Sue Sylvester shilling coconut water is definitely one of the more bizarre advertisements of the year.

Celebrity endorsements soared to new heights of ridiculousness in the year 2015, with seemingly everyone and their mam willing to lend their face to any product under the sun.

You’d think that these famous faces would bring enough bread to the table from their main gigs alone but obviously there’s some sweet handy cash to be made for popping a picture of a detox tea on your Instagram.

I’ve compiled a list of the most outlandish endorsement deals for your perusal below.

 

Mariah Carey – Game Of War

Our Mimi makes an appearance in this TV spot for the mobile game. We’re not sure we buy her as a warrior queen, but the image is incredibly entertaining.

Jane Lynch – Vita Coco Coconut Water

Sue Sylvester shilling coconut water is definitely one of the more bizarre advertisements of the year.

Jeff Goldblum – Curry’s PC World

The iconic actor’s series of Christmas ads for the tech retailer are actually hilarious.

Scott Disick – Shine Masks

If anyone in the world would be the type to endorse a face mask containing real gold it would be Lord Disick himself.

I love gold and I like gold face masks even better. love my @shinemasks

James Franco – Guitar Hero We understand why Lenny Kravitz makes an appearance in this TV ad, but why on earth is James there? Since when has he ever had musical chops?   Cara Delevingne – Call Of Duty One of the world’s most successful supermodels makes an appearance in this ad for the massively popular game. Must be a big fan so. Lindsay Lohan – Kellogg’s How much cash did they throw you for the Frosties picture Linds? Let me know xxx

Yummy!!!!! ❤️?❤️ A photo posted by Lindsay Lohan (@lindsaylohan) on

Kim Kardashian – Diclegis

A morning sickness pill is probably the least glamorous endorsement deal Kimmy has ever done.

#CorrectiveAd I guess you saw the attention my last #morningsickness post received. The FDA has told Duchesnay, Inc., that my last post about Diclegis (doxylamine succinate and pyridoxine HCl) was incomplete because it did not include any risk information or important limitations of use for Diclegis. A link to this information accompanied the post, but this didn’t meet FDA requirements. So, I’m re-posting and sharing this important information about Diclegis. For US Residents Only. Diclegis is a prescription medicine used to treat nausea and vomiting of pregnancy in women who have not improved with change in diet or other non-medicine treatments. Limitation of Use: Diclegis has not been studied in women with hyperemesis gravidarum. Important Safety Information Do not take Diclegis if you are allergic to doxylamine succinate, other ethanolamine derivative antihistamines, pyridoxine hydrochloride or any of the ingredients in Diclegis. You should also not take Diclegis in combination with medicines called monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), as these medicines can intensify and prolong the adverse CNS effects of Diclegis. The most common side effect of Diclegis is drowsiness. Do not drive, operate heavy machinery, or other activities that need your full attention unless your healthcare provider says that you may do so. Do not drink alcohol, or take other central nervous system depressants such as cough and cold medicines, certain pain medicines, and medicines that help you sleep while you take Diclegis. Severe drowsiness can happen or become worse causing falls or accidents. Tell your healthcare provider about all of your medical conditions, including if you are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed. Diclegis can pass into your breast milk and may harm your baby. You should not breastfeed while using Diclegis. Additional safety information can be found at www.DiclegisImportantSafetyinfo.com or www.Diclegis.com. Duchesnay USA encourages you to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch or call 1-800-FDA-1088.
