    For those of you who can dare stand the horror... I present Johnny Turbo. Perhaps the most pathetic example of advertising I've seen.

    Oh my ****ing god. That was disturbing.

    I hate almost all commercials, so I won't bother posting any examples.

      That Johnny Turbo is completely classic. I don't know how I could have gone through my life not knowing about it. Thank you Snowfire.

          I'm ready for that damn oven mitt from Arby's to die a horrible death. He may be flame-retardant but that just means you have to use a hotter flame.

              Wow, that Johnny Turbo thing is indeed a classic!

              And the text is as insane as the comics...

              I watched you fall. I think I pushed.

                Here I was thinking I was the only one who enjoyed "Yo! Noid!" for the NES. You are truly a well-cultured individual Orange.

                  In Mandarin, Kou means mouth. Le is a gramatical word which you put at the end of certain sentences. These words were chosen because they sound phonetically like coka cola. In china, when they get new western words, a lot of times they take chinese words which sound alike but have a different meaning and put them together.

                    I find it disturbing that my tag line is featured by the evil guys getting punched.

                    But at least they aren't using my name to cheer Johnny Turbo, right rah?

                    ACK!

                      I was about to point that out, Tube. When I saw the "ack!" and "rah!" I thought "mmm, this smells like photoshop work..."

                        Johnny Turbo was the best set of ads ever. The rest don't even compare!

                              The American slogan for Salem cigarettes, "Salem - Feeling Free," got translated in the Japanese market into "When smoking Salem, you feel so refreshed that your mind seems to be free and empty."
