As long ago as December 2009, we brought you a selection of humorous advertisements in our article 60 Humorous Print Advertisements to Tickle Your Bones
Advertising Agencies are, of course, still creating humorous adverts to capture the public’s attention – both for print and video, so we thought we would compile another collection of print advertisements that will make you smile.
Even if there is a serious message to be conveyed, humor can reach out and not only convey the message, but immediately grab attention.
It is, of course, important that the advertisement gives some indication of what is actually being promoted, although some extremely well-known brands can get away with no actual reference to their product in their advertisements, companies such as McDonald’s and Nike are just two such brands.
This showcase of humorous print advertisements features some new promotions, as well as some a little older. I hope you enjoy viewing them, and that they bring a smile to your face!
