The MOST OFFENSIVE ADVERTISEMENT in Super Bowl HISTORY | SalesGenie (Super Bowl XLII)

If Just For Feet had the worst commercial in Super Bowl history, SalesGenie might be number two. Because at Super Bowl XLII, the company thought it was a good idea to show an advertisement involving pandas talking with fake Chinese accents so bad that there was outrage immediately afterwards, as the ad aired once and then never again due to its offensive and racist material. This is the breakdown behind that ad

Yep, Ling-Ling was a very well-known panda to those who followed the news in the 1970s. The loan of a Chinese panda to the US National Zoo was considered a diplomatic overture at the time, so that panda was on nearly every newscast for months, it seemed like. That's got to be the primary reason why the yahoo who wrote the ad copy used the name. That doesn't change the fact that it's a racist stereotype being portrayed, no matter what name you use.

[@patrickracer43]

That SalesGenie ad for Colts vs Bears was the advertisement equivalent of mid, also doesn't really help that Super Bowl tons of people missed the first half of the game because some parts of the country was buried in a blizzard that knocked out power for a couple days and some didn't get power back until the third quarter opening kickoff and that bold onside kick from the Colts (this is legit what happened to me in my hometown of Wildwood, NJ, my house legit got power back as the Colts and Bears lined up for the kickoff)

It was a caricature of Asians *and* a white-savior narrative. Another prominent banned Super Bowl ad was the Holiday Inn school reunion one, where a beautiful woman is approached by a guy who finally recognizes her as..."Bob? Bob Johnson?!" Unlike SalesGenie, I found that one genuinely funny, especially in the '90s when it aired. But it didn't fly then and definitely wouldn't fly today. (Also, the guy who recognizes "Bob"? None other than Mr. Kenny Bania. I suspect the ad was actually banned because it didn't contain a funny word like "puke," or have a joke about Ovaltine.)
