Over the top depictions of stuff you think you will need, when really we are just trying to sell you something for your hard-earned cash.

  • The Burger King: An extremely creepy self-proclaimed monarch who may or may not be wearing a mask of his own face, sneaks through bushes, follows strangers around town, and occasionally breaks into your house, all for the opportunity to offer you a burger or similar fast food items.
  • Chick-fil-A: We roast and kill chickens. In-fact, we will make our fries and sandwiches so delicious, it started an internet war with another restaurant that roasts and kills chickens. And then you will hate us when you drive up to our establishment, only to remember that we are closed on Sundays.
  • Chick-fil-A Cows: We encourage the mass genocide of one species in order to divert attention from another.
  • McDonald's: A full-grown man wearing make-up hangs out with a bunch of kids with the promise of delicious burgers that will just get stolen away by his openly criminal friend and a big purple monster.
  • Protegent: A blatant ripoff of a preschool show character raps about and encourages people to purchase an antivirus software that doesn't even work properly.
  • Big Bill Hell's: A clearly Insane Proprietor curses at you, threatens you, offers to perform coitus with your wife, and issues an impossible challenge, all for the purposes of selling cars that he himself claims to be total garbage. It's also not actually a real commercial, but something made by some bored car dealership employees in Maryland on a particularly slow day solely for the purposes of entertaining themselves and by complete chance managed to make it onto the internet.

Objects of completely superficial value that you'll buy anyway because we told you they cost a lot.

Worthless Crap
  • The Birth of Venus: A new-born woman that came out of someone's severed penis ogled by the people around her as a sex object and will eventually become famous for being a slut.
