Default Surreal Google Ads

I was having a look at the banned posters thread, where a number had been banned for sock puppetry, and low and berhold the google adverts were for products and services around puppets

Surreal or what

The most surrealistic ad I've seen so far was this pitch for watches, incorporating a plug for insecticide and advanced interociters:
