The New York Times – Half-Truths Are Lies Too (2020)

Synopsis Political division is now in the media too, so biased reporting is becoming normalised. Naturally, people don’t believe the news anymore. So we created a satirical series of posters that address the rise in biased reporting in today’s mainstream media. In these fictional obituaries, infamous dictators are made to seem positive, showing how half truths are lies too, and are just as dangerous as fake news. Review In times where the mainstream media is

PocketBook – Inside your PocketBook: the Shocking Waltz (2020)

Synopsis PocketBook invites you to dance “The Shocking Waltz” on the most luxurious ball of this season. Good news: readers shouldn’t worry about the dress code. After all, a historical novel is supposed to be read in the comfort of your own home. Be careful reading fascinating classic novels, the book can steal you from reality, and put into incredible circumstances. Review The new mind-blowing commercial series showing the magic of immersion into the plot

PocketBook – Inside your PocketBook: the Spy Granny (2020)

Synopsis “The Spy Granny” is a stunning spy action with the main character on an important mission. Such a dramatic plot can be very dangerous – being swallowed up by the story, readers can find themselves right in the heart of the intense firefight! Then, perhaps, they will have to save the agent from the bad guys with guns. The viewer will jump into the culmination of the story, and only a few seconds later

Social Media Spotlight: Funny Gymshark Tweets

Every now and then we like to shine the spotlight on a brand that we think is killing it with comedy on social media. This time around, we’re looking at fitness clothing brand Gymshark. It turns out you don’t have to be fit OR funny — you can be both!? Guess I need a new excuse to skip leg day. The Gymshark social media team have recently hit their stride when it comes to

Mint Mobile – New ManageMint feat. Ryan Reynolds (2020)

Synopsis Ryan Reynolds, Hollywood star and new owner of Mint Mobile, presents a low-budget lockdown advert that’s packed with jokes, and delivered in his trademarked self-deprecating tone. Review This is a solid addition to the pantheon of Reynolds-based funny advertising — packed with all the fourth-wall-breaking meta-humour you’d expect from the star of Deadpool. In particular, the glimpse of Ryan’s computer desktop provides a bumper crop of background gags, which rewards repeat viewing and just

Progressive Insurance – WFH – What Day (2020)

Synopsis We’re already big fans of Progressive’s funny ads featuring Mara, Flo and their colleagues. The insurance company’s new series of spots is themed around working from home during the 2020 coronavirus lockdown, with the characters meeting via video call each episode. Review This latest instalment, ‘What Day’, is dubbed ‘the Improv Edition’. We love the characters, and the performers are strong improvisers, but we preferred the tighter (presumably scripted) thirty second spots in this

Find Digital Marketing Inspiration in these Funny McDonald’s Adverts

One of the most effective ways to improve your own digital and social media marketing is to study brands that have mastered the art. McDonald’s is an iconic fast food brand, so they’d be excused for focusing on the fries and letting their reputation market itself. But in actual fact, McDonald’s has been responsible for some of our favourite funny ads of recent years. Let’s take a look at the very best examples, and pick

Heroes, NHS – #StayHomeHeroes (2020)

Synopsis This digital ad campaign was created by advertising agency Iris, for Heroes — the charity founded by NHS workers for NHS workers. It encourages the public to be #StayHomeHeroes during the coronavirus lockdown. Review This campaign grabs the eye with bold colourful imagery and a strong, amusing core idea. The application of some light-touch humour helps it convey its vital message. In particular, note how the images with the strongest tag lines are those

Barclaycard – Fraud Fighter Tool (2020)

Synopsis “If only all fraud was this easy to spot…” In this prank show style advert for Barclaycard’s new fraud fighter tool, zoo visitors are surprised to see the gorillas display some shockingly human behaviours. Review Everyone involved in this advert seems to be having a great time. On-screen laughs don’t always convert into laughs for the viewer, but thankfully this ad delivers the family-friendly comedy goods. The prank is nicely orchestrated. It’s packed with

Pringles – Pringles Has Entered the Game (2020)

Synopsis This series of ads sees a pair of gamers use an Xbox controller to bring the excitement of gaming into the real world — before sitting back to enjoy the spectacle over a can of Pringles. Review This brand is no stranger to the White Label Comedy Funny Ads Archive. We loved their recent Rick and Morty collaboration — their other Super Bowl spots, not so much. These short and sweet ads highlight an
