Eventually your brain turns to mush and you're just stuck with an ahegao face.
it originally said nuts, didn't it
that's a femboy, isn't it
Wholesome and gay is my favourite combination of content
Im not sure if richard is a guy anymore
the followup comics were way more wholesome than I expected, thanks for the source!
The only female m&m was green sooooo
Nah, pretty sure it is a drawing.
So it can be whatever you want it to be.
What the fuck how come someone drew my absent father in their comic?!?
Damn, your dad's hot dude.
He's back from buying that packet of M&M's
Is this an advertisement?
It's only an advertisement if you're suddenly craving M&Ms and you cannot resist the urge to go out and buy M&M's right now.
I know this is a joke, but advertising doesn't try to make you buy something immediately. The goal of all advertising is to put the brand name into your memory, because when you do want something, you are statistically more likely to make a decision to buy from a brand you recognize or have seen more recently. It's a subconscious thing.
Like, if you did go to the store for chocolate, seeing m&ms in an ad shortly before increases the likelihood you will choose that over some other chocolate you haven't heard of or know of but don't hear often.
That being said, this absolutely is a type of ad for m&ms, called gorilla marketing, where product names are present in otherwise unrelated content. Though it may not be intentionally placed by Mars themselves, it's still a type of ad.
You're right, I come to Lemmy to relax and to not have to think too hard but advertisers know this and it makes me uneasy to know that corporations know where people go to relax and they will advertise to us any possible way they can. So this post up there looks like it comes from some cartoonist with Instagram and TikTok and Facebook links, most certainly hired out by Mars M&M company to make a subtle ad that looks like a cartoon. By the way this cartoon doesn't even make any sense. It's just "sexiness sells, insert product placement."
For what it's worth, this isn't the original comic. In the original, the last panel said "because blue m&ms come with nuts" insinuating she's got a dick. You can even see the bulge in the first panel. It's a little vulgar for a company to commission directly. But it still could have been
gorilla marketing
*Guerilla Marketing
I forget they're separate words
Nah now I'm craving nuts
I'm eating then right now
Most of this sub is ads from what I can tell
Definitely! We all as a community need to clean this place up, just as clean as Ajax will make your home! Buy today!
This is gay erasure /s
Gay Erasure? Interesting name for a cover band.
He is asking for a taste of that chocolate, I don't think he's allergic to it
I liked it better when she had a penis
Yourjokebutworse
I don't get it. Would make sense if it were the one with nuts.
Lads. It's a fucking shit post. I'm not advertising m&ms to y'all.
The wild part is that you (unintentionally) are! Ironic adverts ate still adverts.
Like, I still laughed. Funny haha meme. Still acts as an ad, though
