At My Odd Sock, we live for the silly.

We loathe for the ridiculous.

And when it comes to advertising, we consumers get more than our bloated share of the stupid.

But that’s why I’m here (you can thank me later), to point out the absurd, snicker at the amusing and gag at the ludicrious.

 

Here are a couple of gems I found recently…..

 

 

 

Kohl’s Department Store has this handsome guy all decked out!

Too bad his Haggar sport coat looks three sizes too small.

 

But it’s a “tailored look”.  Yeah, tailored for a pre-puberty adolescent!

 

Guy:  “I don’t know what happened–it used to fit!  Maybe I shouldn’t have had Chipotle before the shoot!”

 

Geez, unbutton the button, dude.  You’ll be able to breathe then!

Lastly, Dollar General dresses all the radical extremists of the world…..

 

 

Yes, it’s camo styles for the entire family!

Honestly, I didn’t know camo was considered a “style.”

Men, ladies, boys & girls—the radical family that camos together disappears from society together!

And thank goodness Dollar General adds the disclaimer “Excludes Sunglasses and Straw Hats.”

Because we wouldn’t want the fanatical, hard-line, zealot family to blend in with the crowd!

 

 

So you see, dumb ads are everywhere around us.  You simply must take a good look and soak them in.

I’ll be sure to keep my eyes peeled to share any goofy stuff and I encourage you to do the same.

Happy shopping.
