* The commercials for Mike's Hard Lemonade are a repeat offender. Most alcohol (although beer especially) commercials are bad enough, with the whole hyper-masculinity/sexualization-of-women thing, but these commercials find a new audience to offend; every commercial has some effeminate, sensitive, stereotypically dorky guy (nerd-lisp and all) toting some new product, such as [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHSSBNbqjtQ "Mike's hard soy lemonade"]] or somesuch, and then his masculine supervisor slamming his plans in his face and making fun of him. "In a world gone soft, somebody's gotta be hard". Of course, this could be overcompensation for the fact that Mike's is considered by some (ok, many) men to be a "girly drink" not suitable for consumption by individuals with functioning, woman-seeking penises.
* Dairy Queen had an ad with a young woman crying and distraught about the death of her beloved cat. Her boyfriend showed up, and was consoling her [badly] as a pretense to get sips of her frozen latte drink while her arms were around him in the hug.

** In Norway, Axe has a yearly contest where contestants submit home-made Axe commercials (the winner will be shown in cinemas). While some of these are (well-made from a technical standpoint) appeals to sex, many of them are parodies. Of special notice was one where a hunter is in the middle of a forest and decided to apply deodorant. Since there are no women around, well... ''Baaaaaaah!''
* A shaving gel commercial portrayed itself as giving such a great add-on to the manly activity that the guy in the commercial shaved his entire head just so the experience wouldn't end. (And it was ''not'' done comedically, but was instead complete with cool walking-poses and deep-voiced narrator.)

* A pair of kids are apparently living with their single father (who we never see -- he's in the shower) and one tells the other that "Dad says breakfast's in the toaster". A moral that MenCantKeepHouse? No, the bread is ''what they're advertising''. Presumably the message is "if all you can cook is toast, buy this especially healthy and nutritious bread so your kids don't starve to death on the bus".



* Any cleaning product, cooking recipe, weight loss or childcare commercial. Rarely, if ever is there a commercial for a cleaning product where it's ''the man'' who's cleaning up, or the little brats shown making the mess in the first place. In the world of advertising, men are just plain intellectually incapable of cooking or cleaning or how to handle a mop or oven.

* KFC once put out a commercial that featured women throwing their frying pans out windows, on the rationale that they weren't cooking that night because they'd ordered KFC. Quite aside from the flaw of flying cast-iron things (one narrowly missed a mailman), there's also the fact that even if they're wealthy enough to afford to buy takeout fried chicken every single time they want it for the rest of their life, they might still need their frying pan to cook other things and will eventually have to retrieve it...

The women squeal and bounce with joy, when suddenly the sound of yelling men is heard. The camera pans to show a walk-in fridge filled with Heineken beer, with the men reacting exactly like the women: squealing and bouncing with joy.

* Sony did a commercial for its Bravia line of televisions, advertising the Bravia as "The. World's. First. Television. For. Men. And. Women. Trademark." The advertising campaign was based entirely on the idea that ''men'' cared only, and ''only men cared'', how well a TV worked and how good its "awesome HD picture" was.

* A commercial for a vacuum had a woman happily vacuuming the carpet with a big smile on her face because the vacuum cleaner is '''just so awesome''', while her husband climbs a ladder outside to do some work on the roof. The ladder suddenly tilts away from the house, causing the husband to call for help. The wife calmly extends the tube of the vacuum and reaches over, using the suction to snag him by the chest and yank him back up against the house. The husband looks ashamed of himself for almost falling to his death, while the wife smirks smugly at him and goes back to her vacuuming.

If it's Father's Day they advertise those same "great deals" on flat screen [=TVs=], outdoor grills, and other things men are supposed to like.

Kmart's advertising is the most gender-normative of all the "big box retailers".

* All household paint commercials show both men and women getting involved with their own painting projects, which used to be thought of as something only men would get involved with.
** And one of these as a parody. An expectant couple is shown, with the wife's hands occasionally resting on her belly as they sort through what has to be the perfect colour of paint. They find it ... in time for the wife to yell something uncomplimentary while they're at an American football game.

If Kellogg's is to be believed, one little sweet can ruin an entire day of otherwise healthy eating. Notice how whenever guys need to lose weight or eat healthy, they're just told not to stuff themselves with 2 double cheeseburgers and a jumbo order of fries in one sitting aka "what most people tend to do anyway".

*** One involved a balloon falling toward a guy's spiky hair at a fairly slow rate, which popped to reveal a girl (who fell on him and pinned him so they could 'fix' his hair). However, this implies that the balloon was filled with helium and a girl... which would mean a [[ParanoiaFuel random dead girl falling on you out of a large balloon]].

** There was ''one'' Swiffer duster commercial that had a man cleaning...but he was a CSI cleaning up ''at a crime scene''. Because a man would only ever clean in a professional context, never to keep house.
*** Similarly, there's an ad for Swiffer steam boost featuring men cleaning... but they're soldiers mopping up their barracks for inspection. You have to construct a scenario for a man cleaning to make sense, apparently.

Good thing you're smarter than that, so you'll drink this flavored water and eat this crunchy nutrient-free cardboard instead!

* There is an Arby's commercial in which a man and a woman are sharing a romantic moon-lit night by a lake. She suggests "a dip", clearly meaning a dip in the lake. He immediately becomes a moron, jumps off into the truck, and heads off to Arby's for a French dip sandwich... incidentally leaving her frustrated and angry, standing next to the lake.

* A commercial from De Beers' "A Diamond is Forever" campaign, while outwardly romantic, has a bit of a darker side. It shows a couple in what appears to be San Marco, one of the most romantic spots in the world, embracing. The man proclaims love for his woman loudly and bravely, "I LOVE THIS WOMAN!". She tells him to stop because it's embarrassing. He says, "Then maybe this will do," and shows her a ring. She hugs him and says "I love this man, I love this man." This is playing on the whole "Women love shiny things" trope. Because passionate heartfelt sentiment doesn't hold a candle to cold hard ice.
** Comedian Ron White actually made a joke about De Beers and their campaign slogans:
---->The De Beers people are almost saying what they really mean. You remember the old De Beers slogan, "Diamonds are forever." Then they changed it to "This year, take her breath away." The new slogan is "Diamonds. Render her speechless." Why don't they just come out and say it: "Diamonds. That'll shut her up."
