!!This series contains examples of:
* HundredPercentAdorationRating: The children always cheer when Superman arrives.
* TheAggressiveDrugDealer: Nick O'Teen tries to get children to smoke cigarettes because... he's evil! Note that he never sells the cigarettes or demands money for them, he just hands them over.
* BigBad: Nick O'Teen is the main villain of all the ads, and is treated as the one responsible for drug addiction and the damages it causes.
* TheCameo: Well-known ''Superman'' characters Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen make a short appearance in the third commercial.
* {{Catchphrase}}: Superman ends each televised ad with "That's why I never say yes to a cigarette."
* DastardlyWhiplash: Nick O'Teen is an ObviouslyEvil dude (with a mustache in the first commercial) with a cape and a top hat (the latter of which is colored like a cigarette) who offers cigarettes to children, only to be stopped by Superman for a DrugsAreBad message.
* DirtyCoward: Nick O'Teen usually tries to run or slink away when Superman shows up. Justified because Superman has a variety of superhuman abilities and [[VillainousUnderdog Nick O'Teen has none]].
* DrugsAreBad: The series is dedicated to teaching children that cigarettes are harmful.
* EvilLaugh: Nick O'Teen does the "nyeh heh heh" variety in the first TV ad, when some kids are about to take the cigarettes he's offering.
* EvilSoundsRaspy: In the TV ads, Nick O'Teen is voiced with a deep rasp. This is probably because the character smokes so much.
* JohnBarleycornAndFriends: Nick O'Teen is a personification of [[DrugsAreBad the dangers of smoking]], and he's portrayed as TheAggressiveDrugDealer.
* TheHero: Superman always steps in to save the children from the evil Nick O'Teen.
* HomeRunHitter: In the first TV ad, Superman dispatches Nick O'Teen by throwing him into the sky. There's no TwinkleInTheSky, though.
* IronicEcho: In the first TV ad, Nick O'Teen claims that cigarettes will help the kids "grow up fast." Superman tells O'Teen he'll help him "''go'' up fast" and [[HomeRunHitter throws him into the sky]].
* MustHaveNicotine: Nick O'Teen, obviously. The second commercial has him lie to the children that quitting smoking is easy, but when Superman crushes O'Teen's cigarettes, O'Teen quickly devolves into begging for one.
* PunnyName: Nick O'Teen. Nicotine. He's a drug addict who tries to get children addicted to cigarettes.
* RobeAndWizardHat: In the third TV ad, Nick O'Teen wears this outfit to pass himself off as a friendly wizard to gain the children's trust.
* SecondaryColorNemesis: Nick O'Teen mostly wears orange and light colors (to mimic the colors of a cigarette), which contrasts Superman as a PrimaryColorChampion.
* SmokingIsNotCool: The ads teach that smoking is dangerous and damages your body, and Nick O'Teen, who tries to convince others to smoke, is a low-down villain.
* VillainousUnderdog: Once Superman arrives, there's nothing Nick O'Teen can do to stop him from foiling his plans.
* XRayVision: Superman mentions this classic power of his in the first TV ad, claiming that with it, he can see "the harm that cigarettes do inside people's bodies."
