There is a Music-related example. Ralph Records (obligatory Wikipedia entry: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ralph_Records) used the slogan "Buy or Die"

Unfortunately, these kinds of ads wouldn't really be received well today. What with people being so thin-skinned nowadays.

Also, depending on the product, it mind not be received as jokingly as intended. Like if they used this mentioned to sell beer. That would trigger some unhappy memories from kids of certain households. This coming from a guy who's dad is a verbally abusive drunk.

This is probably the most depressing thing you've ever read.

As for what She-Hulk's saying, I'd tell her "Don't threaten me with a good time!"

I'm just kidding, I'd say "Calm the fuck down!". I may like She-Hulk, but I ain't no simp!
