From a Seinfeld episode:
JERRY: You know at the movies, they show that little ad for the concession
stand?
ELAINE: Where the cartoon candy's dancing and the Milk Dud's playing the
banjo?
JERRY: He's wailing on that banjo.
ELAINE: Yeah.
JERRY: I just don't understand the raisinettes.
ELAINE: The sax player?
JERRY: Yeah.
ELAINE: Yeah.
JERRY: The box of raisinettes runs up to the concession stand, buys another
box of raisinettes.
ELAINE: So?
JERRY: Box of raisinettes eating another box of raisinettes? It's perverse.
ELAINE: HE's not gonna eat them. He's buying 'em for his Pepsi girlfriend.
JERRY: Why's he dating a Pepsi? They're not having children.
ELAINE: He's a musician.
JERRY: Musicians. Get a real job.

"Experience the eating of my legs! They are teared off and put in cups!"
Now, that's a squid dance.
My favorite is nothintolose's neighbor: Boudreaux's BBQ. There's something wrong about riding the pig before you kill, cook and eat it. We used to take them to the McDonald's drive through in the back of the truck for a last supper. That is, until McDonald's stopped giving away stale burgers to livestock due to health concerns - the pig's.

I don't know how I end up at some of these sites. That one really caught my eye though as it's something I had never thought much about. Quite disturbing especially if you are the one coming up with the advertising.
Edit
Don't want to threadjack but this another fun site to waste your time:
