** The episode "Towelie" featured a mock advert for ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' merchandise - the "Towelie" towel, featuring a button that can be pressed to hear the character's {{catchphrase}} "You wanna get high?" (Ironically, in a bit of {{Defictionalization}}, an actual [[http://shop.comedycentral.com/South-Park--Towelie-Towel-Towelie_stcVVproductId5989097VVcatId452080VVviewprod.htm Towelie towel]] was produced! -- it doesn't talk, though.)
*** ''Very'' ironic, in this case: The showrunners created Towlie for the sole purpose of [[CompletelyMissingThePoint having a character so stupid that it couldn't be conceivably turned into mindless merchandise]].
**** Abusing PoesLaw for fun and profit.
** The episode "Chinpokomon" featured two mock advertisements. The first was the "Wild Wacky Action Bike", a bicycle with both front and rear handlebars, advertised as "almost impossible to steer". The second product was the "Alabama Man", an action figure of a stereotypical redneck who spends his time drinking beer, bowling, chewing tobacco, and beating his wife ("When Wife asks him where he's been, just use the action button and Alabama Man busts her lip open!" 'Shut up, bitch!'"). After a focus group consisting of Cartman, Stan and Kyle dismiss both as "gay", the researcher says, "Oooh, dear. Well, let's keep trying. How about this?" Cut to real commercials.
