Simply buses

The Duracell one makes me laugh, it's quite clever.

I'm kind of curious about the train of thought that led to the guy splattered on the front window, though. It looks like it might block the driver's line of sight... ironically, to where pedestrians may have stepped out in front of the bus. I know you can kind of see through those vinyl wraps but if the sun is catching them at the right angle they're as good as a solid wall.

Also: what's up with the garbage truck one?

The "Don't Jump" bus made me laugh. Then it made me sad.

FilterOutBullshit3 · 10 months

Yeah... the big bus with the smaller bus painted on is just waiting for someone to not be paying attention.

I work in advertising and its interesting to note that none of the U.S. versions actually exist, they're just comps (concept images)... Companies in the states like to see cool ideas on paper but when it comes to actually executing them anything that isn't safe gets shut down. I think its because corporations here mirror our government, in that they are both bureaucratic labyrinths. Every once and a while you can sneak something up the ladder but those opportunities are few and far between. This also why most of the really creative advertising and design you see here in the U.S. comes from smaller companies, where there are less hoops to jump through and they are more willing to take a chance on something that could make or break them.

Edit: I realize to the outside observer that it might be hard to look at some of these really cool ideas and understand why someone would be afraid to execute them... but these are the same people that still think television commercials are a viable advertising format.

I didn't know Norway had hosted the World Championship in accordion playing. Then again, I didn't know such a thing exists. What on earth do they compete in?

I love the one from Brazil with the guy splattered on the front windshield. It says cross only at the (appropriate) lanes.

I want to talk to the woman who volunteered to be in the first one. "Ok, we are looking for an actor that looks fat enough to tip a bus, YOU lady will do. Skinny actors can go home"

Anyone else imagine that the guy in the last photo is this guy?

The second one, with the snake, is from Copenhagen(Denmark). It stops right outside of the city zoo. People had a very weird look on their faces, the first time they saw it. It was epic!

Do the ad agencies sit around designing buss ads to pitch to the clients or do the clients say "we need a creative bus ad, ad agency"

The one with the smaller bus inside the bigger one says big bus becomes little bus.

I think it's in Taiwan because it's in traditional Chinese.

Is it ironic that while looking at this a metal part of my desk chair broke and I crashed into the floor? I'm just happy I wasn't taking a sip of my coffee at the time.

For the record I'm about 200 pounds and 6'1". Wouldn't consider myself huge, but a little overweight. Damn.

edit: oh wait, there's more than just the first one? too busy noticing the shooting pain in my arm.

The one that says "Don't Jump" in huge letters at the top is a wonderful idea.

It's weird when an advertisement pulls on our heartstrings.

i've been to weightwatchers and they are a bunch of very kind people. i'm sorry but i just feel this advertisement is in poor taste and may deter potential clients who feel they'll be ridiculed if they join.
