** At least a partial justification for them, seeing as a combination of MoralGuardians, FanDisservice and trying not to insult their potential customers leaves them little they ''can'' say about their product... plus, since everyone ''[[YouShouldKnowThisAlready already knows]]'' what it's for, the ads are presumably meant to promote brand recognition.

** Hey, that Rube Goldberg machine one was [[RuleOfCool kind of cool]]. [[ConspicuousCG If a bit unconvincing.]]

->''"Three rabbits are on a log. One of them goes home and hangs himself. * {{Beat}}* Buy a bike!"''

* Imagine an old man discussing how [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything "everyone is doing it."]] As he goes on, it becomes blatantly obvious that it's about [[SexSells sex.]] He finishes with a large number of people who [[ModernWarfare do it.]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7NgLArJidY Cue the whine of night-vision goggles.]]

* A Thooey's ad which appeared to be featuring the Man With Silly Hair growing beer in these giant cocoon-like plants.''' ''[[MemeticMutation Please explain.]]'' '''

* Parodied in ''CodenameKidsNextDoor'' in the episode where the sectors are showing off their latest advancements in two-by-four technology. Many groups put together small video presentations about their inventions. One sector shows off their invention with a black and white video about absolutely nothing coherent. The operatives evaluating the inventions and demonstrations calls off the ad part of the way through and just asks outright what the heck it's supposed to be advertising. Their response is essentially that TrueArtIsIncomprehensible.

* ''DextersLaboratory'' had a commercial for Puppet Pals Jeans featuring DeliberatelyMonochrome models and an eerie lack of music. Also, the Puppet Pals themselves did not show up until the last 15 seconds, though earlier scenes had abstract references to them. At the end, TomKenny tries to prevent the viewers from thinking, "WhatWereTheySellingAgain?" by informing them, "You know it's ''Puppet Pals'' because of the name on the label."
