A diapers commercial featuring babies with, ahem, explosive diarrhea has landed the not-so-coveted spot of Worst US TV Commercial of 2011.

The advertisement in question features cartoonish babies apparently taking part in the "Heavy Dooty Championship". The babies appear in succession on-stage before a panel of three baby "judges", proceeding to turn their asses to the camera and, evidently, balloon their diapers to enormous sizes with their *ahem* "dooty". The Consumerist, the company sponsoring the competition, jokingly referred to the ad as "Poop There It Is", in reference to the commercial's use of Tag Team's 1990's hit "Whoomp There It Is".

I've seen this commercial a few times before, and I agree that it's among the worst I've ever seen. It's just so absolutely revolting to watch. Whoever bought any Luvs diapers after seeing this must either have really good memory filters or don't know a bad commercial from a good one.

Maybe I'm just a tad cynical (ok, I probably am), but as bad (and annoying) as that one is, I don't see how that's much worse than 99.9% of other commercials. They're all just terrible. What happened to the funny ones? What happened to creativity? What happened to commercials that even makes sense?

I could go an a pretty big rage-out rant on this topic, but instead I'll just add this. Best commercial I've seen in a long time-

Of course because it is good you rarely see it, just a few times and then it disappears forever. Meanwhile, some of the worst commercials out there play at least once, every break for months on end...

Thank you. That was also in my mind for quite a while. Personally, i've seen much worse commercials than this.

I'm getting pretty tired of those Swiffer ads where the people dress up as dirt and mud and are looking for love.
