Nothing says your business is out of touch like a commercial that claims to represent the heart and soul of a product — but really exposes bad taste and backward thinking. Take this holiday season’s jaw-droppingly bad Peloton ad, in which a very thin woman gleefully receives the stationary bike for Christmas from her husband.

She documents a grueling year, slaving away on the bike, then plays the video compilation for her smug husband, tearfully claiming, “A year ago, I didn’t realize how much this would change me.” (Note: She looks the same as she did a year before, except perhaps more teary-eyed and exhausted). The added bonus, presumably, is an even more slender wife for what appears to be a creepily controlling husband, as critics observed.

Things reached even weirder heights this past week, when the actor who plays the husband in the ad — and who publicly complained about being shamed for it — gave his own girlfriend a Peloton bike for Christmas.

While Peloton claims its customers “loved” the video, the company’s stock dropped more than 9 percent afterward, erasing $942 million from its market value, according to Business Insider.

But Peloton’s spot is just one of many commercials that have come out of Madison Avenue advertising agencies’ notorious boys’ clubs. Here, a sampling of the most racist, misogynistic and backward commercials from the last 10 years — most of which were immediately pulled from airwaves but, due to the magic of the internet, live on indefinitely.

Dove, 2017

Jaws dropped when Dove debuted a three-second Facebook advertisement in which an African-American woman removed her shirt and magically transformed into a white woman. Critics decried that it was reminiscent of racist soap ads from the last century that showed black people scrubbing their skin to become white. Dove removed the clip almost immediately and apologized, saying the post had “missed the mark in representing women of color thoughtfully.”

Hyundai, 2014

Apparently, owning a Hyundai can save the environment and your life. “Pipe Job” opens with a suicidal man sitting inside his garage-parked Hyundai, with the engine running and a hose connected to the exhaust pipe, funneling toxic fumes into the automobile. But — huzzah! — the hapless man is inadvertently saved when a chiron claiming “the new ix35 with 100 percent water emissions” is revealed on the screen. Naturally, the man opens his garage door and walks dejectedly back into his house to live, presumably, another day.

Pepsi, 2017

“Live For Now” is a tone-deaf take on the Black Lives Matter movement that stars Kendall Jenner defusing tensions … with a carbonated beverage. Throughout the two-and-a-half minute video, ethnically diverse groups take to the streets with signs — “Join the Conversation,” “Peace” — and protesting, well, something. It’s never quite made clear what they’re upset about. But when the protestors face off against a row of white policemen, Jenner saves the day! She bravely steps out of her modeling shoot, whips off her blonde wig and lipstick, and strides boldly up to a cop with a Pepsi. He smiles, the crowd cheers, problems are erased, and the world gagged.

Pepsi apologized almost immediately for the ad and took it down.

Gillette, 2019

The shaving giant tried to get in on the #MeToo movement with their “We Believe” ad. Featuring a diverse cast of men trying to behave better and beat back stereotypes, the ad may have passed muster with some viewers, but many said it suggested that Gillette believed its customers to be boorish blokes — and that the company was hypocritical. Social media and women’s groups pointed out that the company’s female-centric product lines cost more than the exact same goods for men.

PopChips, 2012

In a supremely ill-advised take on Mike Myers’ 2008 movie “The Guru,” Ashton Kutcher got dolled up in brown face, a satin sparkly top and matching pants as Raj, a “Bollywood producer.” He then proceeded to dance badly and speak in a sing-song voice about his (imaginary) love life. Someone, somewhere thought this was hilarious and greenlit the video — which was roundly proclaimed racist and almost immediately pulled from the airwaves.

Burger King, 2012

This ad about the fast food chain’s chicken snack wraps caused a collective stomachache. In it, a white customer asks a white manager, “What’s in the new chicken snack wrap?” as Mary J. Blige magically appears to soulfully sing the benefits of crispy chicken, perpetuating stereotypes about African-Americans and fried chicken. After the spot was pilloried, Burger King yanked it and apologized to Blige, who claimed she didn’t know how the commercial would be edited and told Hot 97’s Angie Martinez: “I would never just bust out singing about chicken and chicken wings.”

Groupon, 2011

Yet another chapter in cultural insensitivity, this SuperBowl commercial stars Timothy Hutton seemingly making a sincere plea for the plight of the Tibetan people — which, bizarrely, turns into a Groupon ad promoting a deal on fish curry. Accused of marginalizing an already marginalized culture, Groupon later apologized.

Heineken, 2018

No wonder Chance the Rapper called this commercial out as “terribly racist.” In the 30-second disaster, a bartender slides a beer past three African-Americans to a light-skinned woman as a tagline reads: “Sometimes, lighter is better.”

Summers Eve, 2011

This is just one of a series of videos in which an ethnically diverse group of talking hands — stand-ins for vaginas — discuss their care in racially stereotypical clichés and voices, including a Latina hand-gina screaming “Ai-yi-yi!” The ads were later pulled.

Carls Junior, 2015

A repeat offender of objectifying women, Carl’s Jr. has been giving us soft burger-porn for years, but its 2015 Super Bowl spot was extra special: It featured a naked, busty woman proclaiming “I love going all natural” as she struts her buff stuff through a farmer’s market.
