33+ Cool and Creative Ambient Ads
We are used to think that advertising is something that gives us some time to go to the bathroom while watching a TV show or a movie.
But should all advertising be so?
Not at all! I bet advertising could be so cool and creative that you would better pee your pants than miss it.
For panda, the best advertising type is Ambient.
Why?
Because it is integrated into our natural surroundings, and catch our attention in places where we least expect to.
Sorry for the first one, but hey, I bet you are so bored, that only the ass toilet paper dispenser can wake you up.
Bored Panda is proud to present this wonderful list of 33 cool and creative ambient ads. Enjoy!

good advertisements… I’m a design major in university and I bet all my classmates and instructors would love to see this page. It’s too bad you had to put the bum at the beginning, because now I can’t share it with anybody.
@Kourtney somehow I never thought this bum could be a problem, but you made a good point there. Thank you!
really nice ads and creative work
The eye boner is a bit much, as well as the bung hole toilet paper, however, I sure won’t forget them. Silksoft and apple orange. Whatever apple orange is….
Good work! its very funny!
Are two of those fish dead at the bottom?
Milky Way seatbelt is epic.

Very fun and creative! I LOVED looking at the ads, but as someone said, the butt and eye boner make it so I can’t really share it with family and friends.
