Do all those mobile game ads where the people playing it being complete idiots and failing at the most basic puzzles count?

IIRC the video game "The Quiet Man" did in at least one country.

The Lars Von Trier movie Dancer In The Dark did that.

Jerry Springer's intro boasted about being voted the worst show of all time, for a while.

Not quite the same thing, but Marmite and a couple of medicine brands have run campaigns about how bad their product tastes.

Fisherman's Friend, actually, a cough drop.
The ads were maybe a bit too successful, because a couple years later they ran ads saying "It doesn't taste THAT awful... and it works!"
(Which is right, they don't taste that awful and they work as well as any other menthol lozenge.)
Edit: wait, no, my bad, it was Buckley's Mixture that did those ads so it was a syrup. I think Fisherman's Friend did something similar at one point, though.
