Using next to nothing to be funny: 21 minimalistic, funny advertisements

Some brands try really hard to be funny with an ad, others keep it minimalistic. This often works out just as good, even though you might need some more time to understand the joke. I personally like it when you have to think a little, especially when the result is getting a joke.

 As if four paper clips would randomly lay somewhere in Germany, they'd be in their appropriate box.



 She's got some big ol' toes.

 A lot of these ads are powerful because you can put a single idea into multiple uses, like Pringles did.

Same idea twice, works out great both times. 

This idea could technically also be done with Nike's Swoosh, but they'd probably get more annoyed than Adidas. 

If you take news as a subject, the possibilities are endless. 

 Shoutout to my (very few) French readers.

What would even be the point of starting your car from this distance? You probably won't even see your car from this far away unless you park it in an abyss. 

Durex has some great marketing people. 

 I sometimes wonders how many guys would have the first name Adolf or that style of moustache if Hitler never rose to power.

So meta. 

 A change for the better, I say.

Wi-fries.

Some ads don't even need to use visuals, they use powerful text. 

"Working hard or hardly working?" God no. 

 Painfully relatable for a lot of people.

 Simple. Clever. Cute.

I find it hard to believe this was done with dental floss. 

It's a tomato, it's Heinz. Clear as day.

I've added this one because it shows that they're not always as easy to get. It's a bubblegum ad about blowing enormous bubbles. Yeah, that's a mouth.
