20 Comical Smartphone Ads

From Smartphone Smackdown Commercials to Smartphone Brawl Videos

— July 31, 2013 — Tech
With the variety of different cellphone models and phone companies available for users to choose from, the competition to attract new clients is continuously rising, and these comical smartphone ads are some creative tactics being used in order to sway buyers into paying attention.

While every new generation of mobile phone often features similar high-tech qualities such as a touchscreen and a top-of-the-line camera, retailers have to provide more than just a description of the phone in order to stand out amongst its competitors. These comical smartphone ads have utilized inventive techniques such as flash mobs, candid camera moments and humorous brawl situations in order to create a fun and exciting theme around these mobile devices.

From secretive santa cellphone ads to dragon-dodging cellphone ads, these comical smartphone campaigns will definitely have viewers laughing out loud at these humorous themes and situations.
