History DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything / Advertising

-->'''Father''': Not ''this'' different.

* Clairol "Herbal Essences" shampoo commercials showcase the woman using their product in the shower and screaming in delight. "An organic experience," huh? Riiiight...

* Arby's put out one where a guy in bed, obviously waiting for... ''something'' to happen, gets his wife dressed as an Arby's worker entering with a plateful of Arby's food. To sexy music. The Arby's symbol over his head springs up with a ''boing'' sound effect and he says "Meeee ''likey''." [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TaHDN3_X4QY see for yourself]]
* This happens ''all the time'' in Canadian advertising, specifically when trying to advertise direct-to-consumer prescription drugs like Viagra, Cialis and Celebrex. Much like the European restrictions on talking about a car's maximum speed mentioned on another page, Canadian drug ads are allowed as long as the advertisement does not directly mention the purpose of the product. In response, many companies, Viagra maker Pfizer in particular, rely on SuspiciouslyAproposMusic, DoubleEntendre and DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything when they advertise up north. This has lead to brilliant Viagra ads like [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFGpI8bfep0 a satisfied customer dancing down a street while "Good Morning, Good Morning" from Singin' in the Rain plays in the background]]; [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ExQKZKnk6rA the "International Language of Viagra" campaign]] where people speak in [[SpeakingSimlish Simlish]] about their re-energized sex lives thanks to Viagra; and another ad for Cialis (can't find a link) where a husband and wife are... a bit late joining in a standing ovation.

* The Opinel logo [[http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/fr/1/19/OPINEL-logo.jpg]] reminds me of ... certain other activities that hopefully do not involve the use of knives.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LfWMmUJaPZw This]] Infinity commercial, where a man from a BMW-driving family admits his love for the Infinity, seems...familiar.
-->'''Son''': You must have known I was a little...different.

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n9MqJrQ5xbg This]] M&M ad, featuring the M&M rapist. The [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qDv2ltAcQfw "Anything For Love"]] can have interesting implications as well- [[NightmareFetishist "It hurts, but I kind of like it!"]]
** The [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q33drZUXSzY "Sexy And I Know It"]] ad.

* When she talks about skydiving in [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FrI_vOEiPmw this]] Faberge commercial, Kathy Smith sounds like she's actually talking about [[SexAsRiteOfPassage losing her virginity]].

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2fe8iS6v6g This]] Butterfinger Cups ad promotes [[AThreesomeIsHot another way]] to love [[GuyOnGuyIsHot peanut butter and chocolate]].

* Seriously, why do only women eat yogurt in commercials? Why can't men have some of that white creamy yummy stuff?
** Just think about those exact words for a minute. Just saying.

* A particularly unsubtle ad on British TV for (beat) "Virgin Railways" features a girl travelling to her boyfriend using Virgin Railways. At one point, the train she's in [[DoubleEntendre plunges]] into a heart-shaped, pink [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin love-tunnel]].

* The women squeezing the Charmin, [[HoYay along with Mr. Whipple]] in the Charmin commercials of the [[TheSixties sixties]] and [[TheSeventies seventies]], like [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aFIYOIuZtcw this one]] look like they're squeezing a hunk's squeezably soft butt.

** Not to mentio that shampoo is [[StealthPun all creamy and sometimes white..]]]

* the progressive commercial where Flo stands in a dark ally and starts trying to talk two men into switching their insurance.They quickly tell her that their insurance companies "told them not to talk to people like her". This sounds an awfully like a person pressuring someone into doing drugs.[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rA_f_hypNls]]

* And of course there was Tickle deodorant, the initial ads for which simply showed the container and various women laughing at it.

* The Enzyte commercials are this trope incarnate.

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4r1bmkW46t8&NR=1 This]] old commercial for Squeezit drinks took this to a whole new level. Not only did the drinks themselves and the "squeezing" have some phallic reminders, but there is a boy squeezing a football that is positioned covering his pants, a boy holding a camera with a blub for the flash that extends upward, a boy squeezing a giant hotdog, wait it gets better, that suddenly shoots out of the bun, and to top it off a girl has a bucket of popcorn that sprays popcorn over all of the kids present.

* Arby's recently put out one were a guy in bed, obviously waiting for... ''something'' to happen, gets his wife dressed as an Arby's worker entering with a plateful of Arby's food. To sexy music.

At one point, the train she's in [[DoubleEntendre plunges]] into a heart-shaped, pink [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin love-tunnel]]. Any more explicit and they would have to resort to raping the viewer on the spot.

* The new [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7fz0jpuLkM Liquid Plumber]] commercial is covered in it.
