With the massive amount of information that people are bombarded with in real life and online, it’s incredibly difficult to stand out from the crowd. When everyone’s trying their best to seem unique in order to sell their products, there’s a lot of competition for the audience’s attention. However, quality content will always stand out. Guaranteed.... well, almost.

We’re willing to bet that most of you Pandas absolutely hate ads. Nobody wants their previous attention diverted by some lackluster commercial or a shameless self-plug. Heck, nobody wants to feel like they're being manipulated. However, you’ll probably agree that when the ads are creative, impactful, and are practically dripping with charisma, we can’t get enough of them. It’s marketing at its finest. It's a great way to get your own creative juices flowing. And that’s what we’re celebrating today by featuring the top posts from the ‘Best Ads of All Time’ Twitter account.

When an ad is entertaining, witty, and gives us a small but powerful experience without just asking for something in return, we’re far more open to its message. Check out some truly incredible ads below, and remember to upvote your fave ones, Pandas. We’d absolutely love to hear which ones were your favorite ones and why, too, so don’t be shy and wear your hearts on your sleeves.

Bored Panda was interested to find out how ads grab our attention in a sea of information, what the audience tends to notice first, and what actually gets people to buy the product, so we reached out to Matt Johnson, who was kind enough to answer our questions. Matt Johnson, Ph.D., is a professor of consumer psychology at Hult International Business School and Harvard University, and the author of 'Branding that Means Business: How to Build Enduring Bonds between Brands, Consumers and Markets.' Johnson is also the host of the Neuroscience of Branding blog. Read on for his insights about how we're wired to appreciate contrast and why legible fonts are so important.

    They always have great ads. I remember the one with Pope trying to tear up a condom and failing. I don’t mean any disrespect, but the ad was hillarious.
