The ad that I picked for a humor advertisement was a Pepsi twist ad. This ad has a lime squatting over a can of Pepsi peeing to in the can adding a touch of lime in to it. The ad looks as if it takes place on a kitchen counter top. I like how this ad makes the lime look buff and super human like. Even though it sounds very nasty and unappealing they do a great job in making you feel comfortable. For some odd reason you feel ok that there is a lime peeing in to one of your favorite soft drinks. The lime comes off as to be assertive and that there is nothing wrong with him doing its business in the drink. It is odd to think that a lime peeing in to drink could sell a product. The lime even has a lot of detail on it even water dew on it. This helps to prove the point that the lime is clean and that it is ok to drink since it has just been washed. Also the coloring on the lime is so great that the lime is perfect without any discolorations. It would be the lime that you would more than happy to find in the store. This ad provided me with a great laugh and kept my attention for a good amount of time. With these factors I would say that the ad is a great success. Humor is a great way to sell products and I feel that this ad is not offensive but I could see easily how others could take a great offence to it.
