* The old [[Advertising/HostessFruitPies Hostess Pie comic book ads]] (done in comic-book style) where inevitably, a pie would be the key for a superhero to defeat the villain. Particularly funny because they used actual superheroes such as Spider-man (the villains were mostly made up however.) The ones starring ComicBook/TheJoker, however, are interesting as he [[DoesNotLikeSpam doesn't actually like them]], using them as a distraction instead.

** Lucky Charms gets skewered on a ''WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures'' spot where Plucky (in Lucky the Leprechaun get-up) shills for Unlucky Worms "They're magically disgusting").

A commercial is Magically Delicious when it tosses reality out the window.

The product was not created by a business that wants money. The rights to sell the product were not given to distributors who want money. It's definitely not in a store that requires money in exchange from you or your parents. The product was not the result of study groups or market analysis; chemical, nutritional, and physical testing; or construction.

*** And then they took it UpToEleven with ads where both men AND women are affected by their product, showing the world descend into chaos as people drop whatever they're doing (often literally) to make out.

* Skittles candies are the absolute master of this trope; lush gorgeous imagery with their product coming from rainbows and unicorns and small ancient Asian men. This series of ads was adapted into a low-budget and highly self-referential video game called ''VideoGame/DarkenedSkye''.

* Axe Body Spray (that's Lynx to Brits, New Zealanders, Australians, and apparently South Africans) has taken this and run with it, stating that their product is [[SexForProduct a literal aphrodisiac]] that will cause women to sexually assault anyone who puts it on (or any''[[{{Squick}} thing]]'').

* The current advertising campaign for Shreddies revolves around the claim that every single square of the cereal is hand-knitted by Nanas.
** For the Americans in the audience, "Shreddies" are "Shredded Wheat".
* Quilted Northern toliet paper is hand-quilted by three women, apparently. (And isn't ''that'' fun to think about whilst putting their handiwork to its intended use?)

* Inverted in [[ScareEmStraight anti-drug Public Service ads]] that suggest use of various drugs will [[FantasticAesop cause magically horrific transformations]].

* Inverted in anti-drug PSA's that suggest use of various drugs will [[FantasticAesop cause magically horrific transformations]].

** There have also been beer commercials (Miller Lite?), where store clerks or bartenders -- not content to merely enter the cooler or open the fridge -- enter a magical portal to some frozen mountain where bottles of beer are physically chipped out of the ice.

** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jg-BO3QwWnk This ad]] spoofs these commercials, featuring a horde of women stampeding over to a guy applying body spray onto him. Just as they draw near, [[spoiler:he puts on a ridiculous pair of glasses, and the women lose interest. [[CommercialSwitcheroo It's a Specsavers advertisement]]]].
