The Craziest Adverts in the World

From shaven cats to battery powered buses and giraffes, it's all here. Take a look into the crazy world of advertising.

Fresh Laid Eggs

This South African advert for freshly laid eggs is artistically well designed but also very clever.

There were a series of these featuring other "bad eggs" from history including Bin Laden and Saddam.

Microsoft Confesses

This one needs no introduction, or comment. Is it an advert, or a threat?

Simple But Effective

Different sizes of shoes advertised on different sizes of billboard.

Outdoor Barbecue Maker

No comment!

Bad Hair Day?

Guess what brand of shampoo you need to solve the problem.

Soft as a Baby's ***

Hey, who turned the central heating off?

Not Quite What It Seems

This advert is fixed to the window of a subway train. It reminds passengers that these seats are reserved for:

  • People with injuries... sore arm in picture.
  • Mother's with babies on their knees.
  • Pregnant mothers
  • Old folk.

It's All In The Presentation

This advert for sandwiches clearly shows that only the filling has been eaten. Obviously, the consumer of this product was never taught to eat their crusts.

Pringles

This Japanese advert for Pringles shows two Pringles embracing each other in a bowl of soup. The significance of this in Japanese advertising escapes me completely.

Pedigree Foods

This advertising by Pedigree Foods features stickers which have scents that attract dogs. The dog locates the smell, follows it and shows the owner what it wants to eat. Clever!

Max Factor

This rain sensitive billboard advert features Max Factor mascara. When it rains, the eye that doesn't use Max Factor runs, but the other one doesn't.

Baby-Safe Razors

Hmm! I don't think so. (Please don't give your baby a razor!)

Dance Lessons

This advert appeared on lampposts in San Francisco.

This billboard comes complete with bird food.

Green Fuel?

This advert for Duracell batteries is really clever. It looks so realistic.

Stretching The Imagination

This advert for San Francisco Zoo is eye catching and very powerful.
