In honour of Black Friday, we thought we’d take a trip down memory lane and have a quick glance at ten of the most embarrassing paychecks these artists have ever earned. Glorious commercialism! We’ll leave it to you to decide whether these commercials are more embarrassing for the artists, or the companies.
K-Fed for Nationwide Insurance
If you want an insurance company that will kick a man while he’s down, Nationwide is for you!
MC Hammer for KFC

Mary J Blige for Burger King
FAST FOOD INDUSTRY, HAVE YOU LEARNED NOTHING?
Johnny Rotten for Country Life Butter
God, save his toast.
Joey Fatone for Phantom Fireworks
“What does it pay? Free fireworks for life, and a hot lunch? Sign me up.”
Iggy Pop for Swiftcover Insurance
Little Iggy haunts my dreams.
Bob Dylan for Victoria’s Secret
BUT WHY?
Tori Amos for Just Right Cereal
Tori filmed this commercial well before she had a breakthrough with her musical career. Apparently moaning “ooooh,” “mmmm” and “aaaaah” wasn’t creatively fulfilling enough to make Tori want to stick with commercial acting.
Snoop Dogg for Vybe Mobile
If Snoop Dogg lived in my fridge, life would be wayyyyy different.
Ozzy Osbourne for I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter
In my opinion, they should have went with the original “Bats Taste Better With I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter” campaign.
