    Hi there,

    I'm looking for a bit of inspiration for a banner campaign and a laugh. Have you seen any really funny or creative banner ads lately?

    LOL Brilliant perry...

    Id go one further though .. keep that one in mind....

    A blank banner...
    Few seconds - Little man appears
    Little man walks off..
    Comes back , "Shussh" - "follow me... "

    Sorry im tired .. My ingenuity stops there :0)

    We've added a page of free flash banners recently. We will happily customize them in return for a link. They are quite striking and different so they may be worth a look.

    That depends upon what the ad/banner is for, isnt it !

    But for an example, assume you are creating a banner ad for a traffic exchange site: this wud probably attract attention (the banner has to be little big i guess :) )

    A traffic cop on a crossing surrounded with 10s of cars all honking and the poor cop is just looking freaked out with hands on ears to prevent noise and the tag line below goes like "We will bring you so much traffic that you would get sick of it" :D

    It's less of a book more of a picture book. In the sense that you look through and get ideas. I have about 6 for print advertising and they are amazing inspiration.

    :D

    I put in "Left Blank" because I changed my mind on the original post. It would not have helped him.

    Wanna hear something really funny? I got a warning from one of the mods for doing that. lol

    Uh-oh, look out!

    Sorry about that, Cypherus. :)

    However, today I did type in "funny banner ads," and it brought up a lot of sites that have them.

    The search engines are your fweeeeeind. Use 'em.

    Here's one..

    I am honestly more likely to click on an add like that than something big and flashy telling me to "buy this now".

    I'm not much of an idea man, but try and think outside the box.
