F'd Ad Fridays: Lad Mag Humour

The first one is funny, the middle two awkward, and the last one kind of scary. (I don't think a laugh and some boobies are going to fix that one.) But together, they paint a pretty good socioeconomic portrait of Nuts Magazine's target readership.

The advertising seems a little misleading, too. The Nuts site ("Britain's number one men's website") is short on haha and heavy on hooters. It even offers to assess readers' (or, presumably, their aunties') breasts by adding them to the mammary menagerie.

If the the master of over-the-top fantasy illustration were asked to direct a Carl's Jr. ad, it would have some beefy guy in Greco-Roman bondage gear, standing on a mountaintop...

...wielding magical powers...

It would have busty women lolling around in improbable bikini armour...

 It would have mythical beasts...

 It would have even more gratuitous T&A...

And it would look like this:



Alas! Boris did not do this. But it is his kind of epic.

If real, this is hilarious. It reminds me of a guy I knew in the early '90s, who would delivery pizza with "extra oregano" if you asked for him by name.

The Jennifer Aniston Foundation

The Stiller Foundation (FB link) is a real charity, founded "to support children around the world by providing educational opportunities to help them realize their full potential."

The PSA, however, is just good old fashioned Stiller humour:



The URL is the best part, considering Aniston is one of the more modest and guarded blockbuster actresses out there. (Don't worry/get too excited, it just redirects to FB.)
