However, modern audiences will likely '''''[[FanDisservice not]]''''' [[FanDisservice find any humor]] in a half-naked, panicking woman being forced to endure the humiliation of being non-consensually topless on live television.

* FakeOutMakeOut: To keep her off the car lot while they are shooting the bootleg commercial, Rudy asks Barbara to have dinner with him. While in the restaurant, Barbara discovers the bar has tuned to the Presidential speech the others are about to insert a commercial into. She does not know about it and must not notice. To get her out of the restaurant, Rudy pretends to have stomach flu and runs outside, holding his stomach like he's about to vomit. Barbara comes out and goes to him, whereupon he brushes it off as a panic attack, only noticing they’re standing in front of a TV store with a "wall" of TV sets where the broadcast can be seen and heard. He creates a diversion. Rudy turns her around so her back is to the TVs, grabs her head, plugs her ears with his fingers, and while holding her head, begins passionately kissing her all through the entire commercial, to her complete surprise.
