Confusing Ads.

Not all ads are good. Some are just plain confusing like the Lovell Beer Ads. In fact, most ads aren't even memorable. And then, you get some that are memorable, but for the wrong reason. Such as, they don't make any sense at all.

Here, take this Samsung ad for example:



For those who can't read the text, it says "Even a Weather Forecast looks like a work of art". What is that what kind of weather forecaster dresses like that? Why does it look like she's twirling strings of light? I wouldn't even know this was for a TV unless I saw the picture on the bottom right hand corner.

Sony has been known to do some rather strange ads. But this one for the PSP still doesn't make sense to me:



If someone wants to interpret this for me, by all means, do so.

And then from PETA, I just ended up staring for a good minute before realizing this wasn't an ad for pornography.



Who still rides horse carriages in this day and age anyways?

3DS Ads.

The 3DS is the next series of Nintendo handhelds and they're now available for purchase.



But despite this the ads for this product are somewhat less widespread. Instead, Nintendo wants to rely more on "word-of-mouth" and cinematic ads apparently. Such as this Youtube ad:



There are a few magazines ads and I've heard of infobooths popping up to demonstrate the 3DS. That being said, what do you guys think will be more effective?

Vintage Coffee Ads from the 1900's

Anyone whose ever drank coffee probably knows why the number 1 sales pitched used by Coffee Manufactures is based upon the caffeine content of it, and the flavor. Something which such high caffeine content, most modern energy drinks struggle to compete with it, and a flavor so unique it's shared by millions in the United States alone every morning, no wonder it sells so well! Tonights ads show that Coffee has been around for hundreds of years, and isn't going anywhere anytime soon!

Enjoy these Vintage 1900's Coffee Ads!

 

April Fools!

On this day, trust nothing and no one because chances are it's nothing but a silly joke. Ads are no exception so today I'm going to show you a collection of ads that were presented on April Fools. BUT, one of them wasn't, can you figure out which one?

Let's start with this Guinness ad. The beer looks, hm.



This one is a bit more obvious, I think Waltross wasn't trying hard enough.



Not for dog lovers I guess.



This Swedish ad depicts a burger going from ~$1 to ~$10.



So, did you figure it out which one was the fake April Fools day ad? It was the panana one, well done to everyone who guessed it right!

Nah, I'm kidding. None of them were. :)
