* [[https://derpibooru.org/tags/wow%2521+glimmer Wow! Glimmer]] is a ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' fandom [[Memes/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicCharacterMemes meme]] about deliberately creating these gags, by carefully cropping advertisements from [[VideoGame/MyLittlePonyGameloft the Gameloft app]] to produce a different meaning, or just nonsense.
** The image that started it all: [[https://derpibooru.org/1117002 an ad reading "Wow! Starlight Glimmer Bundle!"]] was trimmed down to just the middle of the picture, now reading [[https://derpibooru.org/1208039 "Wow! Glimmer"]].
** An example from 2023 (with some spoilers from [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyTheMovie2017 The Movie]]): [[https://derpibooru.org/images/3127519 This ad]] originally read "The unicorn formerly known as Tempest Shadow has started using her real name again [[spoiler:after defecting from the Storm King's army]]. Turns out, her horn is REALLY good at making fireworks! 85% OFF". Through careful cropping, [[https://derpibooru.org/images/3127592 the image instead reads,]] "Turns out, [[FictionalDisability her horn is 85% OFF]]".

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}:'' In [[Recap/FuturamaS6E4PropositionInfinity "Proposition Infinity"]], Bender goes on a graffiti spree, posting pixel-art pictures of his own face in all kinds of inconvenient places. At one point he puts the picture on a traffic sign reading "FREEWAY ENDS AT NEXT CORNER", covering up just enough of the message to make it instead read "FREE CORN". Immediately after, the Hyper-Chicken drives by, gets excited at the prospect of free corn, then crashes his car into the end of the freeway.

** "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS34E7FromBeerToPaternity From Beer to Paternity]]" does it three times in quick succession, with Duffman entering what he thinks is a bar for women and spraying them with beer, before being chased out by a bunch of angry female lawyers. These three buildings are the '''Women's Bar''' Association, '''Ladies' Pub'''lic Defenders Society, and Women's Le'''gal Dive'''rsity Initiative. The first two times, the concealed word was covered up by pigeons, so Duffman shooed the pigeons away from the third one before barging in, only for that sign to be [[SignsOfDisrepair a faulty neon sign]].
