* In July 2007, a bunch of Chilean high school students uploaded a ParodyCommercial, full of InnocentInnuendos, promoting an energy drink called [[https://youtu.be/XTfHtioStrk Tula]] (local slang for penis). It became a meme, and, in March 2019, almost 12 years later, the drink was actually [[https://www.chilevision.cl/matinal/entretencion/bebida-tula-lidero-en-ventas-tras-su-lanzamiento-en-chile launched into the market]].

Added DiffLines:

* If you watch TV late at night, you can see the ordinary Creator/VinceOffer Slap Chop commercial has been replaced by [[https://youtu.be/UWRyj5cHIQA this wonderful gem,]] though, presumably due to rights issues, the bits from ''Film/Breakin2ElectricBoogaloo'' are sadly replaced with some new footage of break-dancers.
** And the other Vince Offer commercial for [=ShamWOW=] towels has been [[https://youtu.be/e2RaChWmSu8 replaced by this.]]
* The Snickers commercial wherein a football player gets a concussion and thinks he's Franchise/{{Batman}} was referenced by [[http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/mlb-big-league-stew/rhymes-faints-getting-hit-arm-pitch-ok-115747725.html Tampa Bay Rays player Will Rhymes]] after he got nailed with a pitch.
* For a long time, the M&M/Mars company ignored the urban legend that green M&Ms are an aphrodisiac. In 1997, they embraced it, introducing the sexy "[[TheVamp Ms. Green]]" character, with the slogan "what is it about the green ones?" In 2008, they began selling [[http://multivu.prnewswire.com/mnr/mars/31278/ bags of all-green M&Ms for Valentine's Day.]]
* {{Creator/Netflix}} began using the tagline "Watch Responsibly" following the running joke about users [[ArchiveBinge Archive Bingeing]] on seasons of certain shows at a time.
* The Advertising/HeadOn headache medicine. The original commercial's [[BrokenRecord repitition of the slogan]] ("[=HeadOn=]! Apply directly to the forehead!") in the commercials annoyed enough people that complaining about it/making fun of became a thing. Cue a year or so later, they had incorporated making fun of the original commercial's reputation for being irritating into the new version.
* For the release of Internet Explorer 9 in 2012, Windows actually started an ad campaign that [[https://youtu.be/4DbgiOCTQts acknowledged]] the rampant jokes about Internet Explorer's uselessness, calling it "The Browser You Love'''d''' to Hate" and [[SelfDeprecation featuring tongue-in-cheek testimonials from people who couldn't believe that IE9 was actually fast and reliable]].
* Ever since TV Land acquired the right to reruns of ''Series/WalkerTexasRanger'', all the commercials they use are basically Chuck Norris Facts, to the extent of "When does Chuck Norris watch ''Walker, Texas Ranger?'' Whenever he feels like it. However, you can catch it now on TV Land!"
* After {{Music/Nirvana}}'s "Smells Like Teen Spirit" became a huge hit, Teen Spirit deodorant used the title as a catchphrase in a commercial.
* At the 2010 Super Bowl, Volkswagen [[https://youtu.be/OzMebRccJF8 ran an ad]] riffing on the long-standing "Punch Buggy" game (where you punch someone every time a VW Beetle goes by and shout out the color). [[spoiler:The ad finishes with Music/StevieWonder [[DisabilitySuperpower of all fucking people]] pulling this on Tracey Morgan.]] However, they messed it up by having the people in the commercial do it for ''any'' Volkswagon, and not just the Beetle.
* On August 26, 2020, the Sunkist Twitter account [[https://twitter.com/Sunkist/status/1298655379568693252?s=19 posted this image]] of [[Machinima/HalfLifeVRButTheAIIsSelfAware Sunkist, The Perfect Dog]] in honor of National Dog Day.
