R U kidding me? The WRONG man?!! WRONG as in NOT THE RIGHT MAN?!! Btw I think it's hilarious, the kind of humor I like. Yes it's simple and probably done before and blablabla but I gave it a 10!

Means what, slobo

Kateter's picture 1816 pencils

well, pardon me if i'm not into movies.
especially Bruce Willis crap.

but at least now I get the idea.
kinda like it.
but this stickers are waaaaaay too difficult to get for general public.

What's so funny about that? An idea i have to pass several day by to get it and then it's not even funny. or is there something i miss?

"The Wrong Man" is Australia's name for the movie "Lucky Number Slevin". I never seen the movie but I'm guessing it has something to do with mistaken identities.

I'm still waiting for someone who says 'hey, that's not John Travolta nor Steven Seagal not the duke of Edinburgh!'

.....
Some of you guys are reading too much into it. (And some of you don't read the "starring..." part)

It's a billboard about the film "The Wrong Man" starring the wrong man.

It works the first time someone passes it, so the 2nd time they pass it and realize it's amended and STILL gotten the man wrong becomes even funnier.

What's not to get about that? It's funny, and anyone who's watched movies in the last 20 years would have gotten it.

biabitch's picture 304 pencils

funny. :)

Other than Mustang Eddy and idt.... yall' are freakin' numb-nuts! What is so hard to understand? And some of you works in ad agencies...your ECD should fire you. For someone who's native language isn't English to understand it in 10sec... proves that numb-nuts like you shouldn't act like keyboard commandos giving out comments like as if you're qualified to. (No, i didn't do the ad)

Criticisms are like A$$hole, everyone have one.

Kateter's picture 1816 pencils

funny how you managed to contradict your statement with your signature.
in one post.
this must be a record.
contacted mr. Guinness already?

Adobe's picture 14 pencils

Hey numb-nut...how did i contradict myself? Did i criticize the ad? NO. I'm talking about numb-nuts like YOU... Ohhh so smart with your "contacted mr. Guinness already?"...go frill yourself.

Criticisms are like A$$hole, everyone have one.

Kateter's picture 1816 pencils

what? so criticizing the people who give their opinion here is not a criticism? what is it then? deep observation? polite advice? philosophical statement? it's pretty obvious you don't have the basics set in order.

besides you seem to be just another dull unimaginative oxygen-wasting creature that just make a crowd everywhere it goes. now don't contact mr. Guinness on this one. there are billions like you out there.

Adobe's picture 14 pencils

Do you have an A$$hole where faeces comes out? (in your case, your mouth too) I have it...so THAT's Criticism. Numb twart like you shouldn't take it too seriously...

I "SEEM to be"? so am i or am i not? Please... stop those intelligent insults of yours, you're tickling me....

Criticisms are like A$$hole, everyone have one.

Kateter's picture 1816 pencils

being you must be really boring.

Wordnerd's picture 5288 pencils

good one :)

doworkson's picture 242 pencils

for the record. this is not funny, it's corny.

Adobe's picture 14 pencils

AND for the record... for frill-tards who thinks making even a single flier is easy should jump off a building. I've been trollin' this place long enough to see many numb-nuts passing comments like as if they've won a Gold Lions but frankly, just a desk clerk pretending to be someone. For anyone who has or still works in an advertising agency (creative department) knows what sort of bull$hit we have to go through to get an idea across... not forgetting to mention frilled-up clients who thinks they are GOD. So unless you have some awards under your belt...sit back and learn.
