20 Most Ridiculous Movie Promotional Images Ever Released
18. Corky Romano (2001)
Theres no denying that color and mood are inextricably linked. For instance, when we look at this poster for the Chris Kattan comedy Corky Romano it makes us feel some type of way. To put it simply, it hurts our eyes! Brighter than bright colors and weird staring eyes? We need our sunglasses for this one to block the harsh rays from harming our eyeballs. Who is Corky Romano? He's a veterinarian who is forced by his family to infiltrate the local FBI facility to steal evidence incriminating his father, Mafia boss Francis A. "Pops" Romano, of racketeering charges. Do we really care? No, not really. We'd rather watch A Night at the Roxbury instead.
17. Brüno (2009)
Only someone like Sacha Baron Cohen could get away with something this ridiculous. After the massive success of his 2006 mockumentary comedy Borat, Cohen decided to make his next film even more over-the-top. This time Cohen plays a gay Austrian fashion journalist who takes his show to America. His name is, you guessed it, Bruno. This promo photo raises far more questions than it answers. Like... why? This poster is about as subtle as Cohen's cash-grabbing (yet hilarious) antics. Also, are we the only ones that want to wipe that stupid look off of his face? No? Good to know. Honorable mention to another promotional image featuring Cohen riding a horse while scantly clad, for absolutely no reason.
