50 Innocent Things That Seem Suspicious To The Rest Of Us
Things that make you go hmmm....
In the world of advertising and marketing, there are moments when funny coincidences take center stage, leaving us to wonder if they were truly coincidental or carefully orchestrated. It's those instances when an ad features an ambiguous slogan or a product placement so poorly arranged that it becomes a joke in itself. In such moments, you can't help but think that the people in charge must have known exactly what they were doing.
Indeed, many times, they do. Some advertisers and marketers are well aware of the humorous or eyebrow-raising elements in their campaigns and choose to embrace them wholeheartedly. These moments of subtle, or not-so-subtle, wit often find their way onto the internet's playground of humor and irony—the subreddit aptly named 'They Knew.'
'They Knew' is a corner of the internet where users come together to share and celebrate these instances of intentional humor in advertising and marketing. From suggestive slogans that push the boundaries of decency to product placements that leave us scratching our heads,
'They Knew' serves as a repository for some of the most amusing and cleverly orchestrated marketing moments. In this curated collection, you'll find examples that span a wide spectrum of humor.
Some may make you chuckle, while others will have you laughing out loud. It's a testament to the creativity and boldness of advertisers who are unafraid to take risks and deliver content that stands out in a crowded marketplace.
