7 Worst TV Commercials Of The 2014 World Cup [VIDEO]

While watching World Cup games, we’ve had plenty of World Cup TV commercials burned into our retinas after repeated viewing. Some of them have been great (here’s our top 10 best World Cup commercials). But not all of them have been that lucky or good.

Sometimes advertisers miss their mark and end up with some pretty bad commercials that might actually do the opposite of what they intend.

So here’s our top 7 worst World Cup TV commercials from Brazil 2014:

This advertisement for TV’s in the UK is just awkward from beginning to end. Pro tip, gentlemen: Don’t try this at home.

Hooters tried, we think, to get in on the soccer craze in America but missed the mark by a mile. John Gruden attempting to say football in some sort of hispanic accent just isn’t very good or funny.

Charmin’s “Everyone loves a great finish” commercial isn’t very accurate and is also semi-uncomfortable.
