I'm not afraid to speak the truth, let the word go forth that Kali killed Chester A. Arthur!

The old chestnut "Germans aren't funny" has been the basis for innumerable ads, but this one for Bank Forum, part of the Commerzbank group, is far more amusing then the usual ones I've seen in the wild:

The florid prose and the CamelCase product name is well matched to the fountain-pen (msrp about $2,000)
This unique pen with its impeccably sleek profile and smooth curves is entirely made in Switzerland, although it looks as if it has just emerged from a NASA lab or from the desk of Major Boothroyd, the iconoclastic inventor of the James Bond accessories. Nonetheless, the sheer purity and simplicity of the design also evoke the golden age of aeronautics, the glorious era of the first Paris-New York flights, spiced up with a dash of Art Deco style. This tribute to third millennium design is a compendium of aesthetic appeal featuring an extremely playful DNA, enriched by the finest expression of the expertise cultivated by RJ-Romain Jerome in the domain of fusing materials.
Moon dust, embodying all human fantasies of exploring the sky, is encapsulated in the cockpit bubble, and the resulting eloquent invitation to escape earthbound reality is interpreted in three different versions : Heavy Metal, Black Metal and Vintage, each adorned with 48 handapplied rivets. To ensure take-off in the best possible conditions, the MoonFighter is protected by a leather pouch and, upon returning from its missions, fits neatly into its carbon-finished docking station.

An ad for the Tag Heuer Micrograph, a wristwatch with a 1/100th Second chronograph module. I think it must be a view into the future, this is what a 8-year-old Terminator gets yelled at for bringing home..."You're making such a mess, it's gonna knock things over and it's getting grease all over the clean grease" Click the picture for a HUGE version, the detail is worth it

Last year, about this time, Cartier put together an ad campaign based on a Panther kitten.; They have revived the campaign as The Winter Tale, with a bit more of a seasonal (read Christmas) slant, but no less cute overload
This seems to be the title-page for the campaign, since there are no actual products depicted
Some ladies wallets and a Baignoire watch, a design from the early 20th century
A mans Ballon Bleu watch, pen, cufflinks and some leatherwork
all pictured from Cartier's site

From the English perfume house of Penhaligon comes this amusing set of ads to go with their slogan "Merchants of attraction since 1870"
First a pair of men's cologne ads

And a matching pair of ladies' perfume ads

My compliments to the design crew at Dye Holloway Murray

From a current campaign for the Eurostar to London
The rest of the campaign is not quite as strange, but amusing
