Most of these are good except for Manet’s barmaid. Be warned though, it is one of those corporate ads, trying to be viral. (Hey, at least I warned you.)
You can find the Samsung ad here too.
I always wondered why the Vitruvian Man looked so grumpy

Teenage Ninja Mutant Turtles Go Medieval On Shredder’s Ass
The heroes on a half-shell wise up, and learn to fight crime with their weapons, instead of bad puns. Comedy is saved too!

Pantomime Jaw-Warbler
Albert Ploof was an early pioneer in the field of haberdaeronics, and celebrated throughout Europe, despite the fact that his mother was Jewish and his father was a mime. He entertained throughout the courts of Europe, telling of plans to conquer one of the great mysteries of time — can man fly using only a hat?
After the success of the Wright Brothers in 1903, he was commanded by the Belgian king, Leopold II, to find a way for a man to fly, using only the power of science.
“May I also include a hat?” Ploof asked his king.
“Of course. I thought the hat went without saying. The hat’s fucking OBVIOUS!”
“Excellent, sire.”
This photograph was taken shortly before his inaugural flight — to get better lift, Ploof opted to launch from the highest point in Belgium, the Signal de Botrange. At 718 meters altitude, Ploof believed he would have enough acceleration to fly. Unfortunately, the tower was only six meters high, so all he did was break his legs.

Dominus Vobiscum
After the disastrous Papacy of Benedict XVI, all the secret societies decided to go a different way with the new pontiff.
The Freemasons were keen to start putting their new genetic engineering technology to use, and so create some kind of freakish monstrosity that would be a continued impediment to population control. They were shouted down by the Illuminati, who were excited about the possibilities of having the first artificial pope.
The Priory of Sion and the Jesuits were in agreement a change was in order, but they could not agree on doctrinal issues (though the Jesuits had half a candidate in mind); the Vril Society was totally useless, proposing it was now time to introduce their alien masters to the world in the form of a scaly lizard-like beast called Todd.
The Creeping Dread Society felt it was time for some sort of cephalopod to hold the office, and the Skull and Bones felt that this was Jeb’s time.
In the end, they opted for a mixture of approaches — with considerable help from Sony — and the first RoboPope was introduced to the world.
Alltop hopes to one day be a Bishop of Death, and know the Latin phrase for “The Lord be with you”.

Video dating
“So is it on?”
Voice from off-camera: “Let me check.” [camera shakes slightly] “Yep, you’re good.”
“Okay, so you might not guess this from looking at me, but I’m actually a real sensitive dude. I enjoy art, black and white movies, and listening to the jazz of the twenties and thirties. And I love the ocean.
“Obviously, I’m big into the body modification thing, so if that turns you off, just walk away. I don’t want to waste any time with a woman who wants to –quote– fix me. I used to be into shooting up, but those days are way behind me.
“You should probably know that my work keeps me busy. I have these kids that I need to take care of, and let me tell you, they are a handful. Not to mention all the maniacs trying to kill them.”
[pause]
“I shouldn’t have mentioned that, right?”
Voice from off-camera: “Don’t worry, we can cut that later. We should wrap this up, I think I hear some Splicers coming.”
“Should I mention that I’ve been sterilized?”
Voice from off-camera: “That’s a fourth-date kinda thing, man. Let’s see if anyone can get over the helmet first.”
