I don't get them on PC or mobile. I use Google Chrome on my PC and Firefox on my phone.
This website has had some...weird adds.

Google Ads are nearly always based on a profile Google has built up of you and you can actually see what they think you're interested in and correct them if they're wrong.
It's pretty useful to see this stuff anyway honestly, helps you keep on top of the kind of data Google have on you. I usually turn it all off because frankly it only stands to benefit Google and make them $$$ off of my data, which they collected for free.
If you have ad personalisation turned off (which plenty of people do - but it's not off by default) then you'll be entered into the wild west of ads, where the most context they have to go off of is the site you're currently browsing, so it makes sense in that case that there'd be an ad based on buying bells on an Animal Crossing forum.
Hey on a side note don't forget you can always see the activity log that Google uses to suggest ads to you and clear it up any time you like!

The ads I'm seeing on here are related to online shopping or shopping in general, while not Animal Crossing related they aren't unsatisfactory ads.

It's "ad" not "add"

i got an ad with Christ on it saying to “join and be welcomed to salvation”. strange because although i am catholic i had never searched/ spoken about religion to where it may have recommended me such a thing. i think its totally random

The only adds I ever get here and the only banner adds I usually get elsewhere are for CEX, a British video game store. They're trying to sell me several switch games, namely The Princess Guide and Saints Row The Third (which I do actually want).

omfg that is wild I have never seen an ad in a foreign language before!!
So I tried a couple translations and I'm basically getting this:
Gift photo album of Jerusalem
Images of Jerusalem - best photos.
Do you care about Jerusalem?
KKL-JNF provides you the opportunity to get a unique present.
So ya KKL-JNF wants you to buy some photos of Jerusalem
