rant about elevator advertisements

There’s ads in the elevator in my building that always try to make jokes about the fact that you are in an elevator, as if you are gunna be like WHOA HOW DID THAT AD KNOW I WAS IN AN ELEVATOR!??!?

That’s the whole premise of every single elevator ad - it has to refer to an elevator. They get so hung up on referring to you being in an elevator that they forget to actually make sense or be funny.

The one I just read said “Unlike this elevator, Microsoft Cloud has no maximum load.”

L!OLLO!LLLLLL!!11

GET IT?

Cos it has no maximum load, but the elevator has a maximum load.

And you are in an elevator.

Ohhhhh, at first  I was like “What? I don’t get it…” but then I remembered I was in an elevator and literally couldn’t stop laughing and shitting myself simultaneously.

Dah, I just get so angry that someone actually got paid to come up with that… Paid by Microsoft, no less! I mean, it’s not even a joke. It’s not even a thing!

I don’t know when it happened, but every ad seems to require a pun or some kind of word play or at the very least something resembling humor. What happened to the good old days of just pointing out how good your product is?

It would make more sense if it just said “Microsoft Cloud has no maximum load. That’s pretty amazing, right? You should buy it for your company.”
