Hey mate, how\u2019s it going?<\/p>\n

Hope you\u2019ve had a good week\u2026<\/p>\n

(And making a s!*t load of money, of course!)<\/p>\n

The NativeAdBuzz office has been busy as ever, and with lots new changes rolling out across the site it\u2019s likely we\u2019ll be sacrificing sleep for a good few months!<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve recently made it easier than ever to manage quick searches in Native Ad Buzz and analyse the results with\u00a0the new quick search bar and slick navigation menu.<\/p>\n

So it\u2019s time for this week\u2019s top 5 ads, and we\u2019re going down a different route today.<\/p>\n

Some call us nasty\u2026<\/p>\n

Others applaud our honesty\u2026<\/p>\n

We just think we\u2019re being funny \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

That\u2019s because\u2026 drum roll\u2026<\/p>\n

We\u2019re going to be looking at the ugliest ads of PEOPLE from the last week.<\/p>\n

Yep\u2026 that\u2019s right\u2026<\/p>\n

In our huge <\/em>database of native ads, we\u2019ve picked out the least-flattering, most-hideous, cringe-worthy images of actual people that made us want to throw our lunch up\u2026<\/p>\n

And we\u2019re putting them right in from of you. Here. Right now!<\/p>\n

So, let\u2019s get started\u2026<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

  1. Wat McDonald\u2019s Medewerker in Local Area Deed Voor \u20ac469,669 Is te Ongeloofiijk!<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \"Screenshot_7\"<\/p>\n

    Take 10 points if you managed to figure out the meaning of that headline.<\/p>\n

    Part English, part (we think) German, it\u2019s certainly an odd way to market\u2026<\/p>\n

    But hey, we\u2019re not here to critique the copywriting.<\/p>\n

    We\u2019re here to look at HIM!<\/p>\n

    In one of the weirdest photos seen in the NativeAdBuzz database, it seems like this guy is\u2026 sat inside a fast-food machine?!<\/p>\n

    We\u2019re putting our money on the deep-fat-fryer.<\/p>\n

    That\u2019s the only explanation for that\u2026 haircut\u2026 right?<\/p>\n

    In a perfect example of someone you wouldn\u2019t <\/em>want to \u2018introduce to the family\u2019, this young lad scored a modest 2\/5 on our \u2018Hatred of Humans Just By Looking At Them\u2019 scale\u2026<\/p>\n

    (Although we\u2019re sure he\u2019s actually a really nice guy in real life!<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

      \n
    1. The Bank Accounts Of These Preachers Will Shock You<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      \"Screenshot_9\"<\/p>\n

      So, what exactly is going to shock us so bad???<\/p>\n

      Surely it can\u2019t be as bad as the first minute we were unfortunate to lay eyes on this scrawny, \u2018frat-haircut\u2019 dude.<\/p>\n

      What looks to be a cross between an Italian kiss expressing his love for the food, and a gesture to pull a hair out his mouth, this guy takes spot number 2, just because it\u2019s a really annoying image.<\/p>\n

      (We\u2019d also quite like to find out what\u2019s so shocking in his bank account \u2013 do you know?)<\/p>\n

      Unsurprisingly this ad has seen ZERO success in the market, and we\u2019re putting our money on it staying this way\u2026<\/p>\n

      But we\u2019ve been wrong before!<\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

      1. Netherlands Most Powerful People Trying To Ban This Video<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        \"Screenshot_10\"<\/p>\n

        OK, let\u2019s run through possible situations of why <\/em>this video is being \u2018banned\u2019.<\/p>\n

        Hell\u2019s Angel biker caught fondling a rival gang\u2019s pin up girl?<\/p>\n

        Convicted sex-offender free to pry on (seemingly willing) female hottie?<\/p>\n

        Married family man with the wife away for the week?<\/p>\n

        ALL of the above would be more than feasible to tie in with the image above\u2026<\/p>\n

        But if YOU want to know why the Netherland\u2019s most powerful people are trying to ban the video, you better go check it out for yourself!<\/p>\n

        This guy\u2019s got a pretty likeable smile (and a sikkkk tattoo bro!), but he makes it to spot #3 just for the shades. I mean come onnnnnnn\u2026<\/p>\n

         <\/p>\n

          \n
        1. 40 Years Later: You Will Never Believe How \u2018The Brady Bunch\u2019 Look Now<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          \"Screenshot_11\"<\/p>\n

          If you\u2019ve ever had the unfortunate experience of being with a \u2018serial complainer\u2019 at a restaurant\u2026 you\u2019ll probably recognize the woman on the right.<\/p>\n

          And you KNOW what I mean\u2026<\/p>\n

          The type who\u2019ll cause a fuss when there\u2019s a single strand of delicious mozzarella cheese out of place.<\/p>\n

          The type who lost their sense of humour back in 1978.<\/p>\n

          Anyway, this ad makes spot #4 because the woman bears a lot of resemblance to our \u2018complaining avatar\u2019\u2026<\/p>\n

          And the grumpy face, the untidy hair, and the devil-looking eyes make this a high contender for the scariest woman ever seen on the Internet!<\/p>\n

           <\/p>\n

            \n
          1. 10 Celebrities Who Were Hideous When They Were Babies<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            \"Screenshot_12\"<\/p>\n

            Yes\u2026 we went there\u2026<\/p>\n

            We had <\/em>to include an ugly kid.<\/p>\n

            (Although we\u2019re not 100% sure this image isn\u2019t photoshopped)<\/p>\n

            Quite how a child is born looking like that will forever remain a mystery, but if you ever have the unfortunate experience of coming across this ad during your Internet browsing, know that there\u2019s dedicated counselling available\u00a0 – just Google \u2018PTSD help\u2019 and you\u2019ll find all the help you need.<\/p>\n

            Alright\u2026 not to mock mental illness (because it\u2019s not funny at all), but this image DID make the NativeAdBuzz office laugh\u2026<\/p>\n

            And while we\u2019re not sure we\u2019ll ever want to see a baby this ugly again, the more you look at it, the more you can\u2019t take your eyes off (her?).<\/p>\n

            So there you go\u2026<\/p>\n

            This week\u2019s (ugliest) top 5.<\/p>\n

            Let me know what you thought?!<\/p>\n

            And feel free to email back with any contenders you think should be on our next \u2018ugliest\u2019 list!<\/p>\n

            Back to the NativeAdBuzz office now for more work \u2013 fun fun fun!<\/p>\n
