13 Cringeworthy Ads Trying To Disguise Themselves As Memes
Companies will try everything to gain appreciation from our generation. They need to advertise their products one way or another, and sometimes they'll come up with some pretty horrible ways to do it. Mainly, we're talking about memes. And 99% of the time, memes shouldn't be used in advertising.
Most companies have no idea how to properly use a meme, and even if they do understand it, they usually do such a bad job of it that it's like looking at some questionable propaganda. From cringeworthy Twitter advertisements to pretending to read off the IP addresses of people who call them out for their bad memes, these companies shouldn't be allowed to make memes about their products. Take a look at some of the most awkward ads ever found.

Five Nights at Freddy's already has some very cringeworthy memes, but this one's way worse than we were expecting. Freddy wants the Starbucks syrup, apparently.

We don't know what's going on with the KFC Twitter account lately. But this use of the new meme Megamind peeking is probably the worst use of it we've ever seen.
