lol
Right? I hope someone makes a commercial making fun of that because of how stupid it is.
The weirdest ads I remember was one of a baby doll that pooped out charms for a charm bracelet, one of the Irish safe cross code ads where a cartoon child had been hit by a car offscreen and now he was all injured, and I was shown a reupload of an ad of a giant belly bouncing through a city singing “belly’s gonna get you” but I didn’t come across that one organically.
But the most disturbing one I’ve actually seen air was an ad for texting and driving where the car spun out and killed a bunch of small children. It aired in Ireland and if I remember correctly there was a series of ads but that was the worst one. Terrifying.
I'm pretty sure the same ad aired in England under the Think road safety campaign. Kid broke his leg by crossing the road on a blind corner, he's watching his friends play football from the other side of the road but he can't join in, it's heavily implied that he's on the 'other side' and actually died in the crash.
something about joey is really relatable and like chill idk what but it makes watching something like this comfortable (especially since im sick)
Nobody: "I sure would like to see a snowman Cillian Murphy eating his own brains on TV."
Little Baby's Ice Cream: "Say no more."
For every cool or neat commercial there is 10,000 raid shadow legends
Fun fact, the dude who did the narration in the Little Baby's Ice Cream videos is the same voice actor who plays the narrator/ Isaac's Dad in the game The Binding Of Isaac.
Sorry for planting the seed of "Toys That Poop", Jowey...
Ah yes, the video that led to the infamous Penguinz0 meme.
The London Olympics thing is just a series of terrible decisions. To make a painting of a child serial killer with children's hands is bad enough, let alone put it in a museum. But to put it in the Olympics that's meant to represent your country? Why in the hell would you choose *that*, of all things, to inspire national pride? Whose idea was that? Why would anyone approve or think it's a good one?
Easy, Outside of an unhealthy obsession with fighting France, England has no national pride that is their own.
Sad to see no inclusion of Crusha or the ad where the mouse has intercourse with the Gameboy Micro.
i didnt expect the daisy ad to be on here lol. i can see why maybe a child would be kinda weirded out by it but man i just find it annoying lol

We have a Bedding Barn here in Connecticut, and I never knew about this commercial until now. Now people can finally know about the wonders of this store in this commercial .
Wait what I didn't know that?!
Joey: If you watch the Kleenex commercial, you will die in 7 days.
Also Joey: *still shows the commercial to thousands of people*
man the wsib ads go INSANE, canada has some crazy PSAs even the health canada vaping/SA awareness ads are eery as fuck
I miss those commercial livestreams. Most fun had on a livestream!!!😂
6:51 I watched this series of ads for my OSHA 10 course in my construction class. it's really stuck with me.
Joey your energy radiates throughout the years. Still the Joey I remember, you give me joy.
The song existed before the cursed Kleenex commercial, so Skrillex wasn't sampling the commercial, he was sampling from the Opus III 1992 cover of 'It's A Fine Day'. The commercial uses the OG a cappella recording from 83' by Jane, according to wiki. I remember hearing the Opus III version all the time on 90's compilation CD's.
For the Mr. Bucket commercial, it gained notoriety because of AVGN doing a video in his "Board James" series about it, which went viral back in the day. And I imagine the "put your balls in my mouth" thing came from that as well. In the video, AVGN bought one of those Mr. Buckets and used it in a skit where the bucket came to life and tried to force AVGN's balls in his mouth. That's probably why its on this iceberg, especially so low on it, as the commercial itself isn't really all that dirty.
Um actually, Board James and AVGN are two different characters in the Cinamassacre extended universe. As seen in a crossover episode between the two with board games based on video games.
@@MrMeow-dk2tx I am aware of that. It's just easier to get the message across with saying AVGN than James Rolfe or Cinemassacre which may not be immediately apparent of who that is if you're not into his stuff already.
@averagewhiteguy2 Makes sense, also kinda sad Board James seems dead now. Was, a very fun take on Board Game stuff at times! Strange storylines though lol, at times like lower budget twin peaks
The ones with the laughing babies and the girl on the bike and the jumpscares made me scream. I'm such a chicken 😭
