#6 Vancouver Whitecaps Announce Marcel de Jong and David Edgar
Trending
Back in the summer of 2016, Pokemon Go had become a phenomenon. People all over the world were glued to their phones trying to catch Pokemon characters in their local area. The social media team at Vancouver Whitecaps wanted to capitalize on the popularity of the app and created the video above.
Perhaps quite in trend at the time of release, this video looks ridiculous today. Showing both Marcel de Jong and David Edgar as still images against a random background, the Whitecaps "capture" both players with Pokeballs.
#5 Stoke City Announce Joshua Tymon
This could easily be the most cringe-worthy player announcement on the list. In 2017, Stoke signed Joshua Tymon from Hull City. They decided the best way to announce his arrival to the fans was this video. In the clip, the camera shows somebody writing "Sign Someone Stoke!!" on their Twitter account.
As the camera pans out it shows Symon sitting in the chair, fully kitted out in Stoke gear. Two things to note about this video. Firstly, that thumbs up is beyond awkward. Secondly. check out the Wikipedia tab on the computer. Maybe he forgot his name due to all the excitement of signing for Stoke?
#4 Besiktas Announce Pepe and Alvaro Negredo
Like the lowest of low budget movies, the announcement of Pepe and Alvaro Negredo's arrival to Besiktas in 2017 was full of awful techno music and awkward acting. The "Come to Besiktas" line was used to show the Turkish club had captured Pepe on a free transfer before the former Real Madrid player told Alvaro Negredo to "Come to Besiktas".
The video has been viewed almost 4.5 million times so it certainly had the desired effect. However, the production quality is so bad it is almost funny.
