Darby Hudson: I write ads and show them to my mum to try and get her to buy things for me

I am an ad person. I draw ads and show them to my mum.
I try to manipulate my mum into buying me things by making ads for her.
I watch Madmen and learned everything I know from Donald Draper.
Here are a few ads I have made for my mum to try and get her to buy things for me.
I have a new Facebook page for them.
Regards,
Darby Hudson
Junior Copywriter from Melbourne.

Is this a joke?
Is this supposed to be funny or clever? Because it’s neither.
You’re a legend Darby. Fuck the haters.
Yes. It’s meant to be a joke. Lighten up dudes. We’re allowed to make fun of ads occasionally.

I suspect it’s meant to be a bit of fun. Remember fun?
What on earth are Jeep thinking? Who approved this ffsake?
No. It is clever. I like.
Funny shit. Nice one!
Pretty funny. Facebook page is funny also.
this is hilarious – approved.
It’s a shame the aussies just don’t quite get humour.
Well done mate, ignore the cocks.
Oh I get it – sorry, I thought this was actually the latest Jeep ad. With some of the random shit coming out for that brand, it wouldn’t surprise me.
Darby, you’re a funny bugger.
Keep up the good work and forget those who have forgotten how to laugh.
Cheers,

Harmless fun.
It’s not we use this blog for “actual serious work stuff” anyway.
Guerilla campaign by Cummins Ross, surely.
actually, it is funny and it is clever. it’s also really ballsy to post something like this on a blog where people will slag you off at the drop of a hat . darby, i don’t know you but you will go far. hang on to that original way of looking at things.
If only more people in advertising were like Darby. It would be a better place.
