“Sure, we can take a look at that.”
Dumbest thing I’ve witnessed was the influencer team suggesting a rapper for a campaign who was currently on trial for raping a minor.
I blocked it out of my memory.
Shoopity doop. Shoopity doopitty doop.
I once had a creative director propose that the client sit in during the edit.
I made a joke about someone looking like they had a stroke in front of the COO. It was their second day back to work after having their stroke. I realize it was in poor taste but it landed with the room so I still have a job.
Not in a meeting but I once thought (I have no idea how) that "40 acres and a mule" was a dowry thing. I was promptly corrected. Still horrified.
That’s correct. In Kenya they do that.
Saying the words “art directors can be savages”. Got rebuked by a #staywoke junior creative. I’m an art director.

Not sure if this quite counts as “stupid” but I got into a fight with our CCO because he wanted to turn an idea of mine (which he’d loved as it was in the prior review) into an NFT activation. I basically told him in no uncertain terms that pursuing it as an NFT idea, particularly for the audience we were trying to target, wasn’t the right play. He and the account person backing him were NOT happy.
Well - what was the idea?
