You knew a Shaun White ad would feature somewhere in this list didn’t you? After all, the man has probably made more out of endorsements than any other action sports star alive, so he’s bound to have dropped the ball a few times right?
Well yes, but actually far less often that you might have thought. We watched several of Shaun’s ads while researching this article and were actually pleasantly surprised.
The HP ad below might talk about his MySpace page (remember those?) but it was released in 2006, when Lily Allen was the hot new thing for having one.
And anyway none other than Jay-Z made a near-identical advert at the same time.
But although Shaun’s avoided the worst pitfalls of mainstream endorsements there, the ad above deserves its inclusion just for being witless.
I mean c’mon, surely there’s a more innovative way to use your celebrity star than just as a driver at the end?
Stride and Shaun did go on to make this quite entertaining one later though, so maybe we’ll let him off? Then again, maybe not.
