* In the New York area, there's a store called B&H, whose advertisements involve [[Film/TwoThousandOneASpaceOdyssey a guy named Dave and a robot named Hal]].
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lWn8cyUMDbg This Caesars Palace commercial]] ends with the narration, "[[Film/StreetFighter What you call the greatest day of your life,]] [[ButForMeItWasTuesday we call 'Tuesday'."]]
* There's a Honda advertisement that uses the opening to the Waldstein Sonata by Beethoven.
* Some advertising for ''VideoGame/SonicHeroes'' referenced ''Series/TheATeam'' quite heavily, such as [[http://info.sonicretro.org/File:Sh_USAAdvertisement2.jpg a magazine ad]] aping the famous opening narration or the (now-defunct) [[http://web.archive.org/web/20040725042952/http://www.toughteam.com/uk.html website]] using a [[SuspiciouslySimilarSong slightly changed]] snippet of the theme.
* Trojan Condoms: In ''Literature/TheAeneid'' the Greek army gets into a giant horse, which gets through the enemy's defenses. Men inside a horse, inside the enemy's walls. Pure FauxSymbolism. [[AnalogyBackfire And then, after penetrating the enemy fortress, the horse bursts open and all the soldiers inside start rampaging everywhere.]] They probably intended for it to be a reference to the Trojan ''Walls,'' which were so impenetrable that after ten years of keeping the Greeks out they had to resort to the horse trick, but that's not where peoples' minds end up going.
* Advertising billboards for a flatrate internet package included ''VideoGame/{{Doom}}'' HUD as seen [[http://urbanprankster.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/4165263121_904e1834291.jpg here]] and [[http://youvert.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8341c678153ef0133ecb51003970b-800wi here]].
* A Filipino snack ad best described, as one comment put it, as "SACRILEGE TO [[Manga/LuckyStar LUCKY STAR]]." In terms of character designs, ''Franchise/SailorMoon'' wasn't spared either.
* A commercial for ''VideoGame/VirtualBoyWarioLand'' ended with Wario saying "[[Film/Batman1989 Wait till they get a load of me!]]"
