I think that for an ad to be successful, it must be either very funny or very dramatic, because these are the ways you can grab someone’s attention. If the message is delivered via a common or boring illustration, then the chances of remembering the product are very slim.

Besides the good delivery, a funny ad will also be promoted for free by the consumers, just like this article so the company or person behind the advertisement will gain popularity with a lot less money.

In this post you can see 50 very funny and creative printed ads which will make you smile. Let me know which one you like the most.
