This billboard from Detour Sunglasses nails the art of grabbing attention. With the line “We want to sit on your face (respectfully),” it's funny, cheeky, and 100% memorable.
Why It Works
- Humor stops people mid-scroll or mid-drive
- A clever double meaning makes you think and smile
- The brand name and URL are clear and easy to recall
- It fits the brand’s playful personality
- It sparks word-of-mouth and social sharing
Examples
- Liquid Death’s edgy slogans use shock humor to build brand identity
- Dollar Shave Club’s viral launch video mixed jokes and clear value
- Oatly’s billboards use self-aware humor like “Wow, no cow!” to stand out
Smart humor + brand clarity = billboard gold.
