Today's Worst Flier of the Week (dis)honoree kinda reminds of that "Mad Men" episode about taking LSD. Only, I think if someone designed this at Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce, they'd end up with fired like Sal Ramano.

Today's Worst Flier of the Week posts brings to mind a question: How many cheesy fliers does one event need? If you're talking about tonight's concert from Baby Bash at the Tulare Fairgrounds, the answer is eight. That we could find. Including after-parties. So this is a special body-of-work honor for all the fliers associated with this event.

Making one cringe-worthy event flier? Anybody can do that. But consistently using bad graphic design like this? That's something! It takes special dedication to jam so many fonts onto one poster, to find that many different girls on Google Images and to keep doing it over and over again.

Let's all pat our local graphic designers and nightclub party planners on the back and congratulate them for not thinking up something as horrid as what you're about to see.

Ready?

The people have been asking for it, so here's a new Worst Flier of the Week.

The selection this time is a blueprint of how to make an uber-cheesy hip-hop flier: Exploding bottles, stacks of money, raining money, cartoon speakers, scantily-clad women (who are are obviously not to scale) -- all that's missing is a Hummer.

It fits too. 'Cause this dude the flier is for is pretty wack, judging from his one hit. But that's OK. He seems quite happy to be surrounded by all that cliche.

There are no words for what you are about to see.

I dunno that is NSFW so much as it not safe for humans in general.

You've been warned.

Willed back into existence by the powers of cheesy graphic design and tacky promotion ideas, it's another installment of Worst Flier of the Week.

THE RUNNER UP
While these horrible fliers are often no stranger to using sex as a selling point, our runner up this go 'round wins points for most shameless display we've see in a while.

From here on out, I'm going to try to balance the worst in local flier design with the people who doing it right. So I'll highlight what I think are the best and worst fliers of the week.

We'll start with the best:

Haven't done much flier critiquing lately. But while putting together today's Post No Bills, I felt obligated to shout out some of the really nice looking event fliers that were sent my way.

I don't know a whole heck of a lot about who made these (sorry -- speak up if you're out there), but I know I like them. Pats on the back to all involved.

It's been a while since I did either a Best Flier of the Week or Worst Flier of the Week post. And this week I came across this flier for local band Electro-Funk Explosion that I knew fit one of those categories -- I just wasn't sure which.

It's pretty hilarious. But it's also in poor taste.

So I'll let you guys decide: Best or Worst? Awesome or horrible?

OK, this isn't really a flier -- it's a video. And it's not from Fresno -- Boston, actually. But I know people who appreciate our Worst Flier of the Week feature will LOVE this.
