Human minds have become so good at spotting advertisements that marketing maestros are constantly forced to come up with clever ways to get us to think about their brands in a positive way.
Wendy's is doing it by negging people on Twitter, and Skittles is doing it by just, well, being super duper weird.
And while print media isn't exactly thriving, that doesn't mean that advertisers have lost a step when it comes to print and billboard ads. Check out these ads that'll make you do a double take.
1. This one that nails why you need a lint roller in the first place.
2. This ad that, well, you know...
3. This ad that every pet owner can relate to.
4. And this one that every parent wishes they didn't relate to.
5. This one that hopefully didn't cause any crashes.
