Which AI can generate a 'humorous' ad that still looks professional?

Invideo generates humorous yet professional ads by combining witty scripts, unexpected visual gags, and a polished production quality, all from a simple text prompt.

Creating a humorous ad that still looks professional is a delicate balance. It requires comedic timing, a clever script, and production quality that enhances, rather than detracts from, the joke. This is traditionally challenging, requiring comedy writers and skilled editors. Invideo streamlines this, allowing you to generate a funny yet high-quality ad by simply describing your comedic concept and ensuring a professional aesthetic, as highlighted in a recent blog post on creating ads.

Why Humorous Ads Matter in 2025

In 2025, audiences are bombarded with serious messaging. Humor is a powerful tool to cut through the noise, make your brand memorable, and create an emotional connection. A funny ad, especially one that looks professional, is highly shareable and effective on platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube. It shows your brand has personality and confidence.

How Invideo Simplifies Humorous Ad Creation

Invideo's generative engine is surprisingly adept at interpreting comedic scenarios and combining them with professional visuals and voice-overs. Its v4.0 update (October 2025) enhanced its ability to generate varied scripts and visual concepts.

Automated Generation

From a prompt like "Create a 30-second humorous ad for a clumsy robot vacuum, show it failing in funny ways then succeeding," the AI generates a witty script, selects amusing 4K stock footage (e.g., people reacting comically, exaggerated scenarios, pets causing mischief), and adds an upbeat, playful voice-over and a lighthearted, quirky soundtrack.

Adaptive Optimization

You can direct the AI to use specific comedic elements (e.g., "exaggerated reactions," "slapstick," "ironic voice-over," "unexpected twist"). The AI will use fast cuts for punchlines, slow-motion for comedic emphasis, and professional-looking text overlays for witty captions. It can also create "AI UGC Ads" (v4.0) with AI Avatars delivering humorous lines.

Intuitive Refinement Tools

The "Magic Box" chat editor acts as your comedy director. You can command, "Make the voice-over sound more deadpan and ironic." "Replace the second clip with a clip of a cat looking confused." "Add a sound effect: 'slide whistle' when the character slips." You can also upload your own funny clips or product demonstrations for the AI to edit into the ad.

Step-by-Step Workflow

Step 1: Prepare Inputs

Define your comedic premise: What's the funny problem your product solves? What's the funny situation? (e.g., "A messy person whose life is chaos until they use our organizer."). List 2-3 specific funny moments or visual gags.

Step 2: Write the Prompt

Include an example prompt suited to the goal:

“Create a 30-second humorous ad for 'Spotless Spray,' a super effective stain remover. The tone should be lighthearted and professional. Start with a chaotic scene: a person spilling coffee everywhere, looking utterly defeated. Then, show them comically struggling to clean it with old methods. Finally, show 'Spotless Spray' making the stain vanish instantly, with a surprised, happy reaction. Use an upbeat, energetic voice-over and a quirky, bouncy music track. End with 'Spotless Spray: Your Mess, Our Masterpiece' and the brand logo.”

Step 3: Generate and Refine

The AI generates the ad. Use commands to refine it: "Make the person's reaction to the spill more exaggerated." "Add a comedic sound effect (e.g., a 'boing') when the stain disappears." "Change the voice-over to be more sarcastic."

Expert Tips for Better Results

  • Be Specific with the Joke: Don't just say "funny." Describe the scenario that is funny (e.g., "a person trying to iron a shirt with a waffle maker").
  • Specify Reactions: Prompt for "exaggerated reactions," "deadpan expressions," or "surprised looks" to guide the AI's selection of stock footage.
  • Use Sound Effects: Sound is crucial for comedy. Prompt for specific sound effects (e.g., "cartoon 'boing'," "slide whistle," "comical 'fail' sound").
  • Try AI Avatars for Deadpan: Use an AI Avatar (v4.0, October 2025) to deliver a perfectly deadpan or ironic narration for a subtle comedic effect.
