Ads That LIE To Us

They tried that balance band crap on me at the mall once. They didn't know I'm a Nurse. We are taught points of balance to safely transfer patients. I turned the tables on them in front of a crowd and gave a demo myself. Needless to say they weren't there the next day.😂😂😂😂

It's honestly shocking and extremely disappointing that companies are able to get away with this crap. If I do any of this as a private citizen, then I'm going to jail for fraud. But do it through a corporation and it's just called being a savvy business man. Now that's some shit.

The thing that really gets me is when mobile game ads deliberately show the wrong choices being made to possibly annoy people into thinking they could do better.

It always amazes me how few people have made use of the sold adage of “if it sounds too good to be true it probably is”. I’ve gotten a lot of mileage from that old saying over the years and likely been spared a lot of grief.

Mr. Crabs as Facebook saying "hello! I like money!" Was funnier than it should have been!

The key phrase in any BS sales pitch is "What if I told you." If you hear it, move on.

A girl I went to school with has done modeling ads for Levi's, and right after that a company asked to hire her for their weight loss supplement. She is maybe 110 pounds soaking wet. They said they didn't want her to ACTUALLY use the product, just claim she lost weight from it. She said no.

I literally uninstalled all my Homescapes games when they started playing those stupid ads. Haven't even thought about reinstalling any of them.

Advertisements have always be based on a lie, you can trace that back all the way when people where told that radium had health benefits

I really love this. It's important to show kids the truth now days. I'm going to show this to a little girl who believes everything on the internet.

I'm 62. I remember there being a law against false advertising, and I remember hearing that it was later abolished, allowing these completely bogus ads

There was an ad two years ago for a Christmas tree that comes quite flat and you push’s remote and the tree rises up to 6’ tall and the branches spread evenly around the tree. It came with lights and a little train that went around the tree. I was so impressed I bought one for my daughter for Christmas as their tree was done and told her she could open it before Christmas so they could display it. What I got was a small bag that just had af few branches in it… enough to make a very bare 5 inch tree. There was a small pkg. of LED lights ( 10 lights on it) and a few time decorations you can get in the dollar store. It’s a good thing we have a sense of humour and just burst out laughing at what I got but I paid $99.00 for something that immediately went in the garbage. I wrote them but of course never heard a word back. I have ordered bras for the mature woman it 1 get two free and only 1 bra came and I swear it was so tiny it didn’t even fit my ten year old granddaughter. It ended up being another lesson learned and more money down the drain.

You know what takes the humor here to the final level for me? The ads that are coming on periodically during this video for me! XD

The blackhead remover cream is advertised on YouTube all the time. I must have seen it a thousand times

Ah, yes. The infamous Ads. The ones that pop up left and right, in front of your face and make you CRINGE DOWN TO THE DEPTHS OF YOUR SOUL by basically saying u can't do anything without them

Back in the 1980s, I did some modeling for a famous hair brand. What I found most confusing/disturbing was that the stylists used all sorts of products, not necessarily from the brand advertised. For example, they did a treatment on my hair that made it SUPER soft and shiny, but only for about a week. Worked great for the photos. But if anyone saw my pictures, would they assume the only products used were that brand? I think so. And refused any more work from the agency that booked me.

That mafia city game actually got me, it was the first time I thought I’d try a mobile game only to realize it’s that piece of shit so I deleted it instantly.

I was watching a product review done by a regular husband and wife duo on the "blackhead remover". Was very funny as they pulled a bit of a prank by stopping the video and going to the kitchen to sprinkle some dark fennel seeds on their faces. Ofc, they laughed and revealed the hoax they had pulled. Everyone had a great laugh and that was that. About a month later that ad popped up and as it showed random people using the product...and low and behold one of the pop up "satisfied customers" pictures were literally the SAME couple that had debunked the product 😄 😆 😀 🤣...that's down right sneaky!

I actually witnessed one of these infomercials being filmed. It was for that weight loss body patch and I got to see everything they were lying about and nobody believed me.

The thing that gets me about the Homescape ads is that it wouldn't be THAT hard to make the game in the ads, compared to the game they already make.
