Messages to brake through the noise
Standing out from the crowd with your marketing message is extremely important. People are surrounded and almost permanently bombarded with advertisements. Only the most remarkable ones really have a chance to break through all this noise and enter the consumers‘ consciousness. For marketers this means the difference between money well spent or wasted.
Humor is one of the best ways to make your message stick out. It is not the easiest one, however. Humor is different between cultures and the border to the realm of insults is easily crossed. Some companies play with this issue but smaller companies with less tolerance for campaign disasters should be careful and rather go for funny approaches without insulting tendencies. A public lashback might well cost your business reputation.
The following 25 adverts are brilliant examples of funny adverts done right. We chose specimen from different industries to provide some inspiration for everyone. Of course you can also simply enjoy the creative spirit behind these funny print advertisements.
Enjoy!
P.S.: If you came across some really funny advert you want the world to see or even created one yourself please don’t hesitate to share it with us. That’s what the comments section is for. :)
