1* Sent up in an ad campaign for Smirnoff Ice, in which the host has a very conspicuous preparation for (with the exception of one drunk driving device) extremely unlikely events, such as a giant tennis ball catapult in case of giant dogs and a surprisingly dinky trident in case a kraken surfaces from the swimming pool.
2* One of Mastercard's "Priceless" [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V70bLAPevMc commercials]] featuring Series/{{MacGyver|1985}} (yes, starring Richard Dean Anderson) shows him buying all the little things he uses well ahead of time.
3* The short-lived Toshiba advertising campaign "Ramifications of Yes" suggest that their electronic products have certain features specifically to avert extremely unlikely circumstances. For example:
4** If they don’t put shock absorbers in a laptop, an electric worker will blow out power for the entire United States by plugging in a damaged computer, leading to a ZombieApocalypse by way of ''spoiled milk''.
5** If they don’t put Wi-Fi in a TV, a man trying to connect his TV with an Ethernet cable would end up disconnecting a cable at a communications center that controls GPS satellites, causing them to malfunction and lead drivers to drive off cliffs.
6** If they don’t put HDMI, USB and Mini-USB ports on a tablet, the inability to connect it to a TV would cause a PrisonRiot [[SerialEscalation that ends up with]] [[TheCoup convicts overthrowing]] the United States government.
7* In [[http://youtu.be/9lJy86vQSXc this Vodafone Omnitel]] commercial, the main character must smuggle the title product across some kind of checkpoint. Ducking into a car-wash, she changes clothes and removes a [[LatexPerfection very lifelike mask]] to reveal a completely different look. Qualifies because the mask is a duplicate of her ''normal appearance'', and the curly-haired blonde underneath it is a disguise-by-makeover.
8* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXWZ3uAEKsw This woman]] could easily be part of the Batfamily. Everything the public servant tries, she's ready...
