Basic Trope: A show was made specifically to advertise a product.
- Straight: The Legends of Lara was made only to sell the toys that the show is based on.
- Exaggerated: The Legends of Lara has no plot, the show is entirely composed of advertisements for the toy line.
- Downplayed: The show was based on a toy line, but the show itself never shills to it. Entertainment value is the priority.
- Justified: The toy line was already popular, so the show was made to ride off of that fame.
- Inverted: The show predates the merchandise, with the merchandise being made to advertise the show.
- Subverted: The show is based on a toy line but is filled with anti-capitalist messages.
- Double Subverted: The producers eventually Sell-Out to the toy corporation and the anti-capitalistic episodes were taken off of air.
- Parodied: The show has blaring stock music, the main character is a Stepford Consumer, there is a pricetag constantly on screen, and you have to buy the toy of a character for them to appear in the show.
- Zig-Zagged: The show is only loosely based on the toyline.
- Averted: The show has nothing to do with any product.
- Enforced: Executives hire animators to create a show based off of the toys in order to boost sales among kids.
- Lampshaded: "Hey guys, have you noticed that instead of doing fun things, we just tell the viewer to buy toys?"
- Invoked: Bob makes a show based off of the toys he makes in order to draw in more customers.
- Exploited: The heroes get funds for their adventure by demanding royalties from the toy company.
- Defied: The toyline was cancelled in order to stop the show from selling out to the toys.
- Discussed: "This show is just a 20 minute ad."
- Conversed: "That show was so trash, it kept shilling for the product instead of actually developing the plot."
