Worst advertising

Many things about this made me chuckle today.

Perhaps most of all....How many tradies wear suspenders these days!

What's your favorite "bad ad"

    Also, who would use Knipex style pliers that way, with two hands… and in such a way as to damage the chrome finish? He should be smoking a cigar to complete the image. 😉

    I like the suspenders and shirt. All he needs is a matching bow tie. He should talk to @EdTheHeaterMan for apparel accessory advice.

    That just screams Europe.

    But two hands on KniPex? And it looks like between two fixed points.

    The way his thumbs are hooked over the plier handles makes me think he is a pencil pusher. Its probably the first time in his life he has picked up pliers or maybe the first time he has seen any,.

    His outfit is perfectly color coordinated, suspenders, shirt, pants and hat.

    His sleeves rolled up perfectly to suggest a manly appearance

    No hard hat, safety glasses or gloves though

    Agree, the chrome press connections are the give-away.

    I use them.

    I think the typical plumber jokes would suggest 90% of plumbers should be wearing them.

    Its an AI generated picture, they don't always get the hands right, thus the weird thumb.

    @Kaos

    AI generated in this day and age? LOL no doubt.

    It will certainly appeal to those who just don't know.

    You're right.

    I don't know how I missed the thumbs like that. The thumbs are literally part of the tool.

    They're kind of behind the handles, but kind of not…..

    I'm gonna suggest the "belt AND suspenders" approach. Maybe add a cigar? And a dirt-smudge on the cheek.

    also the water filter that appears to be connected to a panel radiator.
