2000s Commercials That Have Aged Horribly

Originally uploaded by Microsoft Sam on YouTube. Unfortunately, his channel was terminated so I decided to reupload it. It’s here on Rumble because I don’t trust YouTube with sensitive content. These commercials from the 2000s include:

- Evening Stars on Stage at the Twin Towers (An ad for a dance performance that was cancelled due to issues with the venue.)
- Blockbuster Total Access (Blockbuster mocking the company that would eventually put them out of business)
- PSA about violence featuring Danny Masterson (Danny Masterson committed sexual violence against multiple women)
- George W. Bush campaign ad: "A Fresh Start" (Bush went on to leave the White House without much "dignity" left with a 71% disapproval rating amid a massive recession and two unpopular wars)
- JetBlue: "Free DirecTV on Every Flight" (JetBlue had to stop offering DirecTV on flights (kidding, maybe)) (In reality, the commercial had a JetBlue plane flying perilously close to the Twin Towers)
- Proactive: "P. Diddy" (Diddy now has much bigger problems than acne)
- Little Bill promo with Bill Cosby (Bill Cosby went on to do things unbecoming of a Nick Jr. spokesperson)
- Snickers: "Donkey and elephant on shoulders" (The 2000 election ended up having a snafu that kept people "waiting a while" for the results)
- Budweiser: "Nsync talk about drinking responsibly" (NSYNC frontman Justin Timberlake was arrested for DUI in 2024)
- Unforgivable by Sean John: "P. Diddy" (Diddy has been caught doing things that some might deem "unforgivable")
- R. Kelly Double Up album (R. Kelly (Mr. "Age aint nothing but a number") is serving prison time for sexual abuse charges - "Sixteen years" is the average age of his abuse victims.)
- SNICK promo (The All That castmembers testified in the "Quiet on Set" documentary that the On Air Dares were incredibly traumatic, and were planned by Dan Schneider)
- All That Know Your Stars segment: Pickle Boy ("Pickle Boy" is Brian Peck, who went to jail for sexually abusing Drake Bell)
- Subway: "Muppets Most Wanted" (Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy are fawning over Jared Fogle, a convicted pedophile)
