19 Cringeworthy Corporate Memes Attempting To Connect With Today's Youth

In a dramatic attempt to capture the business and hearts of modern youth, businesses and corporations will attempt to mix memes into their advertising strategies. The biggest issue with this is that generally the people on the advertising teams are older than the demographic that they're trying to advertise towards. This creates a strange disconnect that results in the ads being extremely cringeworthy. By the time a meme makes it to mainstream media and eventually into ads, the meme itself is long gone in popularity. No one cares about it anymore. Instead of being funny and cool, the ad is just bad and makes you feel kind of sorry for whoever on the marketing team made it.
