Funny ads - giggle for the day.

July 10th 2009 12:41

I saw these and they gave me a giggle so I thought I'd share. Just a small collection of random advertising. One from the past, one from the present and one, methinks, was either done by by someone who did not have English as their first language...or perhaps someone just added their own funny to an existing ad. Gotta love creativity!

If only they knew then how funny this would be as the years passed.

This made me laugh out loud. PS: It says Durex - Extra Large and I don't think they mean sticky tape!

And whether or not this was an unintentional Engrish type error or some smarty pants added it. It's bloody funny!

Haha Hatchy, I don't know where it originated. Maybe it was one of those cases of losing it in the translation

Sometimes the translation errors are hilarious!

These are perfect, Cheryl! That last one made me spit out my coffee!

Something tells me it was intentional, given the pictures...someone was in on the joke anyway!

"what a feeling" indeed! lol

Anonymous, whoever you are - thanks!

Morgan, I couldn't think of anything less sexy than being suffocated with smoke. Now lighting a ladies cigarette, I could see how that would be a bit flirty.

Natalina, I was going to make a very vulgar joke about your comment but thought I'd better not. I do think it was something that was probably tagged on to an old ad as a joke but who knows!

Very funny, Cheryl.

I think it might only be Australians who relate Durex to sticky tape. I found this out in my travels many years ago!
