Discussing Question

Ad trends?

According to a 2011 Nielson survey, American consumers prefer funny advertisements - and talk about them with friends and family more often than other types of ads (Garun, 2012). Consider some of the "big" commercial hypes of the past few years, are more of these commercials funny than not? What other trends in advertising do you notice? Reference
