* Corn Nuts had a commercial in the 90s where the jingle was "bust a nut, bust a nut, just open up your mouth and bust a nut!"[[note]] For those of you not in the know, "bust a nut" is urban slang for ejaculation[[/note]] The jingle itself, if you didn't speak English, sounded innocent enough, making this a possible inversion.

* An ad campaign for Sling TV is basically substituting [[ThreesomeSubtext "swinging"]] with "slinging" (as in, using the TV streaming service). [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FC8IWkV3u5w It started with an ad]] where a husband gets excited and unbuttons his shirt when the couple he and his wife were spending some time with suggested they try slinging. Then it featured Creator/NickOfferman and Megan Mullaney as a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7hvPj7Uu2Ew voluptuous couple]] always coaxing neighboring couples to try slinging with them to "keep things fresh." ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFDYVDDDSVg One ad]] even has them doing some suggestive physical working out.) A later ad, which isn't explicitly polyamorous but still maintains the entendre, has a specialist talk about how couples should try new positions when watching Sling TV to spice up their relationships.

* Nando's, a South African chicken restaurant franchise that has a penchant for putting out controversial ads, covered this recently by airing a commercial for a fake yet somewhat similar restaurant, only to add a disclaimer at the end that shows the logos of the restaurants, a rooster in both cases, side by side, so Nando's could argue that their cock was bigger than theirs.

* Wang Computers embraced the double entendre produced by their company name, airing commercials urging consumers to "play with their Wangs".
** In an issue of the ''Badger'' comic, Mavis destroys Ham's computer, at which he says, "I hope you're satisified Madam! Now I no longer have the biggest Wang in town!"

** [[TheSimpsons "Thank goodness he's drawn attention away from my shirt!"]]

** Similarly, the Wang linker (named of course after the Chinese researcher who pioneered it) is a linking group in solid-state organic catalysis. Guaranteed to [[HehHehYouSaidX raise giggles among chemistry undergraduates when it comes up in lectures]].
** Wang tiles are studied by some geometers and logicians.
** A man in the Netherlands made a rather modest museum to Wang computers. What did he call it? Why, the [[http://home.planet.nl/~janvdv/wang/wangmuseum.htm Small Wang Museum]], of course!
** Incidentally, though Wang Computers no longer exists, the name lives on as the name of the Wang Theatre in Boston, which led to it being used in a punchline in a local morning DJ's comedy sketch about "Viagra: the Musical".
** And then there is the story about them trying to rename their support system '''''Wang Care'''''

* Panasonic had released a touchscreen PC in Japan in the 1990's called "Woody", complete with WesternAnimation/WoodyWoodpecker as the mascot. They ended up branding the touchscreen aspect as "Touch Woody", which had to be quickly renamed "Woody Touch Screen" due to the obvious faux pas. But then, they also accidentally gave it the tagline "The Internet Pecker"

* George Carlin's 1971 album "FM & AM" featured a bit in which double entendres in commercials (cigarette ads, mostly) were exposed. The most glaring is a Tiparillo spot whose tag line "Should a gentleman offer a lady a Tiparillo?" is followed by a train going into a tunnel. (More a metaphor than a visual double entendre.) Carlin: "You don't have to be Fellini to figure that one out." Winston's tagline of the time, "It's not how long you make it, it's how you make it long", is cited as not only the filthiest tagline of all time but also based in truth.
