In March, we’d written about the controversial Ford Figo ads on this blog, a mistimed and insensitive attempt at using humour to increase sales and/ or win an award.
Recently came across this Daihatsu ad from a few years ago that conveyed a similar message but in a manner that was actually funny and cute. The ad was quite well-received at the time, am now wondering whether I should add lack of originality to the Ford Figo communication team’s list of sins – were they just imitating the Daihatsu ad and taking its basic premise a bit further?
In case you have more time, busy reader, you can amuse yourself by taking a look at all the car ads shown in this list of ten best automotive print ads of all time.
Enjoy the holiday, folks.

That ad is the best! Ahahah
It is, isn’t it ?
Though some of the other ads in the list of ten best car ads are rather funny too.
Keep laughing,
