10 Hilarious Posts From Advertising's Funniest Instagrammer

10 Hilarious Posts From Advertising's Funniest Instagrammer | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it
From www.adweek.com - January 5, 2016 10:12 PM
You might think Instagram is all about photography. Not so, says David Kolbusz.


"Instagram is a writer's medium," the creative director declares at the top of his feed. And he makes a good case for that with his posts—a hodgepodge of everyday shots brought to life with hilariously twisted, ranty, profanity-laced captions. 


Kolbusz frequently tees off on society's ills, harboring a particular distaste for idiotic technological "advancements." (Recent recurring targets include selfie sticks and hoverboards.) But some of the best posts are almost like short stories, as Kolbusz invents a whole ludicrous backstory to the image presented. Check out a handful of our favorite posts below....

Here's what Instagram can be if you're creative.

Take this quiz to find out what social media channel you are, and share the results with the world. You might be surprised to find that you’re more Instagram than you thought!
Jeff Domansky's insight:

A little fun in this social quiz.

My result from this quiz was Twitter. The one line description they provided me to explain why was “I love the fast life,” and I couldn’t agree more. Twitter is exciting in that the content allowed is minimal so it forces the tweets to be short and to the point… which is how I try to tailor my everyday interactions. It also combines everything in that there are pictures, short texts and links to interesting articles if you wanted to dive deeper than just the 140 character description. It went through a series of 7 questions which I thought were accurate for which social media channel they were trying to figure out suits me best. Those questions were… 1) Do you like to read? 2) Do you know what a hashtag is? 3) What is your favorite thing to do on social media? 4) What describes your personality best? 5) How voyeuristic are you (rate your creeper level)? 6) What type of ‘sharer’ are you? And lastly, 7) What are you favorite apps and games?

Vatican offers 'time off purgatory' to followers of Pope Francis tweets

Vatican offers 'time off purgatory' to followers of Pope Francis tweets | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it
From m.guardian.co.uk - July 17, 2013 3:20 AM

In its latest attempt to keep up with the times the Vatican has married one of its oldest traditions to the world of social media by offering "indulgences" to followers of Pope Francis' tweets.The church's granted indulgences reduce the time Catholics believe they will have to spend in purgatory after they have confessed and been absolved of their sins....

Jeff Domansky's insight:

Is it the silly season or what? Say three RTs and fav me may be the foundation for the Vatican's new social media strategy. Or not.

'Alex From Target' Proves Point That Sometimes There Isn't Any

'Alex From Target' Proves Point That Sometimes There Isn't Any | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it
From www.mediapost.com - November 6, 2014 9:45 AM

Some Internet memes rely on added sugar and mysterious ingredients to extend their shelf lives, as we discussed yesterday. Others, such as “Alex from Target,” are like French black truffles — not only are they wild, rare and out of the reach of most of us but they also require highly sensitive snouts to root them out.


Let’s get to the nut graf: “It turns out that Alex from Target is not a marketing ploy and he’s an actual, genuine person and bagger,” who just happened to be “fangirled” for his “super hot” looks while doing his job on the line in Texas, TMZ reported with all due exuberance yesterday.


In fact, according to TMZ’s blurb accompanying its video report, “Little Al's employer tells TMZ the Internet phenomenon is 100% genuine grassroots.”Lest you think this story is strictly for the tabloids, consider this revelation from the New York Times’ Leslie Kaufman: “The Alex phenomenon became the subject of news articles on the websites of Time, the Washington Post and CNN over the last two days. TheDallas Morning News tried furiously to confirm just which Target he worked for.”


And that’s nowhere near the half of it....

Jeff Domansky's insight:

As Thom Forbes writes, on the Internet, sometimes there is no point. That's a great point! In fact, that IS the point if you get my drift. This is a classic internet story worth studying.

1994: "Today": "What is the Internet, Anyway?" - YouTube

From www.youtube.com - September 18, 2014 12:01 AM

Some confusion is obvious on the set of NBC's "Today" show, regarding the Internet and the @-sign. This is reportedly footage from between segments that was not originally aired, and apparently dates to January 1994, around the time of the Northridge earthquake (that occurred literally five minutes from where I'm sitting, and which I remember very well indeed). 

Both the video and audio of this clip were in terrible shape when I received it recently -- I've cleaned up both as much as possible, though the quality (especially hue distortion) still definitely isn't anything to write home about.

Don't laugh too hard at Bryant Gumbel and Katie Couric. It's easy to forget how relatively recent a phenomenon the Internet is for most persons who use it today!

Jeff Domansky's insight:

Very funny clip and reminder how far the internet now reaches into our daily lives and business.
