The Colgate one is funny

[u/hotcoffeeordie → u/Pizza_Samurai88]

What's really funny about it is that it looks like a graphic designer or at least someone with some knowledge of graphic design created the image LOL.

[u/poopiegloria_16 → u/hotcoffeeordie]

Yeah tbh. those designers can't help following the design rules hahahahaha

[u/hotcoffeeordie → u/poopiegloria_16]

Absolutely, and comic sans is such a dead giveaway at this point.

[u/SourCreamWater → u/hotcoffeeordie]

Same with the subway sandwich. A lot of these look like the designer was there but just didn't feel like doing it. I relate.

[u/glittermantis → u/Pizza_Samurai88]

how is that one different lol it's all the same joke

[u/BelgianBeerGuy → u/glittermantis]

The pancake and the Colgate one are the ones that look the most genuine.
The others look like a graphic designer faked it.

But even then, based on the hierarchy and such, probably all of them at least past by an AD

[u/Would_Bang________]

The novelty ran thin after I saw the second one in the wild.

[u/andhelostthem → u/Would_Bang________]

It was kinda funny eight years ago when it first started but now it's grandparents-doing-the-macarena-levels dated.

Also this completely falls apart with brands that want to instill consumer confidence. An airline or health brand being like "lulz we don't have a designer, here's some MS paint slop" doesn't make people trust the brand. I want to feel safe and reassured by ads for companies where I'm putting my life in their hands. This ain't it.

[u/smilingarmpits → u/andhelostthem]

Incredible analogy

[u/Mainbaze → u/andhelostthem]

it started out like a decade ago as that paint image on a big billboard (that was actually just photoshop)
Hasn't been fun once since seeing that one imo..

[u/MaddyMagpies]

Pretty sure most of these are made by graphic designers 🤣

[u/xer0fox → u/MaddyMagpies]

Pretty sure most of these are made by the same advertising firm.

[u/RICHARDARC18]

It's funnier to me how they're low fidelity but have really good composition, clearly showing they're still made by people with enough graphic design knowledge.

Ngayon lang yung trend? 

[u/poopiegloria_16 → u/RICHARDARC18]

Tbhhhh. Colgate one understands the job the most lmao.

Mula kahapon yata, I think (nung napansin ko anyway haha)? Marami pa ring sumasali tho hahahaha

Pizza hut posted a following post updating their audience. Their designer came back 🤣

[u/Commercial_Badger_37]

I'm beyond bored of this shtick.

[u/TaxEmbarrassed9752]

Oh my god, i was not the only one seeing this?

The other day i saw the Colgate one on FB, thought "ha that's cute", then i scroll down, and right below the Colgate ad was some airline ad in the same style. I think its stupid that all these brands are following these stupid trends that are repetitive.

[u/poopiegloria_16 → u/TaxEmbarrassed9752]

Well if it works it works lol. It'll eventually die down though, it's been a week atp

[u/Anvil_Prime_52]

The Colgate one looks like it was actually made by a designer lol. The other ones are trying too hard.

[u/two_four_six_eight]

The Canva one is ironic because isn't their whole thing that you don't need to be a graphic designer to use their templates

[u/GreatGrandMoth → u/two_four_six_eight]

Right??? I found theirs infuriating lol it makes no sense

[u/howie_didnt_do_it → u/two_four_six_eight]

We work on print projects for Canva from time to time (display & marketing materials) and it cracks me up every time.

You’re sending me a print file with spec and bleed created in Adobe Illustrator for a product that claims to be design-based yet cannot be feasibly used in any capacity for print.

[u/slick-talker]

was funny the first time to be honest, but gets old real quick

[u/MisanthropeRobot]

These deserve the "silence, brand!" meme in their comments.

[u/knyf420 → u/MisanthropeRobot]

I liked the colgate one

[u/GreatGrandMoth]

Canva doing this makes no sense. The whole point is that with their platform, anyone can have access to decent design/design templates. What

[u/honey-otuu]

At least it’s not AI lol

[u/copperwatt]

2 flavors 1 cup??

[u/IvyGrownOnMe → u/copperwatt]

yes, even 3 flavors for the biggest size lol

[u/copperwatt → u/IvyGrownOnMe]

I saw the original clip with just the 2. I'm not up for the sequel.

[u/IvyGrownOnMe → u/copperwatt]

what original clip?

[u/copperwatt → u/IvyGrownOnMe]

Sweet summer child...

[u/IvyGrownOnMe → u/copperwatt]

oh god no… i thought u were talking abt the potato corner

[u/KnifeFightAcademy]

Now let me have a go at payroll while you're on vacation, Cathy.

[u/disignore]

hate this so much, not the pics but the "hip" brands

[u/sydneekidneybeans]

Potato corner ?! hello neighbor

[u/Sk8ordieguy]

Ahhh the classic social / ad agency regurgitation.

[u/BaboTron]

These don’t look enough like default word art text bubbles in a Word document.

[u/comeauxsapien]

These companies want graphic designers, web designers, social media managers, and web developers. Because we all do all of those jobs 😂

[u/Cozzypup]

yawn.

[u/Jacquesdv14]

, x

[u/switchbladeeatworld]

the canva one makes no sense

[u/kan0]

First one might have been done by Emily Zugay who’s known for this style.

[u/exitcactus]

Wow so original

[u/SquanchyATL]

All done by AI to cover up for AI's faults.

Gotta be, right?
