Funny Topical Virgin Advert

When I returned home to Merseyside last week an advert in the Liverpool Echo made me chuckle. To put the advert into perspective Robbie Keane was signed by Liverpool FC in the summer from Tottenham Hotspurs, only to be sold back to them in January at the first possible chance.

In a matter of days after the sale had gone through this very topical advert for Virgin trains' Liverpool to London service appeared...


...clever, witty and more importantly produced very fast so the event is fresh in the head of the reader.

And just one more thing...is the price a coincidence seeing as he was sold for £12million?

Sofa King

Possibly the best strapline ever?
















An advert on the side of a bus in New York for "Sofa King"

New Guiness Advert

I haven't seen this advert on TV or anything yet but did come across it on the web. Seems a very extreme contrast to Guinness adverts of old. In fact fr me it just doesn't sit with the brand at all. Perhaps this is a time of change for Guinness in an attempt to broaden their market reach. They are market leader by far in their own stout market and perhaps this is an attempt to try and break into the younger lager market sector.

Carlsberg Ambient Campaign

This ambient media from Carlsberg continues their long running 'probably' campaign. Carlberg distributed £5000 worth of £10 and £20 notes around London with this removable sticker on. A costly campaign on face value but probably cheaper than running another advert and instead of being a fantasy like many of the other adverts this was for real, suddenly Carlsberg were making "probably the best litter in the world".

Funny Canadian Signs

Ok so this was more a case of see a silly sign take a picture. A little project while i was on holiday. Funny none the less!

"Turn Your Knob To Bob" -> Bob FM


"Jug City - More Than Just Milk"

A little Austrian town named...

The newspaper article is particularly funny...



It does raise some questions though...

Are the residents called Fuckers?

What are their mothers called?

What would you be learning at the Fucking High School?

Does the Fucking Hospital help you with anything else?

If your friend came from another town, he wouldn't be your Fucking friend.
