Funny Advertisements.

Welcome to the blog of funny commercials. Commercials can have just anything. It can be a serious commercial or a health related commercial or even one that would convey some productive message. Not many people know but a funny commercial too can be a great stress buster. A commercial is nothing but a joke, which is pasteurized including some product. Each and every product has its advertisement, which is being shown in the television.

When we see a program on some stuff, it is irritating when they take break to show few commercials. But we should understand one thing that these are the funny TV ad commercials, which are being shown, are with productive message or entertain us and sometimes they behave like a break for your mind to relax. Nowadays, many people just switch their television on just to see these very funny commercials, which indeed are too funny to resist watching. If a commercial has no fun then it’s not really worth watching or even calling funny.

A man walks out of a bookstore, carrying a bag, and onlookers staring at his bag smile. His bag is printed with a woman’s face, and the part of the bag where his hand slips in (to grasp the handle) is right where the woman’s mouth is. On the bottom right of the bag is a message: “Stop biting your nails?” The bag is a walking ad for a formula that helps grow back nails.

We’ve all seen scenes like this one. Funny advertisements that snatch us, pick us up for short ride, and bring us down surprised. Funny ads are all over the place. On billboards, on packages, in audio, and in video!

In one Swedish commercial, two middle aged men in a sauna sit side by side, presumably naked, but viewers see only their chests and faces. One man sleeps as the other leans in to stare at the other’s crotch. The sleeping man wakes up, catches his embarrassed seatmate, but nudges for the other to go on. So the other leans in and picks up… the newspaper on the other man’s lap.

Humor, novelty, misdirection, and shock value are all woven together to get people’s attention, and the people, in the span of a few seconds, intuit the message, admire the medium, and retain the message longer than the news they read this morning.

The Super Bowl telecast proves every year that the nation's best ad producers believe humor is a powerful advertising tool, especially in television commercials. A funny commercial generates excitement. It has a good chance of being remembered. The best ones generate the consumer buzz that advertisers now seek.

As folks attending Super Bowl television parties have observed, some viewers look forward to the commercials more than the game. They keep watching even when the game gets dull.

Local advertisers have experimented with humorous commercials for decades, with mixed success. They are apt to try more in the future because:

* They are challenged by the same clutter that national advertisers face;
* They have more technology to work with in creating commercials;
* There are more funny examples to inspire them.


Some politicians, facing a growing weariness with both syrupy ads and attack ads, are also opting for humor in their campaign commercials, sometimes finding their humor in attacking the opposition. That was evident in the 2007 Louisiana election campaigns.

The 2008 presidential and Congressional campaigns could be a banner year for funny political commercials as the politicians try to separate themselves from the pack, reach out to younger voters and take more advantage of Internet video capability.
