Sometimes ads do more than just make you want to spend... sometimes they make roll on the floor laughing so much that [[What Were They Selling Again?|you don't even remember what they were selling]].

* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVYxU1OHumM Brett Favre, Super Bowl 2020 MVP] "I should probably retire after this.... I don't know."
* A lot of the more recent Old Spice commercials are hilarious, with their complete unapologetic use of implied [[Testosterone Poisoning]] and deadpan humor, but the best one would have to be their recent [[Super Bowl Special]]: "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=owGykVbfgUE The Man Your Man Could Smell Like]":
{{quote| "''[[Mr. Fanservice|Hello]]'', ladies. Look at your man. Now back to me. Now back at your man. Now ''back'' to ''me''. Sadly, he isn't me. But if he stopped using lady-scented body wash and switched to Old Spice, he could ''smell'' like he's me. Look down. Back up. Where are you? You're on a ''boat'', with the man your man could smell like. What's in your hand? [[Rule of Three|Back at me]]. ''I'' have it. It's an oyster with two tickets to [[Buffy -Speak|that thing you love.]] Look again. [[Large Ham|The tickets are now diamonds!]] Anything is possible when your man smells like Old Spice and ''not'' a lady. [[Breathless Non -Sequitur|I'm on a horse.]]}}

* All this and no mention of [[Stan Freberg (Creator)]], the man who practically invented funny TV commercials?
** The Jeno's Pizza Rolls commercial (which actually got a ''standing ovation'' on ''[[The Tonight Show]]'' when it first aired). [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SE-NdrzfFOo It's available for viewing here.]
** The [[Ray Bradbury]] Sunsweet Prunes commercial, which was pitched to a wary Bradbury as "Brave New Prunes". [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5NxG_rr5aU Watch here.]

'''Stagehand ([[Self -Deprecation|played by Justin Bieber himself]]):''' I dunno, but it kinda looks like [[Satan]]. }}
* The french ads for Kiss Cool from the 90's, "the only candy with a double effect !". Especially with the bunny guy. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dgMiMC_s0VA Part 1] ; [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVHEa8qpSf8 Part 2].

* In a TV ad for IBM, [[Star Trek Deep Space Nine|Avery Brooks]] says, "It's the year 2000, but where are the flying cars? I was promised flying cars!" What sells it is that he's practically channeling Sisko at the time, given his stentorian delivery. Of course, he points out that we don't ''need'' flying cars; we have something better: The Internet!
* Chuck E Cheese's provides us the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZXJvniiFBU Boring Pizza Place] advertisement. [[What Do You Mean It Wasn't Made On Drugs?]] does not begin to describe the zaniness.
