It’s been a long time since we posted Part I of the “Deceiving Billboard Ads“. Many of you have already forgotten my promise about making the sequel, but luckily I haven’t. In the same manner I’m keeping all of your emails, comments, suggestions and submissions in the back of my head, preparing space and surroundings for their implementation - in the right moment, when the time comes.
Today’s compilation holds some of the most original, and creative advertisements I have ever seen. Making a specific post for each wouldn’t be very “topical”, but exhibiting them as a collection makes sense. I hope these 22 images together have enough illusionary in them to be part of this site. I would like to hear your comments, and opinions which one is the best. This post comes just in the right time for me to announce that the Billboards Category has finally been completed. I have updated it will all the recent billboard articles, related icons and targeted descriptions. Feel free to browse all of our Optical Illusion Billboards up to date, and please report if you encounter any broken links.

the one with all the girls would freak me out, one of them should at least be into it or somethin. lol.
It is really difficult to choose. There are a lot of great ones here. I like the drinking and driving ones. I think they would be really effective, but I have to say my favorite is the shark on the bus.
really amazing!!!!!!!!
the one with a bunch of girls looking at me would really freak me out as well with a guy with that wierd towel.
i really liked most of them but i didn’t understand some of the ones near the beginning.
This is my favorite submission of all…they are all so great!
I don’t get the second. What is ”Royal”?
the one with the subaru cars blows my mind…what?!
I have to say that the FedEx/UPS one is my favorite, but the smoking one on the back of the bus is brilliant. The drinking and driving ones would be really effective I think.
While I enjoy it, my gut tells me that the FedEx / UPS one has got to be fake. FedEx just wouldn’t do that.
i don’t get the one with the upside down cars on the semi. what is the ad supposed to be?
I have to say the FedEx/UPS one is my favourite I’m afraid.
Don’t understand how the Subaru lorry works / was done, not even superglue. Wife says they drive them on like that… She is short sighted though!
I’m loving the FedEx one! What an innocent and competitive and effective message it sends across - unless of course you can’t/don’t use FedEx.
those are really sweet. and its posts like this that i keep checking for.
they are provocative, simple, and ingenious.
maybe i should get me one of those towels.
; )
I really like them all, but can anybody see what it says on the bathroom one? The one with the legs? It would’ve been akward if it wasn’t an illusion O_o
these are crazy!!! i love them all
i like the subarus most.
“They stick to the road.”
hahaha
hope, they don´t provoke an accident.. ;-)
some of those are pretty funny, they are all very nice though. interesting ideas. I liked the drinking & driving ones the best, they were pretty realistic.
The Subaru one is cool, i’ve seen one of them, its supposed to be advertising road handleing or suspension or something. The do actually drive with them attached like that, not sure how they load/unload them though, must need a crane.
Absolutely brilliant - loved the Imprezza and Fed Ex in particular
Fantastic. I don’t get how all the billboard advertising around is so good, yet sooo many ads on TV are just crap.
I particularly like the subaru one, I just can’t see how it’s done. My guess would be that the lower cars are just an image printed on the truck, but I can’t see it. Maybe I just have to get me some of that subaglue
Some are very clever, others are sexually suggestive and not suitable for a site which children may be viewing. Would the authors be happy for their children to view these images? Think about it.
Can someone explain the billboard with the woman and boy legs. What’s the message?
And my favorite one is the one with the girls in the restroom and the one advertising to get up and run.
I for one would be happy to let my children see all the images on this site. These ads are very creative, kudos to the editors for spreading these highly artistic ads. I hope my children are inspired by these ads to become artists!
These are great ads but it is highly unlikely that you will ever see any of them in public. Agencies produce these (I don’t know for certain that these are are, but it my guess that a great number of them are) ads solely for the purpose of winning awards and most times the client doesn’t actually pay for any of the work hours that goes into them. The ads will then only ever appear once in situ so that they are then eligible to be entered into the various awards shows.
Its a shame, because a lot of this work is excellent (some are a bit of a scam though) but most clients wouldn’t approve stuff like this.
awesome!
The “drunk people” in the bathroom are for South Africa’s arrive alive campaign - absolutely brilliant
I don’t get the one with the plug coming out of the board. could someone explain it to me?
Just explaining the second picture: Royal is a baking powder brand ;)
Liked the watch one, pretty useful to show how to hold those things. And every other one is great too!
LOL
lots of interesting illusion pics! love it <3
super funny and creative
i want the drunken bathroom kids for my own home haha
Those are cool! I definitely want that towels :D
Fun, that buds will work well on a teachers’ chairs :D
OMG that would be so awsome to go to each and every one of these to see them 4 myself!!!
the one with the girls and the uranals id like for there to be a hole for there mouths if you know what i mean
Brilliant collection! Addresses/cities for these would be cool. Anyone seen these in real life?
Wonderfull! I love them. But I think I could do better.
