10 Funniest Comic Advertisements

3. Snickers

Snickers Doomsday Ad
DC Comics/Snickers

Initially, the idea of advertising Snickers in comics doesn’t seem that weird. With junk foods like Mountain Dew and Doritos often being advertised specifically at gamers, it makes sense that others would try to corner the comic side of the market.

No, it’s the way that Snickers are advertised in comics that makes it especially weird. The Snickers adverts use characters from the actual comic involved, but with Snickers also entering the universe, leading to such unexpected beauty as a panel of Doomsday staring bewildered at a candy bar.

Having Snickers randomly pop into a comic at its most intense moment is maybe the biggest hype killer possible. However, the potential for a supervillain being appeased with the chocolate bar in actual canon is now real enough you can’t help but be a little excited.

I like my comics like I like my coffee - in huge, unquestionably unhealthy doses.
