* Spoofed in a commercial for Trident Layers chewing gum. After running several ads that played the conceit of getting paid with packs of gum rather straight (if in a deliberately cheesy way), they put out an ad showing another guy with an over-the-top grin crowing about how lucky he is that his job gives him Trident Layers in lieu of an actual salary, but his wife and children don't share in his obvious psychosis, [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome and are instead very worried about how their bills are going to be paid.]]

The trademark stupid grin fits well in the psychological profile of someone who is TooIncompetentToOperateABlanket and in touch with ThePowerOfCheese. When taken UpToEleven, it can give off HappinessIsMandatory vibes or alternatively sexual overtones when the ficticious customers seem really turned on by something that's usually considered unerotic in RealLife, unless you're into [[{{Fetish}} that kind of thing]].

* Paul Kane's short story "Life-O-Matic" takes place in a world where ''everybody'' is like this -- until the protagonist, Jeff, wakes up and realizes how creepy it is.
-->And yes, as June kept telling him, they had dozens of cleaning implements that could reach even into the smallest of nooks or crannies, but Jeff never actually saw her using any of them, only on small sections of the carpet which she would spill wine on deliberately just to show him how easy it was to "foam-away"!

In advertising, customers are routinely shown to be extremely and conspicuously ecstatic about the product, no matter how mundane - or in fact boring - it is. This works in all formats: visual forms of advertisement may show people grinning inanely, laughing and jumping for joy, radio spots may have people cheering and going ''woo-hoo'' in the background because they saved pennies on a bubblegum purchase, got a free sandwich with their car or are just generally pleased with the overall product because, [[{{Anvilicious}} you know, it's just so good]].
