I can’t even remember the last time I did a #FunnyFridays blog. But with plenty of hilarious Halloween 2024 commercials at our disposal, it would be a grave injustice to not cover them in our #FunnyFridays segment. And while you can still choose to ignore the brands dishing out those ads, who wishes to be on the wrong side of these funny ghosts? Nobody, right?
So, we are back with yet another #FunnyFridays blog covering 5 hilarious Halloween 2024 commercials that will haunt your funny bone.
1. Snickers: Zombie Twerk
When has Snickers ever gone wrong with its Halloween ad campaign? Never! And this year was no different as it came up with a short yet funny Halloween commercial.
The commercial shows things going humorously wrong when the zombie installation doesn’t quite go as planned. You’d ask what went wrong. Well, let’s just say that instead of its slow, labored walk, the zombie begins to twerk!
So, that’s what happens when you don’t have the Snickers bar when you’re hungry.
2. E.l.f. Cosmetics: Sinfluencer
If you are someone who is easily influenced by social media influencers, this ad is for you. E.l.f. Cosmetics released a funny Halloween commercial that introduces us to the Sinfluencer- a not-so-subtle dig at the influencer culture with a Halloween twist.
The ad shows the Sinfluencer tempting a young woman into committing skincare mistakes, all the while highlighting the beauty trends that are often talked about on social media. The ad is funny and has just the right amount of sass. Also, if you have ever been tempted into committing a skincare sin, this ad will definitely feel a lot more relatable!
3. Philosophy: Movies Should Be Scary, Skincare Shouldn’t Be
Here’s another skincare brand with a unique approach to Halloween advertising campaigns.
The ad featuring Sarah Michelle Gellar begins on a spooky note and builds enough suspense within a matter of seconds as we see Sarah going upstairs, all the while thinking that something scary is about to happen. But then comes the big reveal and we see Sarah downplaying the built-up suspense as the camera turns to the Philosophy skincare product.
Damn these Halloween ads!
4. Uber Eats: Don’t Let Halloween Sneak Up On You
Last-minute Halloween preparations are nothing less than a nightmare. This 30-second Uber Eats highlights how stressful scrambling for candy, costumes, and party supplies at the last minute can be for consumers, albeit in a funny way.
The ad showcases a woman going about her Halloween preparations as she is interrupted by a mummy and ghost from either side. What’s really funny is her reaction to their groans and grunts, which is indicative of how easy it is to deal with last-minute Halloween shopping woes with Uber Eats.
5. Roto-Rooter: Monster House
And here’s my pick for the funniest Halloween 2024 commercial. This Halloween ad by the Ohio-based plumbing company Roto-Rooter shows that a clogged drain can be a nightmare- even for a werewolf, a mummy, and a witch!
The ad shows a monster house inhabited by the creatures mentioned above who engage in a funny banter accusing each other of clogging the drain. The werewolf is the obvious suspect but he claims that the mummy has got hair underneath his wraps.
Well, whosoever it is, at least they don’t have to deal with a clogged drain anymore!
Wrapping Up
And that is a wrap of our #FunnyFridays blog. Halloween commercials always carry an element of humor in them. But the trick is to make it as relatable to everyone as you can like the last advert on this list.
We’ll be back with more wonderful adverts for you. Till then, stay tuned!
