* A PSA campaign about dating scams by the National Crime Prevention Council of Singapore first seems like an ad for a dating website called Talk Love. The 30-second version of the ad simply ends with a link to the website, which redirects to a page that explains such scams. The full version shows a girl named Ella matching up with a guy named Brandon via said website. Brandon then asks for increasing amounts of money, supposedly to pay off his grandmother's hospital bills. Eventually, Ella calls Brandon's number only to find that the number was deactivated -- and all appearances of "Brandon" in the scenes beforehand were just cardboard cutouts.

* A 2023 Super Bowl commercial features a fan of Coors Light and a fan of Miller Lite getting into a bar brawl with each other over which respective beer brand the ad should focus on, the fight getting increasingly over-the-top and exaggerated. Eventually, a spotlight appears on the bar counter, and both fans try to get their beer bottle into it, only to have it stolen at the last second by a pint of Blue Moon, revealing the ad to have been a Blue Moon commercial the whole time.

* Subverted by [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AN1bkIEs8oo the first teaser]] for ''Film/GoldenEye''. It ''looks'' like it's shaping up to be a Film/JamesBond spoof, playing a song that sounds suspiciously like the Bond theme while declaring that "it's a new world with new threats and new enemies, but you can still depend on one man." Then the real Bond himself announces his presence with seven gunshots before he tells the viewer "you were expecting someone else?"
