  1. Dear Unknown, who have left such comment: “The Rama ad is by Jung von Matt/Alster, Germany”,

    We accidently erased your comment, so we apologize for that and thank you so much for your information – see updated post.

  2. Pretty cool pics. I like the Papa Johns “peep hole” idea.

  3. Remember “Buy this, you moron?”

    That was one of mine……….

  4. I would definitely open the door if that model was at my door.

  5. This is an unusual website. SAome of these photo’s could be used by criminals to gain entrance into your home. The photo’s that were placed on the doors peephole could allow a person to come in and rob you or cause physical harm to you.

  6. I am looking to buy the sheets and a towel wrap with a print of legs wrapped around ….

    Can anyone advise where to purchase?

  7. I’ve stumbled on this quite a few times so far and I love it every time. Great post!

  8. Debra… calm down. Take a deep breath… hold it… now, slowly, let it out. There you go! That easy. Now thats the first step to the common problem of always thinking negative over images on sites because you don’t have a sense of humor.
    Actually, when you REALLY look through the peep hole, you can tell it is fake, unless if you are half blind, in which you shouldn’t be using the peep hole anyhow. OMG an ad… the world is going to end. Criminals are going to use Papa Johns to kill you. Ahhhh!

    Sorry, I’m stumbling and EVERY forum or comment place has to have someone making humor negative. >_

  9. Those are totally awesome…Niceee

  10. I ,thought all the ads were funny .

    All of the adds are great – good work.
    Thanks,

  15. Lots of laugh here in the office. Nice.

  16. i recognise the subway map on the ‘guy caught in the door’. it is for the Beijing (China) metro. not enough detail in the pic to see what he is saying/advertising.

    great pics!

  17. THE ABBREVIATION FOR LOTS OF LAUGS IS LOL, RETARD.

  18. Cool~ hehe and funny too

  19. Michelle, you ever hear of of negligence? It’s a legal term, when you do something stupid which causes harm and results in hefty attorney fees.

    I’d also aply that to the elevator door.

    Cluestick: some people aren’t expecting something wierd to pop up in their face when they’re going about their daily business, and accidents can occur as a result. Guess who’s responsible?

    Maybe instead of expecting other people to automatically agree with whatever you find funny, other people might expect you to have a brain that works.

  20. The last 3rd one seems to be in Beijing’s Subway.

  21. hello michelle

    can you believe these two brilliant women, debra and andrea? they have saved millions who could have had a “horrible accident” by seeing a sticker on the elevator or who could have been killed because they would think “oh again that’s the hot model in a bikini that comes by everyday, I will open the door right away!”. hey hey, you saved the world today.

    what poor lives they must be leading with this constant anxiety and ridiculous ideas about what’s moral, safe and proper. so pitiful.

  22. These ads are great. I loved the PaPa John’s Pizza delivery ad. PoPo

  23. Its so funny i loved the papa john’ s pizza delivery ad. popo

  24. I think all these people need new bikes!

  25. It’s nice to see so many creative ads in the sea of usually mundane.

  26. The last photo (the one with the dog) is real and it’s from Iam’s and is indeed on their front gate.

  27. The Ford Mustang ads are mock-ups and not real boards. It should be noted that they do not actually exist. The others are quite humorous.
