Great collection of bus ads!

Great collection of bus ads!

Just like my collection of <a href="http://www.pangitster.com">funny and priceless photos</a> !


Nikon, not Canon!

Great article... the image of a camera in add #9 is a Nikon though, not a Canon. Specifically, it seems to be the model sold in the USA as the D100: http://nikonimaging.com/global/products/digitalcamera/slr/d100/img/pic_0...

Cheers!


(Oops)

Before I get flamed, it should have been "ad #9" in my previous post , not "add #9" =)


The camera bus is actually

The camera bus is actually not an ad for the camera. It is for Yodobashi Camera, which is a big electronics superstore chain in Japan.


Idiot -- can't even spell

Idiot -- can't even spell "ad" right!!


Idiot

Just who is the idiot ~ ad is spelled ad when used in ADVERTISEMENT!  Duh!


this is cool

now i will say that this was a good one keep up the good work


poop

ya baby thats right poop in the bucket now oh yeah


Neither Nikon nor Canon

Technically, it's an ad for Yodobashi's camera department. Yodobashi is an amazing electronics store in Japan.

I knew that my katakana-reading ability would come in handy someday! "Yo-do-ba-shi-ka-me-ra" ;-)

See http://www.yodobashi.com/enjoy/more/store2/43648371.html


I Beg Your Pardon!

Calling someone an "idiot" because s/he wrote "add" instead of "ad"--but corrected it him- or herself (thereby indicating a slip-up instead of a moronic error) is arguably WORSE than the first "offense".  Why are you so harsh and eager to criticize?


Too Late

You already got "flamed" and blamed.


pretty much Deutsch sux

seriously its a big log in the mouth. better luck next year.

seriously i'd like to plow you with a double headed dildo.


Cool ads!

These ads will REALLY attract attention, especially the "Just in one bite" one.That one will have a cool animation.


I lovvvvvve double headed

I lovvvvvve double headed dildos!


WOW

Now that's what I call creative & cool

This kiss

This one ad with the kisson the door is very clever.

I like the way it uses the moving parts of the bus to convay a message to the audience.

 

Yours Sincerely ! 


Great pictures!

Great compilation. Made me

Great compilation. Made me laugh the hardest in awhile.


If that made you laugh the

If that made you laugh the hardest for a while you must be living a sad sad life.


Brilliant :)

Really nice selection of intelligent advertising there thanks :), HUGE toothbruth on the bus!.

 

Which countries are they from?


number 2 is from

number 2 is from turkey,

great pics by the way


So funny

Hilarious. Great compilation.


Very imaginative ads, but am

Very imaginative ads, but am I the only one that hates ads like the Tiernitos Dog Food and Axe ads that cover the entire bus, including the windows? As a passenger it is actually very difficult to see out of the windows, at least on the buses I've been on that have been similarly covered. Yeah, they put tiny holes in portions that cover the windows, but if I can't see in, imagine how hard it is to see out...


Nikon

Number 9 is Nikon and not Canon as you've written


You're both wrong.

Number 9 is Yodobashi Camera.


Yea

Yea, the katakana in the pic says yodobashi kamera, which means yodobashi camera of cuz.


Hate is a strong word

Dear No Perf,

I'm not sure what you're trying to say (are you seeing in or seeing out?).  Window Perf vinyl is designed so that bus riders can see out, but people on the street don't see in (just like regular tinted windows) unless it's at night and the lights are on.  Windows are not covered in cities where high crime rates occur on mass transit, like Miami, but otherwise, most people think these are an unusual and creative way to advertise.  Next time, wait for the next bus if you want to look out the window, nobody can wrap the entire fleet :)


a lot more ads like these..

Also take a look at this 'movie'
a lot original bus ads, with a couple of the ones shown on this page..

Clever...

Now that's the kind of advertisement firm I'd like to hire for my business.


Now that's great!

The dating one was the best solely because most of the time it would just flat out fail, since the message isn't delivered fuly. But in the few times that it did match up - it would be pretty amazing to see, I know that I would visit the site or product if I had witnessed it first hand - and I'm not the kind to even look for that kind of service.     


Amazing

The idea is amazing!


Incredible Advertising

I love these ads, they are amazing and congrats to the ad companys that made them.

ads

It's nice to see that some ad companies have fresh ideas for the ever-changing marketplace! Congrats to the up and comers in the field! The watch straps and the coffee manhole covers are a sure sign that these companies are thinking outside the box to reach the an evolving public.


#9 is Nikon

Keep good stuffs coming... Do not be discouraged by anyone who keeps judging but never contributing... Cheers.... :)
