[ad design] Hipsters and Man Buns … Always Comedy Gold

3401.

Saw this on a northbound TriMet bus on SE 122nd and Division yesterday:

I'm of  mixed feelings here. I'll say it, I hate the 'man-bun'. Everything's ugly about it, including the name. That 2-level (!) monstrosity is atrocious, and quite possibly a crime against some facet of humanity.

The joke is an easy one to make, though. The stereotypical hipster is someone everyone loves to hate and it's becoming something of lazy trope.

That said, though? As a reflection of the culture right now? It's funny. We laughed our asses off.

An ad recently espied in Soylent News™:

You'll probably figure out the kind I mean.

Walking in a local grocery story, I looked up and was confronted by this on the back of an endcap display:

I don't know about anyone else, but I took one look at that and I knew, instantly, what that cute young tyke was going to look like when she was 35 years old. She would look equally at home as some high-powered executive as she would taking up your time on your front doorstep telling you about what her religion can do for you.

As it is, she seems just a little too thrilled at the presumable knowledge that she's got some Little Debbie to be munchin' on at lunch. I mean, that sort of smile is reserved for lottery winners.

I'm not sure what lottery you've won by turning up a Little Debbie snack in your lunchbox, but I'm pretty sure that it's not the kind where you win money.

[ad_design] Apple-fy Your World

2859.From the introduction to the blog Applefied Ads, which is a very apt explanation:

Lately I have noticed how relatively boring  ultra simple Apple's advertising has become.  It has turned into Product + Product Name + Hands-Touching-Product-formulaic-advertising BS.
It spawned an idea.  What would it look like if this formula was applied to all products.  Would it work?

Well, would it?
