  • If Just For Feet had the worst commercial in Super Bowl history, SalesGenie might be number two. Because at Super Bowl XLII, the company thought it was a good idea to show an advertisement involving pandas talking with fake Chinese accents so bad that there was outrage immediately afterwards, as the ad aired once and then never again due to its offensive and racist material. This is the breakdown behind that ad

      Yep, Ling-Ling was a very well-known panda to those who followed the news in the 1970s. The loan of a Chinese panda to the US National Zoo was considered a diplomatic overture at the time, so that panda was on nearly every newscast for months, it seemed like. That's got to be the primary reason why the yahoo who wrote the ad copy used the name. That doesn't change the fact that it's a racist stereotype being portrayed, no matter what name you use.

    I remember seeing this and I was in complete disbelief at the time. What got me wasn't just the accents of the pandas--it was that the other panda who "saved the day" by telling the other two about SalesGenie just happened to speak in a perfect standard American accent. It was a caricature of Asians *and* a white-savior narrative.
    Another prominent banned Super Bowl ad was the Holiday Inn school reunion one, where a beautiful woman is approached by a guy who finally recognizes her as..."Bob? Bob Johnson?!" Unlike SalesGenie, I found that one genuinely funny, especially in the '90s when it aired. But it didn't fly then and definitely wouldn't fly today. (Also, the guy who recognizes "Bob"? None other than Mr. Kenny Bania. I suspect the ad was actually banned because it didn't contain a funny word like "puke," or have a joke about Ovaltine.)

    The names of the pandas were the least of my concerns with this ad. That was bad and it just got worse. I'm shocked Fox even accepted it to air during the game. If my ad agency pitched this to me, they'd be fired on the spot.

    Maybe, MAYBE if this ad run during Super Bowl I it would be understandable with some of the universal racist tropes against Asians and Asian-Americans fresh off some of our wars in that part of the world (WWII, Korea, Vietnam which was ongoing at the time). For that to have happened only 15 years ago is amazing. This was the one Super Bowl that I attended in person, so looks like I didn't miss out on much as compared to the at home experience!
    Clearly, the ad would have done much better if the pandas did nothing but spike the ball into the ground for 30 seconds straight.

    Hoo boy do I remember cringing when I saw this commercial. Though I think you may have to do a video on Nationwide's infamous "dead boy" commercial from Super Bowl XLIX.

    Can you imagine an alternate universe where the "Just for feet" super bowl ad was well received and kept returning every year for every super bowl. Along with promotions like the Olympics where the Kenyan runner gets a world record by being chased by those hunters, the world cup in South Africa and even cross overs with movies like District 9 and Black Panther. Then it all finally stops because of the 2020 George Floyd protests? With Super Bowl LV having the Kenyan runner and the hunters making peace as a final send off of a legendary ad run?

    China sees it as a good will mission or w/e, since there would be no pandas in U.S. or Canadian zoos, without borrowing some from China.
