“They” (my old ad profs) said “the best ads have a personality.” Well, these ads are all real assholes.
Ad via Germany.
Porsche drivers already have "asshole" tag problems.
This ad just makes it that much worse.
This Reebok ad via Germany doesn't even try to hide its asshole-ness one bit.
Calling any investment ad an "asshole" these days is like calling an asshole an "asshole." However, this particular ad is really an asshole.
I really hate to pick on a world-destroying firm like Morgan Stanley...
These ads are from 2008, right on the middle of the financial collapse.
The copy starts: "If you look closely, you’ll see one is a white-bearded goat and the other a balloon.”
Well, that sure is some extraordinary worldly wiseness. So…are you guys the goat or the balloon? Are you suggesting that I invest in livestock? Rubber? Ocean exploration?
Fuck you, assholes.
