7 Ads Targeting Millennials That Just Don't Get It

Nothing feels more out of touch than an advertisement targeting millennials that was clearly written by a bunch of old men. "What do young people like? I've seen a Twitter!" These 7 ads are so cringe-worthy, we're embarrassed on behalf of the ad execs who created them. 

Hasn't Dunkin' Donuts served breakfast all day since like, forever? Isn't that kind of their business model? But now that it's "#BreakfastWhenevs," youths of the world are supposed to rejoice.

Um, is that a twerking sheepdog and a hockey trophy doing the pony? This feels like a dad's fever dream of what teenage boys do in suburban basements.

REPEAT OFFENDER! Yet another example of Mountain Dew pandering to its target demographic: annoying douchebags. This is almost as bad as the Head On commercial, if the Head On commercial was trying suuuper hard to go viral. 

This ad screams, "I've never talked to anyone under the age of 30 but I have watched TV on an airplane."

Overheard in McD's think tank: "Let's take the song from MTV's first-ever music video and play it behind this ad. Millenials love emojis, right?!" Lol, McDonalds! Yr revolutionizing the ad game fer sher.

This lady in a cardigan is getting "turnt"? She only learned these words because she showed up drunk to her 14-year-old's birthday party and tried to make out with her daughter's crush.

Again, Hefty? I get that you're targeting #PartyHardMoms who clean up after their teens, but this mom won't be taking out the trash. She just got an IUD and she's ready to put it to work.
