After watching this commercial, you can't help but be a little sad that it doesn't air over in North America too because [the ad is so funny](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moist-humor). The Nova Drive Show ad basically depicts one of the hosts on his way to the office, displaying everything he comes across. The ad ends with his shirtless roommate referring to the radio station saying, "Everything is on show." The ad aired in July, 2009 and the Nova Drive Show has advertising agency Three Drunk Monkeys to thank for it and two other similarly filmed [television spots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monday-platform). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.3/10 - Popularity: 31% | Activity: 89% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Humor](https://www.trendhunter.com/humor) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Radio Show Advertising:** Opportunity for radio shows to create humorous and attention-grabbing ads like the Nova Drive Show. - **Viral Marketing:** Utilizing funny and shareable content, such as testimonial ads, to increase brand awareness and reach a wider audience. - **Creative Ad Campaigns:** Exploring innovative and unique ways to promote a brand or radio show, like using unconventional filming techniques as seen in the Nova Drive Show commercials. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Advertising:** Advertising agencies could specialize in creating humorous and memorable commercials for radio shows and other media platforms. - **Entertainment:** Entertainment industry professionals can leverage viral marketing and creative ad campaigns to promote radio shows, movies, TV shows, and more. - **Media Broadcasting:** Radio stations and media broadcasters can adopt new and creative advertising strategies to attract more listeners and increase engagement. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Humorous Menswear Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mens-wearhouse.md) - [Humorous Automotive Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/where-have-you-been.md) - [Comedic Cruise Spots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/its-different-out-here.md) - [High-Frequency Radio Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/morrisons-ad.md) - [Nostalgic Long-Form Infomercials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mint-mobile-mintfomercial.md) - [Humorous Mens Fragrance Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/axe-campaign.md) - [Humorous Natural Deodorant Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/every-man-jack-still-smell-good.md) - [Humorous Hotel Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marriott-bonvoy-x-mercedes.md) - [Puppet-Starring Oat Milk Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-norm-al-show.md)
