Description

Top 10 Times ONE TV Commercial DESTROYED a Company Explained Like You're 5. The commercial was unforgettable. The company didn't survive it. A beer was killed by cartoon pitchmen so beloved that newspapers printed the ad schedule. A toy company ran so many commercials it legally lost the name of its own product. Apple followed the greatest ad of all time with one so insulting it helped push Steve Jobs out the door. And the most famous line in TV history — "I've fallen and I can't get up" — bankrupted the company that aired it. Ten commercials that made history... and unmade the companies behind them.
