Funny Indian Ads

1. Fevicol: "Bus Seat" (2002)


The Fevicol "Bus Seat" ad features a crowded bus where man sits on seat glued with Fevicol. Despite the bus stopping abruptly and passengers being jolted forward, the man remains firmly seated, thanks to the strong adhesive.


Fevicol ads are known for their humor and simplicity, and this one is no exception. The tagline "Fevicol ka jod hai, tootega nahi" (Fevicol's bond won't break) became a catchphrase. The ad was a huge hit, and the audience loved the humor and the clever representation of the product's strength. It also won several awards for its creativity and effectiveness.



2. Mentos: "Dimag Ki Batti Jala De" (2005)


The Mentos "Dimag Ki Batti Jala De" series featured quirky and humorous scenarios where characters have sudden moments of brilliance after consuming a Mentos mint. One memorable ad showed a student who, instead of cheating in an exam, finds a clever way to signal the right answers to his friend.


The phrase "Dimag Ki Batti Jala De" (Turn on your brain's light) became widely popular and entered everyday language as a way to describe a sudden clever idea or solution. The ad series was immensely popular for its humor and relatable situations. It resonated particularly well with younger audiences and significantly boosted Mentos' brand recognition and sales in India.



3. Vodafone: "ZooZoos" (2009)


The ZooZoos were introduced during the IPL season and quickly became a sensation. These egg-headed, white-bodied characters communicated in gibberish and acted out various scenarios to promote Vodafone's value-added services.


Contrary to popular belief, the ZooZoos were not animated characters but were played by actors in costumes. This gave them a unique and endearing appeal. The ZooZoos became a cultural phenomenon. Their quirky antics and the humorous way of conveying messages were loved by viewers of all ages. The ads boosted Vodafone's brand recall and popularity significantly.
