The 50 Gayest Ads of All Time -- Ad Week Article

I came across the following article from Adweek. "The 50 Gayest Ads of All Time". A lot of funny stuff, a lot of which we've never seen because they are from foreign countries. Take some time and explore.

 

As for me the all time classic though is the ad for Durex condoms.

Love the Durex video==hate the sound. It comes close to nails on a blackboard for me:cool:

 

Tod--do you have any idea what year that commercial was from?

I'm not sure. I can date them back to at least 2008 or 2009 but they may be before that.

 

In looking I just came across a couple of great Durex print ads that are hysterical. Whoever runs the creative department at Durex and their ad agency is brilliant.

Anyone else want to meet the guy in the long kilt?

Lee,

Thanks for this fun post. I distinctly remember when I first saw the Durex ad with the balloons. I almost fell off my chair laughing, although I don't remember the date... tough getting old...LOL... also many thanks for the print ads, I have never seen any of them before, and especially the long kilt ad! You probably appreciate that one too... :-) Happy Fourth of July weekend to all on the Forum.
