15 Truly Bad Corporate Memes From Reddit's 'Fellow Kids'

Combining memes and advertising is never a good idea. In fact, it's pretty counterproductive. Companies often think they are earning points with teens when they include references their generation will understand. It's rare for a company to effectively market through memes, though they try so hard that we can't help but feel a little bad for them. However, a lot of the time it's done so horribly wrong that we can't even tell what we're looking at, and if we can tell, we wish we didn't have eyes.

Sometimes, we wonder if these people still have jobs, and how they got hired in the first place, because it's pretty clear that the target audience is not loving these social media posts. Clearly, each person doing this was not aware of what youth culture even is, and quite frankly if this is all they could come up with, they won't ever learn. These are some of the most awkward, cringeworthy and just all-around bad attempts at appealing to internet humor through memes.
