Angry tongues, silent screams, and lounging veggies

Veggies chilling, tongues stabbing, and breath exposed—yep, it’s a wild one.

Welcome back to your daily marketing swipe file. The best ads, served fresh daily, and as tasty as your favorite slice of pepperoni pizza. 🍕 Let’s dig in.

Your startup is scaling fast. Why isn’t your SOC 2?

Fresh at Home

  • What’s happening: This clever ad from Tupperware turns a storage container into a cozy hangout for anthropomorphized veggies. Complete with beanbag-like tomato slices and lounging green beans sipping tea, the characters look hilariously relaxed and preserved. A sticky note on the front reads: “Inside, everything preserves better. #StayHome.”

  • Why it’s awesome: This is playful pandemic-era messaging done right. It’s a perfect metaphor—funny, heartwarming, and sharply on-brand. The concept fuses Tupperware’s core benefit (preservation) with a gentle nod to public health guidance, making it both product-centric and socially relevant. The visual pun hits hard and soft at the same time, which is honestly a rare combo.

Hate Speech Kills

  • What’s happening: This powerful visual from Noiz ONG shows an enraged man screaming at a drag queen. His exaggerated tongue extends like a blade, inscribed with slurs like “fag” and “queer,” morphing into a literal knife aimed at the drag performer’s heart. The message is clear: words, especially when fueled by hate, are weapons—and they kill.

  • Why it’s awesome: This ad doesn’t pull punches. It grabs you with hyper-stylized visuals and makes you feel the violence of hate speech. The surreal illustration turns a metaphor into a gut-punch reality. Instead of a polite PSA, it serves visual truth on a sharp edge, reminding you that intolerance isn’t harmless, it’s deadly. It’s bold, uncomfortable, and exactly the wake-up call the world needs.

If They Had Guessed What You Ate

  • What’s happening: This ad uses minimalism to its advantage. Set against a bold green background, the large white text reads: “IF THEY HAD GUESSED WHAT YOU ATE, THEN—” followed by a dotted line that leads the eye directly to a bottle of Listerine Cool Mint. It drops the mic right there. No punchline needed. The implication is loud and clear: Listerine stops your breath from ratting you out.

  • Why it’s awesome: It’s snarky, subtle, and ultra-confident. The negative space is doing all the work here, letting your brain fill in the punchline, which is exactly why it sticks. Instead of yelling about "24-hour protection" or "kills 99.9% of germs," Listerine just serves you a relatable moment of dread and casually drops the solution. It’s fresh. Literally.

If You Have to Pay, You Are Worthless

  • What’s happening: This provocative visual hits like a punch to the gut. A folded banknote forms the unmistakable shape of female anatomy, placed dead-center against an acid-gradient background. Surrounding it in bold, screaming yellow: “IF YOU HAVE TO PAY, YOU ARE WORTHLESS.” The message? If you pay for sex, you're not just a buyer—you’re complicit in human trafficking, exploitation, and abuse.

  • Why it’s awesome: It doesn’t pull punches—and that’s the point. This ad weaponizes shock to create discomfort, using confrontational visuals and typography to call out complicity. It’s meant to provoke guilt, anger, and conversation. Love it or hate it, you’re not walking away from this one indifferent. And in a sea of safe, polished advocacy, that’s a rare and powerful move.

Be Heard

  • What’s happening: A close-up black-and-white image of a man screaming in anguish fills the frame, but his cry is silent. The tension in his face is visceral. Next to him, a line of copy delivers the punch: “The emergency app that gives deaf people a voice.” It's an ad for Deaf911, a service that enables deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals to reach emergency services.

  • Why it’s awesome: This one hits deep. It’s a bold, minimalist visual with maximum emotional punch. You feel the urgency, the frustration, the helplessness—all in one image. But more importantly, you feel the breakthrough: this app isn’t just technology, it’s empowerment. It’s about reclaiming a right most of us take for granted—being heard when it matters most. A reminder that accessibility isn’t charity—it’s justice.
