“Deserves A Raise”: 69 Brilliant Ads That Prove Creativity Is Still Alive And Well
Marketing can be pretty fun. Coming up with creative ideas and finding ways to present a product to an audience can be incredibly fulfilling for many people, though the art of advertising isn’t nearly as loved as we might think.
After all, we all despise ads. Whenever we open a website, watch a video or a stream, or even turn on the TV, they can get pretty annoying, pretty fast. But some ads catch our eye because they're so iconic, so we pulled a bunch of examples from Instagram to prove that not all ads are evil.

Neither an ambulance nor a hearse will drive you home. Yes I am fun at parties.

This was glorious! UK,2018. KFC changed its distribution company from Bidvest Logistics to DHL, and it was a total fùck up with most of their restaurants running out of chicken.

Meh, if it's a genuine happy smile, I don't give a daㅤmn about the number of teeth involved.

Anyone buying anything from Balenciaga deserves all the ridicule they get. Fair play to the company though for knowing how to market to stupid rich people.

There was à campaign with "Citroën always ahead" as a motto and someone drew à cartoon with a 2CV painstakingly climbing a slope, and à loooong file of cars behind it (here it's forbidden to overtake à car when in an upwards slope).

They were right. The typical teenager isn't going to listen to a lecture about their health when they already know they're invincible. Make what they're doing look uncool however....

Was this before or after they created Bic for Her lady-pens and charged more money for them?

As a baldy, I wouldn't wear them, but I know some people would absolutely rock this look.

Domestication actually HAS changed the domestic dog's digestive tract significantly. Dogs can have up to 30 copies of a gene that allows them to break down starch, vs. wolves who only have 2 copies of said gene. They also have significant variations in the genes that allow them to break down carbohydrates. However, the literal physical structure of the dog's digestive tract did NOT change - they still have the short, "fast" digestive tract of an obligate carnivore. They CAN derive more nutrition from starches and carbs than their wolf ancestors can, but that does NOT mean that they should eat a "human" omnivorous diet or that they should eat a diet high in plant products. A dog's diet should still be primarily meat-based.

I've used this advert with my Grade 5 English classes for years. It's awesome.

They do actually make decent printers. It's just a shame that they try to fùck you over any way they can, especially with the ink.

Shame they couldn't be bothered to find a genuine British guards uniform. I mean,there are five to choose from. Edit to add. While there are rules, enforced by the Advertising Standards Authority, there is no blanket ban on using genuine uniforms in the UK.

Like, they're cute because Stitch is cute, sure, but I don't understand the "iconic" or "legendary" aspect of advertising a Disney movie by having the character eat bits of actually iconic, much more classic Disney movies XD

That's because you cannot understand the poster like that without the info from actually knowing the plot before.

It's instantly and obviously a crocodile. I saw that first, then the crowd and then thought how contrived it was. Not on the same level as many of these.

except those shots were BS. They put giant DSRL camera lenses and flashes on top of the Iphone lenses and flashes with a rig. Sure, the camera in the end was an iphone, but if you didn't add thousands of professional photographer equipment on top, you would never get a shot like that in that iphone

Isn't that just what wigs do? The Sunday papers used to have huge wig advertising with dozens of styles and shades.

Firefox's latest ad is genius and very nostalgic. They got a lot of the old internet memes together: Numa Numa guy, Tay Zonday etc. Link in the reply

This list needs Old Bay's response to a PETA billboard in Maryland featuring a blue crab with the caption, "I'm ME, not MEAT."

The first time I've ever actually found several ads at once that I liked! 😃At least about 10 or 15 of them.

I didn't think these would be very good but they are older ads that actually had advertising departments and not just piling it on an unpaid intern.

Where the hell did the notifications button up the top go?? Is anyone else having this issue?
