Unhinged Advertising: The Power of the Absurd
4/4/202628 min
This week, we look at weird, unhinged advertising.
Like the “PuppyMonkeyBaby” Super Bowl commercial.
The sad Skittles commercial where everything a man touches turns to Skittles.
A leather diaper you can wear to heavy metal concerts so you won’t miss any songs.
And a pizza that takes a year and a half to be delivered to your home.
