I swear that sometimes the banned ads are better than some of the actual ads that are shown. Go Daddy has made it a running joke in their ads about how hard it is to get one of their ads through. That being said, here are some ads what where turned down this year:
Go Daddy
Doritos
ManCrunch (this is the gay ad you’ve heard about)
This last one is from 2008, but it is super funny (and maybe even PG rated)
What do you think of these ads?
Funny. How come most of these commercials were like “man to man” concept?

Call me cynical, but I’m beginning to suspect that getting banned is part of a marketing strategy. It always sends pageviews on GoDaddy’s site skyrocketing the day after the Super Bowl. The only thing that surprises me is that less-edgy companies such as Frito Lay are jumping on the tactic.

Oh I’m sure it is. It’s free advertising for those companies whose ad gets rejected.

It’s all about getting their name out there, so whether it is banned or not is going to get the company money.
