This being an advertising section, these center around adverts that make their product look better than they really are. In real life, expect to be made fun of.
- Axe/Lynx body spray and Tag shower gel, supposedly. Prepare to be mobbed by armies of attractive members of the opposite sex wanting your bod. Far too many teenage boys hope this to be Truth in Television, and the average Western high school locker room reeks of the stuff.
- One commercial even shows women spontaneously pole-dancing around a pipe, and we pan up to a man in the shower using one of the products.
- Similarily, women showing great affection for metal items partially made from recycled cans of Axe.
- Female cops pulling over, arresting men, and then subjecting them to unreasonable search and seizure should be skyrocketing.
- In one hair commercial
, the girl develops a… fondness for the guy's hair. - One of the weirdest was one where a bug bit a guy who'd put on Axe (who of course got some at the bar, though this isn't shown); it was eaten by a frog, who promptly got to mate with the first member of the opposite sex it encountered; the frog was taken for frog legs, eaten by an older, wealthy gentlemen; who then got laid, had a heart attack, and died; who was then eaten by worms; one of which was put in a bottle of mezcal; which upon being swallowed causes the swallower to suddenly become phenomenally attractive to some women in the bar. The circle of life continues.
- And by far the weirdest of these AXE ads is the AXE: Dark Temptation ad. The man puts on the spray and turns into a chocolate golem and as he goes to do his daily business... while all the psychotic women bite/rip off parts of his body like his nose, arm, ears and one women bites him on the ass. And he only has this terrifying grin on his face the whole time.
- An Axe Twist commercial takes it one step further. A guy sprays on the Axe and goes on a date, which he screws up so badly that he tries to play peek-a-boo with her. She shows disinterest and the guy just looks forward in a stupor, Axe to the rescue, the guy is transformed into an intellectual. The girl gives the guy a sexy look. So guys, not only will Axe make her fall in love with you, it will make her forget you were a total douche five seconds ago.
- Apparently they also make your girlfriend want to do odd things to your father.
- To be fair, TAG will make your girlfriend's mom want to do odd things to you.

- A '70s ad, for a cologne called "Bacchus", pretended this was the real secret of the Roman army's victories: they arranged to splash the stuff on the men of enemy towns, who were then mobbed by their own (all very beautiful) womenfolk. "Because when a man is irresistible to women, he has more interesting things to do than fight a war."
- And of course, there were the ads for Impulse, a woman's body spray. Any woman wearing the product would become irresistible because "Men Can't Help Acting On Impulse." They even played with this concept in a '90s ad, where a woman wearing Impulse fails to score with a guy she bumps into ... because she is in the middle of a gay district.
- Consider also the subtext of the ads for BOD Man fragrance spray. Wherein a youth applies the spray and proceeds to play shirtless basketball with his male compatriots, while women look on longingly from behind a chain link fence.
- Parodied by a Specsavers ad where legions of women run towards a man spraying himself.. and then stop dead when they see his deeply unfashionable glasses.
- Parodied again in this video, where we find out what happens to the poor men after they're mobbed by a bunch of women.
- Wild Stone Perfume released a series of sensuous advertisements in India that involved women going insane at the scent of their deodorant, including one that had to be toned down because it was too much for some conservative audiences.
