Two failed memes in advertising in the following collection.

12 Cringeworthy Times Advertisements Mistreated Popular Memes

Memes are often seen as the most effective way to relate to the younger generation. But if you're not one of the kids yourself, you're probably doing it wrong. These companies, teachers, churches and more certainly did. From dead memes to memes that are now dead since they've been used in this manner, these things just weren't funny at all, and honestly they're super cringeworthy. Now, you can take a look at some of the worst meme-themed humor you've ever seen, because some company out there really wanted you to see it and figured you'd buy their product because of it (honestly this will probably steer you far away from anything they're advertising, though).

Were the following memes effective? Decide for yourself as you peruse some of the more memorable new examples from Reddit's /r/FellowKids, where every adult reminds us of that picture of Steve Buscemi holding a skateboard and wearing his hat backwards in the hopes of relating to the kids around him."
