* CrazyIsCool: Phil Swift's insane methods of testing Flex Seal. The most famous is probably sawing a boat in half and repairing it with only Flex Tape, but he's also turned a pick-up truck into a submarine with Flex Seal Colors, put together a 4x4 with Flex Glue, and covered a giant hole in another boat with Flex Tape Clear before riding it into ''shark-infested waters''.

** The ads ''in general'' are a good source of laughs, due to Phil Swift's over the top acting, his MemeticBadass status, and the absurd lengths he goes to just to show what Flex Tape can do.

** Phil Swift slapping on Flex Seal [[labelnote:Explanation]]In the commercial for the waterproof Flex Tape, Swift demonstrates the power of the product in question by enthusiastically slapping a piece of tape onto a leaking water tank in an over-the-top manner, stopping the leak completely. This scene gave rise to a two-panel object-labelling meme that spread across the Internet, mainly used to mock lazy or ineffectual fixes to a problem that do little to properly address it.[[/labelnote]]
