Funny Ideas to Brand on Promotional Items

Last Updated: 17 April 2026

Key Points

• Funny designs make promotional items more memorable and more likely to be kept.
• Simple ideas like puns or playful graphics (especially animals) work well across different audiences.
• We suggest adding humour where it fits your brand—it helps people connect with your business faster.

Funny animals are taking over the world. It seems that everywhere you look nowadays there is some form of funny animal compilation making you laugh. From YouTube videos to whole television channels dedicated to our furry friends, it’s easy to see why they are so popular.

At Cubic Promote we LOVE animals. Whether it’s an actual living, breathing cat, an animal shaped stress toy or even a fun animal pen, we just can’t get enough.
