Here’s a VideoSift collective (user-created groups of videos) on some
strange and funny TV commercials:

Homer’s Smarter Brain

Here’s an ad for Intel’s Pentium II processor, titled "Homer’s Smarter Brain," all the way back from 1998.

Captain Kirk’s Bizarre Transporter Accident

What happened when the Enterprise ran out of power? Here’s an ad for a power generating company featuring Captain Kirk of Star Trek in some sort of a transporter malfunction (I won’t tell you what it is, you’ve just got to see the video clip)

If you’ve never seen a Chia Pet, you’ve missed a phenomenal 1980s fad. This is the original ad that made "Ch-ch-ch-chia!" catchphrase so popular.

Chinese Baby Eating Jell-O

You just can’t get away with this kind of racially-insensitive ads anymore, which is why this 1960s Jell-o "chinese baby" ad is fantastic!

Robbing a Sperm Bank

This funny commercial for Charoen Optical in Thailand features a gang of nearsighted thieves trying to rob a bank but broke into a sperm bank. You can guess what happened next!
