People who make stupid Perdue University Ads and Obnoxious Grammarly ads who refuse to shove their ads into your eyeballs and who must stop before someone is going to do something about it (IE make a petition or join others who hate the ads equally or more)

/dʌm‑ædz/
Definition:
An informal, mildly vulgar slang term used to describe a batch of foolish, incompetent, or embarrassingly inept advertisements or promotional pitches—often those that fail spectacularly, showing a total lack of thought or taste.
Formed analogously to “dumbass”, which is rooted in dumb (“stupid”) + ass (“foolish person”)
Just as “dumbass” refers to a person acting without intelligence, “dumbads” refers to ads that act (or perform) as if they’re stupid.
Connotations:
Plural-only usage: You’d rarely say “a dumbad”; instead, “those dumbads” or “these dumbads.”
Casual and biting: Ideal for social media critiques, ad reviews, marketing-rip critique posts, or conversational snark.
Vulgar-adjacent: Similar register to “dumbass”—not suited for formal/business writing, but fine for comedic or irreverent commentary.
