Each of these print ads depict a wild animal in its natural habit, be it a forest or a safari,looking completely natural but for a [highly stylized, Victorian-esque moustache](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/premium-grooming-brand) plastered on its face. A [grizzly bear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bear-fight-whiskey-ad) is shown with a full beard and moustache, a water buffalo is shown with a full-on circus ringmaster facial 'do, while a caribou is shown with a hilariously twirly moustache poking up from its muzzle.

With these ads, 180 Amsterdam has demonstrated that advertising, while still a highly competitive business, can indeed have a fun side. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.2/10 - Popularity: 43% | Activity: 15% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Humor](https://www.trendhunter.com/humor) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Animal Advertisements:** The trend for featuring animals in advertisements presents an opportunity for companies to connect with consumers in a humorous and memorable way. - **Humorous Advertising:** The trend for humorous advertisements presents an opportunity for brands to stand out in a highly competitive market. - **Stylized Imagery in Advertising:** The trend for using stylized imagery in advertisements presents an opportunity for companies to create visually stunning and attention-grabbing campaigns. ### Who This Affects Most - **Advertising:** The advertising industry can use animal-themed campaigns to break through the noise and create memorable experiences for consumers. - **Pet Industry:** The pet industry can use stylized animal imagery in advertising campaigns to create an emotional connection with pet owners and highlight their products. - **Barber Industry:** The barber industry can use humorous advertisements featuring animals to attract new customers and showcase their unique services. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Unique Real Facial Hair Billboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dollar-shave-club1.md) - [Anthropomorphic Hair Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hair-ballad.md) - [Humorous Star-Studded Chip Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/call-of-the-mustaches.md) - [No-Nonsense Grooming Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rock-face-makes-scents-campaign.md) - [Creative Ad Responses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kiehls-response.md) - [Humorous Natural Deodorant Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/every-man-jack-still-smell-good.md) - [Playful Hockey Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beard-in-a-box.md) - [Humorous Male-Targeted Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-club-campaign.md) - [Adorable Holiday Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/burberrys-holiday-campaign.md)
