* In the ''{{Zork}}'' universe, Frobozz Electric, the evil technology conglomerate which replaced Frobozz Magic in the wake of the Magic Inquisition, has numerous such slogans in their public address announcements in ''{{Zork Grand Inquisitor}}''. Among these:

* Carlton & United Beverages ran an advertising campaign for Carlton Draught lager, with the slogan "Made From Beer".

* A faux commercial on the BBC comedy ''The Goodies'' has a spot for Bristo's gravy in which "Tie Me Kangaroo Down" songwriter Rolf Harris (Graeme Garden) comes home for dinner at his mum's (Tim Brooke-Taylor), takes a bite of his dinner with the gravy and keels over dead. The tagline: "Bristos...gets rid of Rolf Harrises fast!"

* Many animated TV shows and theatrical cartoons, including ''LooneyTunes'', ''TheBeverlyHillbillies'' and ''TheFlintstones'', had a fictitious film company called Miracle Pictures, and their motto always was, "If it's a good picture, it's a Miracle!"

* In ''ThirtyRock'', the Sheinhardt Wig company has the slogan "Not Poisoning Rivers Since 1997."

* ''MontyPythonsFlyingCircus'' "Conquistador Coffee" sketch. An ad writer comes up with campaign slogans such as "Conquistador Coffee brings a new meaning to the word vomit" and "The tingling fresh coffee which brings you exciting new cholera, mange, dropsy, the clap, hard pad and athlete's head. From the House of Conquistador".

* The Dudley Moore vehicle ''CrazyPeople'' concerned Moore as an adman who went a bit crazy, telling people "the truth." Real products were used, such as: "Metamucil. It helps you go to the toilet. If you don't use it, you'll get cancer and die." "Jaguar -- the car for men who want handjobs from beautiful women." "Volvo -- they're boxy but they're good." and finally "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQa4HHkhwVg Sony: Because Caucasians are just too damn tall]]"

* In HouseOfMouse, one of the types of cartoons is "Mickey, Donald and Goofy run a business. HilarityEnsues." Often, their business's name is something straightforward that just says what they do, and the tag line Mickey answers the phone with is just a [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment repetition of that]]. For example, "Organ Donors. We donate organs!" or "Roller Coaster Painters. We paint roller coasters!"

* ''TheOnion'': In [[this]] article, an ad agency finds out the hard way that the slogans "Merit--Makin' You Feel All Small 'n' Flaccid" and "Merit--Love That Limply Dangling Taste" do not encourage 35- to 50-year-old males to buy cigarettes. In the wake of this marketing failure, the agency prepares to roll out its campaign to sell tampons with slogans like "Tampax--For Those Awkward Bleeding-From-Your-Crotch Days."

** Gunderson's Unshelled Nuts. They taste nuts so good!

* ''MyNameIsEarl'' - in the backstory Earl and Randy went to the Right Choice Ranch for troubled youth, which went through a series of AccidentalInnuendo slogans. "Touching Bad Boys Since 1963" - "Bringing Boys To Their Knees Since 1963" - "Forcing Boys To Turn Around Since 1963" - "We Don't Do Anything Inappropriate to The Boys"
