C'mon Get Happy… - In its 2013 Super Bowl spot, Volkswagen featured a white male who inexplicably adopted a Jamaican accent and spread his "good vibes" around the office after purchasing a new VW Beetle. The commercial's soundtrack was set to a slinky, reggae beat, but some viewers found it ventured into the "uncomfortably racist" territory.  (Photo: Volkswagen via YouTube)

Bad Aftertaste - After comparing her rich complexion to dark chocolate, this 2011 Cadbury ad left a bad taste in the mouth of super model Naomi Campbell, who told reporters she "found no humor" in the ad's "hurtful and insulting" tagline, which read: "Move over, Naomi, there's a new diva in town." (Photo: Cadbury)

"The Wunder Down Under" - In 2011, a series of ads promoting Summer's Eve's feminine wash played up a number of racial stereotypes and used a woman's hand to simulate the inner musings of the female genitalia. One was voiced with a thick, southern accent that punctuated its points with enough "girrrrl" and "mmhhmms" to paint an uncomfortable picture of Black female stereotypes. (Photo: Ryan Escobar via YouTube)
