Creative advertising is not only entertaining but also enlightening. It turns out that songs can be measured in liters consumed. But consumed not inside, but during an impromptu concert in the bathroom. The posters remind us that while we are singing in the shower, water flows down the pipe at a rate of 9 liters per minute. And if ash-two-oh is a matter of everyday life (with one "Thriller" more, others less - trifles), then how not to throw out your singing talent with her. Therefore, a funny ad suggests not to let your
For some, the book is a feast for the spirit, and for others, a feast for the belly. It is about others that a funny advertisement for the fair, which has been held since 1955 and annually attracts 2 million visitors, tells. Creative posters call for donating books to those who truly love them (but not in a culinary sense): “Feed the culture, don't feed the moths”. Meanwhile, insects sincerely love fine literature: at a picnic they will overpower larger volumes, and for a date by candlelight they will choose
It is hard for garden gnomes to live: people strive to turn dubious plantings near the house into a Garden of Eden. Eternal greenery and eternal youth should reign here, which means there is no place for fallen leaves and other signs of wilting. Garden gnomes also come under the hot hand with a leaf blowing machine. The authors of the funny ad presented several scenes with the blowing off of clothes, one more erotic than the other
Hair stores the vitality of a person, the ancients believed. And it's a pity to give this power to a piece of plastic, the original advertisement develops the idea. The anti-hair loss remedy will prevent the bristling "energy vampire" from taking over the most precious things. Meanwhile, the brush on each poster gathered material into a nice wig and became like a man. Why feed your doppelganger with hair? An advertisement for an anti-hair loss product does not know either
Can a hacksaw blade look sexy? Maybe non-standard advertising answers confidently. And for this you don't even need to make up, you just need to place it in the familiar scenery of the "Basic Instinct". The same applies to other devices, seemingly far from the sphere of seduction. Custom ads recreate scenes from 9 1/2 Weeks, Flash Dance, and American Beauty to make viewers more pleasantly associated with the tools depicted on the posters
As you know, there are no ugly women, there is little vodka. But here you also need to know when to stop, warns the original advertisement. If, looking at the "Miss World", pour balls, then you can get fed up with perfection and burn out. "If the average Czech girl looks like this, who cares for alcohol?" - asks the original advertisement. Rhetorical question: such and such girls get drunk harder than alcohol
Despite the fact that the words "stain" and "spots" are not related, the original laundry advertisement presents cleaning stained clothes as a game of spots (the message of creative posters - "We remove stains playfully" is something like that). An excellent message, but I would like to add that, judging by the drawings, the spots will not disappear alone, but together with the hollow shirt and a piece of the leg. What can you do, these are, apparently, the rules of the game of tag with a laundry bias

Fighters for gender justice today do not get tired of declaring that a woman has no place in the kitchen, they say, great achievements await her. It is curious that the desire to raise generations of housewives was not always inherent in the powers that be; during the Second World War, the American government was well aware of the benefits that women's labor could bring, and therefore actively promoted the participation of the beautiful half of humanity in difficult war days. For your attention - some photos illustrating
