An easy way to find an ad parody


So in search of an entry i googled "ad parody" and there you have it, a whole website of em. I grabbed a few i find amusing. The thing i love about logos is that everything about the logo that is created will be associated with that product, if done correctly. so even a logo with the most simple approach has aspects of it that is recognized as belonging to that product or company. the examples i picked prove that if you didnt know who they were talking about by the manipulation of the logo, it wouldn't make sense. it's amazing the number of companies i knew they were referring to without mention of the name. How many do you know?
False Advertising


Mad photoshoppin skills....

I stumbled across these while goofing off at work. At first i was just endlessly amused at how they made these celebreties into "ordinary" people. But then i becames slightly offended at the notion that this is what those of us who arent stars stars are represented as. I guess this applies to the class because it is the idea of who is "ordinary" and what that means. How that is represented visually here is really fasinating. unfortunately when i tried to add the pictures they were too small to really appreciate, so you'll have to get there yourself.

dun DUN!

I love this skit. Notice how even though there are no words, you are instantly sure what you are watching by that noise. I think it's very fasinating...
