Related to [[Product As Superhero]]. Antiparticle of [[Cereal Vice Reward]]. Compare/see also [[Delicious Distraction]]. Not related to the Delicious Fruit of ''[[I Wanna Be the Guy]]''.
{{examples
* [[Seanbaby]] has [http://www.seanbaby.com/hostess.htm a whole bunch of these ads] archived.
Line 37:
* Another parody from R.K. Milholland's ''[http://www.superstupor.com/sust01042008.shtml Super Stupor]''.
** And don't forget when Davan created stats for one of those villains and managed to capture his players, making Jason want to know the saving throw to commit suicide.
* Parodied in ''[[Wizard Magazine|Wizard]]'' magazine, which featured Jesse Custer and the cast of ''[[Preacher (Comic Book)]]'' in a mock-Hostess fruit pies ad.
** Another Wizard ad had this, featuring the 'heroes' of Marvel Zombies. Instead of fruit pies, they find two kids. Two ''tasty'' kids.
* Yet another parody in an ''[[Earthbound]]'' [http://starmen.net/comics/series/nahaf/ fancomic], using Rock Candy and Magic Pudding (both of which are items from the game.)
Line 43:
* The video game ''[[Spider-Man Friend or Foe]]'' has a fun reference, as one of Spidey's post-battle quips is along the lines of "I could go for a fruit pie right about now."
** The tie-in game for the third movie had the Apocalypse gang stealing these at every frakking opportunity, with everyone openly referring to them with the full trope name. Spidey would actually [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshade]] this, by asking "without fruit pies, what'll I use to distract supervillains?" In addition, there'd occasionally be a truck driver with a dodgy Indian accent who would protest that he couldn't deliver [[Delicious Fruit Pies]] on time because the truck had broken down.
* Parodied in ''[[Green Lantern]] Secret Files And Origins'', which featured "the tastiest Green Lantern / [[Flash]] team-ups ever!" First the [[The Golden Age of Comic Books|Golden Age]] GL and Flash defeat Nazi saboteurs with the aid of Secret Files candy bars, and their secret ingredient. Then the [[The Silver Age of Comic Books|Silver Age]] incarnations use the "space age taste" of Secret Files bars to expose alien criminals disguised as alien policemen (the real policemen absorb energy). Finally the [[The Modern Age of Comic Books|Modern Age]] versions (Kyle Rayner and Walter West<ref>Not Wallace "Wally" West - it's complicated but involves parallel universes and Abra Kadabra</ref>) are halfway through an ad for Secret Files Powerbars, before Kyle starts complaining it doesn't make sense. "We defeat the bad guy by giving him ''food''? And why is he standing at ground zero of his own weapon anyway? [[Who Writes This Crap?|Who wrote this]]?" While Kyle argues with the director of what now turns out to be a TV ad, and learns they're still working off Alan and Jay's contracts, Walter learns that the "secret ingredient" is ''sugar''.
* ''[[The Onion]]:'' [http://www.theonion.com/content/node/32002 Spiderman Distracts Dr. Octopus With Delicious Hostess Fruit Pies]
* ''[[Killroy And Tina]]'' shows us [http://www.graphicsmash.com/comics/killroyandtina.php?name=killroyandtina&view=single&ID=4594 the way it should work.]
Line 53:
* A collection of ''[[Watchmen]]'' [http://theoryofeverythingcomics.com/2009/03/collection-of-watchmenhostess-parodies.html Delicious Fruit Pies] parodies.
* A post modern dadaist version of [http://theoryofeverythingcomics.com/2008/08/post-modern-dada-and-something-with.html Delicious Fruit Pies]
* Dan Slott's ''Spider-Man/Human Torch'' mini-series had a scene in one issue where Spider-Man distracted the Red Ghost's Super Apes (who had stolen the infamous [[Thememobile|Spider-Mobile]]) by snagging a store display of fruit pies with his webbing and yanking the display into the street. The apes immediately attacked the fruit pies and forgot about Spider-Man and the Torch. Spidey immediately calls the ad agency that gave him the car and tells them that the deal's off, [[Historical
* A [http://tgcaps.com/caps/modcomics/suedenim/jetdream/jet-dream-1970-annual/AD_01.jpg.php recaptioned Hostess ad] appears in the [[Gender Bender|gender bending]] [[Affectionate Parody|parody]] ''[[Jet Dream]]'' [[Remix Comic]]. The fruit pies have significant side effects, but they are [[Second Law of Gender Bending|apparently considered desirable ones]].
* ''[[Welcome to Tranquility]]'' gives us an ad for Minxy Millions Mini-Pies. In "Maxi Man vs. the Vampire," Maxi-Man helps some disco-loving teens escape a vampire's bite by giving the vampire Minxy Fruit Mini-Pies (oh, and also by knocking out the vampire's fangs.) "It tastes similar to real fruit!"<ref>''[[Welcome to Tranquility]]: One Foot in the Grave'' #3</ref>
