'''Basic Trope''': A television or radio commercial advertises the exact thing a character was just wishing they had.
* '''Straight''': Alice is complaining about how she feels like she's going nowhere and is looking to fix her life. Suddenly, in a commercial playing on her television, the narrator asks "Feel like you're going nowhere? Looking to fix your life?"
* '''Exaggerated''': Alice is wishing she had a job that payed well, had a good work environment, and gave her the experience she needed to become a professional animator, preferably at Disney. Suddenly, a commercial plays on her television: "Are you looking for a new job that pays well, has a good work environment, and will give you the experience you need to become a professional animator, preferably at Disney?"
* '''Downplayed''': Alice is looking to improve her life and do something different. Suddenly, a commercial plays on her TV, and the narrator mentions that their product is "life-changing".
* '''Justified''': The thing Alice wished for was something many people wish for, so it's often advertised as a selling point in commercials.
* '''Inverted''': ???
* '''Subverted''':
** The commercial says "Feel like you're going nowhere? Looking to fix your life? Well, we can't help you with that! But we ''can'' save you money on car insurance!"

* '''Double Subverted''':
** The commercial is a partnership between Insuri Co. and [=LifeStart=], a self-help program that ''does'' promise to fix Alice's life.
