I found this on the icanhascheezburger-owned site "Historic LOLs." It's mostly just regular captions on vintage pictures, but occasionally they post actual vintage ads like this one. Be sure to check it out if you are interested in vintage pictures and ads.

Two Words: Bacon Tree
This video is humorous, but I don't think it would normally be considered Weird Universe material. However, knowing how we all feel about bacon, I couldn't resist posting it here.By the way, I noticed there wasn't a Bacon category, so I took the liberty of adding one.

The Single Greatest Commercial of all Eternity
I don't know the back story behind this, but Burger King does have some of the strangest commercials on television so I'll assume it is real. I don't know what I like more, the brainmeltingly weird plot or the amazing background music, but somehow this commercial is pure genius. Now if only there were a Burger King nearby...

Happy Harry
I recently found out about an animator named Harry Partridge who does bizarre shorts that are perfect Weird Universe material. These two are my favorites, but be sure to go to the Happy Harry Toons YouTube page for more absurdity.
