No matter your preference on a specific company or product, while we may disagree, I think we can all agree when an advertisement is done right; or wrong for that matter. With that in mind, we may just have for you the worst product advertisement in history.
The ad in question was released and aired in Iceland by Samsung. It features over all the same marketing gimmick they are known for – attacking Apple. Though in this ad, however, we're not sure if that's in reference to the company or the fruit (kidding).
A man, after a few typing and calling gestures on a fruit, shortly becomes frustrated when he realizes he's wasted his time. Switch scenes and he's smiling with a Galaxy S4 in his hands. What happens next is, well, pretty weird; I'll let you decide:
The description reads “Get a phone that gets you” with the over all message being “S4 understands icelandic”. This refers to Apple's Siri not being able to understand the language while the Galaxy S4 can, apparently – which is the whole point of this ad. With all the cool features the Galaxy S4 brings with it, surely there's something better to brag about.
Maybe we're just missing some sort of cultural references, but either way, this is one of the weirdest ads you've ever seen, right?
