Back in College Station, Texas, there once was a BBQ restaurant that aired the most disgusting commercial ever aired.

The owners of Pop's BBQ probably thought that it was a good concept at the time: slow pans across food being prepared, no voice-over, and the logo at the end. It was supposed to convey the message "Our food speaks for itself."

For some reason, they didn't clean the kitchen before they shot the commercial. They also didn't realize that people don't want to know how their food is prepared. Why else would they show a basket of onion rings being deep-fried in a filthy fryer that has been used all day long?

AMAZE! as your food gets dropped into a sickly yellow boiling pit of filth with little burnt crispy... things floating on the surface! If you could pull your eyes from that disgusting sight, you'd realize that there was grease and oil splattered on all visible chrome surfaces.

THRILL! to the sight of gravy being scooped onto mashed potatoes from a ladel that has about a week's worth of old gravy encrustated on the lip of the utensil!

RECOIL IN HORROR! as someone holds a brisket steady for slicing with his bare hands in violation of several state health regulations!

Pop's BBQ went out of business six weeks after the commercial first aired.
