Brands have long harnessed the power of celebrity to sell their wares, no matter what those products may be. While usually the tactic of employing famous faces to sell goods goes over like gangbusters, every once in a while the brands take big swings, which result in even bigger misses.
From extremely insensitive ads in poor taste that happen to be for snack foods, to luxury watch endorsements gone wrong, many of the celebrities on this list deeply regret hitching their star to companies with poorly thought out commercial campaigns. Others still managed to sneak by with lucrative overseas Proctor & Gamble laundry detergent campaigns or made great money from hawking yogurt or adult diapers.
