Funny Ads - Print/TV/Ambient etc
« on: March 12, 2011, 09:33:01 PM »
OK, as I am at University studying Advertising & Design, I thought why not create a topic for funny advertising, whatever it is; print, TV, ambient, radio, viral, direct mail etc etc etc !?

So, here's one by Post-it (end-line is 'For the little things you'll forget'):

Best wishes,
Adam

Quite a graphic going on there, Mel.

I found this one which you and the other lawyers may appreciate (ignore the top text - it's not part of the ad) ...


Best wishes,
Adam

This is Cory Felman, Esquire, the female lawyer who ran those ads.  She also posed for a magazine called Playboy, which is something I've never read or looked at of course:

HA HA!  :o
No way!

I did NOT expect that, Mel!

I also can't say I've EVER heard of a lawyer be so forward in terms getting her kit off like this ...
... Only in America, eh!? Not that I'm complaining, mind! laugh1

I think that ad is pretty pants to be honest, but that is just my opinion  :P

On a side note Mel, I'm not getting at you, but can you post smaller images, please?
I know you love huge images, but like others have said, it's quite hard looking at pictures when they're larger than the screen size...
... I'm using a 32inch wide-screen and it doesn't fit! sm1

Amazing what how things were promoted, back in the day. I mean, if your dentist recommends a product, it must be good for you..LOL
