* Creator/DavidLynch has expanded his surreal directorial skills to encompass TV ads. Among the strangest are [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vor65mNB8Uk this cigarette ad]] (was apparently filmed backwards, involves two guys in [[TheFifties Fifties]] attire using magic powers on a pile of fish), [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mABW_91c_Xk this teaser]] for Music/MichaelJackson's "Dangerous" (some red desert landscape and a fiery geyser feature in it), and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=msMehuZo3x8 this ad]] for the UsefulNotes/PlayStation2 (guy walks down a hall with a lot of weird and creepy stuff happening).

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Kwg4esaWbs This]] commercial for Charmin Ultra Soft toilet paper. We have a blue cartoon bear giving a Barry White-esque serenade to his girl bear. He then reaches over... and grabs some toilet paper. He proceeds to rub it all over him. Insert spiel about how awesome the toilet paper is. He then passes the toilet paper to the girl bear, who then proceeds to rub it all over him while they look at each other amorously. It's safe to assume that furry toilet paper fetish foreplay ensued.

** RC Cola Philippines [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQlA9YJUro0&ab_channel=RCColaPhilippines does this again]]: a woman goes home after a birthday party of the son of her friend named Nenet, and when her husband asked the food she brought, she [[{{Hammerspace}} churns out]] [[BagOfHolding from her small bag]] some meals, ''a wok of cooked stir-fried noodles'', ''a pot of cooked rice'', ''a full-size roasted pig'', ''the confused son of the woman's friend'', ''a clown'', ''a singer impersonating legendary Filipino ballad singer Sharon Cuneta'', and [[MyFriendsAndZoidberg a bottle of RC Cola]]. The family then continued their party, and on the stinger, ''Nenet went out from the bag'', asking the people on the table if they have seen her son Jun-Jun.

The gang then continued their party, and on the stinger, ''another woman went out from the bag'' asking the partygoers if they have seen her son (the schoolboy in question).

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hXWj5BK7evM&ab_channel=RCColaPhilippines This]] Filipino RC Cola commercial shows a boy revealed to have drinking glasses on his back, while her mother is revealed to ''have a bottle of RC Cola as a hidden head''. What's more insane is that it is revealed to be at first as a tear-jerking ad about the boy asking his mother about his real parentage.

* The "Find Your Frappuccino" commercials from Starbucks.

** And then there's [[http://www.retrojunk.com/content/commercial/35777/index/ this one]], which aired in Japan.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydVbrRhxnF8 This]] Sprite ad. Apparently they're trying to do subliminal messaging...?

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eIXhKZU7-bo&feature=player_embedded This]] acid-trip-like advert for a Russian clothing store (somewhat NSFW).
* ''Many'' commercials from Japanese TV are made of this trope. Apparently one acceptable tactic Japanese marketeers typically use on the unsuspecting public is to ''confuse'' the viewers into submission.

* Old Spice. "The Man Your Man Could Smell Like" series is bizarre, but still clear in the presentation of its thesis. "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QAAsamEoWmk The Heart of a Champion]]," however, is sheer insanity.
