The famous example is the spoonerism (after Reverand William Archibald Spooner): "Pardon me, madam; you are occupewing my pie." He intended to say "Pardon me, madam; you are occupying my pew"; however, many consider the attribution to Spooner apocryphal. There are other examples, and other kinds of humorous misuse, that other contributors can add. I am assuming that the sentences can be original and don't have to be documented examples. The link includes some other really humorous spoonerisms.
In my freshman year of secondary school I wrote a paper; the topic is long forgotten. My masterpiece included this sentence: "A brief excrement from the article is included here." Of course, I meant to say 'excerpt'.
There are uses of words, like the 'excerpt' above, called malapropisms, after the character Mrs. Malaprop in R. B. Sheridan's 1775 comedy The Rivals. Malapropisms involve using real and unaltered words (unlike spoonerisms) that sound like or are similar to other words, but the malapropisms are outrageously wrong in context. The examples from Merriam-Webster: "He always said polo bears and Remember Pearl Island and neon stockings." [malaprops for polar bear, Pear Harbor and nylon stockings]
If you enjoy Richard Dean Anderson's character in Stargate SG-1 television series, Jack very frequently comes out with hilarious malapropisms, usually associated with his not quite 'getting' the pronunciation of an alien or technical term. I may not be recalling this exactly right. The Tokra want the Stargate program's help uncovering very dangerous individuals called Zokar. These are humans who are under the complete control of brainwashing technology used on them by the Goa'uld. After hearing the explanation, Jack says something like: "So, we can stop these... Zantac, right?" You get the idea. Anderson's delivery of these malaprops is flawless, and they are always unexpected, excellent writing, or brilliant ad libs.
