1	* A famous ad run during a break of the 81st Annual Academy Awards shows Creator/TomCruise and Creator/JimmyKimmel escape from a burning house. Kimmel immediately says he hopes Cruise doesn't think he burned Cruise's house down as part of a plot to get him to do Kimmel's next show. Cruise sees through the denial and tricks Kimmel into going back into the house to rescue a nonexistent cat.
2	* Several tourism commercials for New Orleans and Florida reference the Gulf oil spill. One even insisted that "everything's normal" right after ''showing a bowl of shrimp''.
3	* From an Australian radio ad for a home redesign company with a running joke about the crew resembling Franchise/TheSmurfs:
4	-->'''Guy 1:''' ...and the carport's clearly a winner. How'd you do it?\
5	'''Guy 2:''' Well, with my talent, my skill...\
6	''[odd background noise]''\
7	'''Guy 2:''' Shush!\
8	'''Guy 1:''' What was that?\
9	'''Guy 2:''' It was ''not'' a team of Smurfs who helped me.
10	* Sainsbury's Still Table Water is [[http://i.imgur.com/pTAz8YJ.jpg "definitely not tap water".]]
11	* Commercials for Wendy's end with the tagline, "It's not fast food. It's Wendy's." They never say what Wendy's is if it's not fast food (which it is).
12	* Commercials for White Castle starting in 2012 claim they ''don't'' sell hamburgers, but actually sell "sliders". Right.
13	* Any time a commercial says "Real people, not actors", usually they are actors as if actors aren't real people.
14	* [[https://www.ispot.tv/ad/7MsI/kmart-layaway-not-a-christmas-commercial This]]is definitely NOT a Christmas commercial from Kmart.
15	** Likewise [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ejSsv_ypNHc This]] is NOT a back-to-school themed commercial also from Kmart!
16	* After Harlan Sanders died, KFC decided to have a line-up of various celebrities play him in different commercials. In the ad starring Music/RebaMcEntire, we hear lines like "I'm Colonel Sanders, the same as always. Absolutely nothing's changed." and "I swear I'm not a famous woman."
