Anybody know of a proper term for this kind of humor? Where it's themed as advertising but subverts the purpose of advertising?
It reminds me of this: https://youtu.be/Xc_kFFmDZME
I think it's my favorite kind of humor and I want more.
The post reminded me of the Apple Cabin Foods images by LiartownUSA : https://liartownusa.com/?s=Apple
The whole site is pretty hilarious imo, used to be a tumblr blog a decade+ ago. Kind of reminds me of old-school somethingawful. I read the book they published too, funny stuff but kind of a vulgar, niche sense of humor that's not everybody's cup of tea.
I could not remember the name of Liartown but this post reminded me of them as well. So glad you linked them!
Thanks for sharing! My wife tried to describe the OP image as "advertising absurdism," but I definitely think that label applies better to your link.
