* "Apple Jacks" and "Cinnamon Toast Crunch" repeatedly has children mocking adults such as scientists, parents, life guards, etc. for being clueless and not understanding what the appeal of their cereals are. There was one Cinnamon Toast Crunch commercial where the adult guessed why kids loved it on the first guess, but the kids promptly ignored him. [[Family-Unfriendly Aesop|The moral seems to be: kids]], [[Adults Are Useless|your parents]] [[Biting the Hand Humor|are stupid]].
* The kids in "[[Trix]]" ads take delight in making certain the Trix Rabbit ''never'' gets any of the cereal. If he ever gets a box, even if he ''[httphttps://wwwweb.archive.org/web/20130806220441/http://bash.org/?75154 bought it with his own money]'', they take it away from him, telling him "silly rabbit, Trix are for kids!". In one early, early, EARLY commercial, he actually got away with the pilfered cereal by hiding it -- "And sometimes for tricky rabbits!". There have been events where people could vote whether he could have some. He's always won, but often, he still only gets to enjoys a couple of spoonfuls before the kids take it away again - either that or he eats it all in one go, only to find the kids won't let him get any more.
** A [[Bait and Switch]] commercial had the Trix Rabbit buy a box of the cereal from a convenience store, and then go into his kitchen late at night, removing the disguise, and pointing out that all the kids are asleep and he can finally get a bowl of delicious Trix! Cue him pouring the milk, which has only a single drop. Rabbit does a wild take, then a black screen: ''Got Milk?''
* The kids in "Lucky Charms" are constantly robbing a leprechaun blind of his possessions. He seems to be enjoying this. It helps that Lucky has magic powers to fly away or rescue his cereal if he doesn't want it taken, though he'll often bungle these spells resulting in the kids getting his cereal anyway. He's sometimes shown making new Lucky Charms marshmallows for the kids' enjoyment.
