• Two Infiniti commercials. In one, a man is pelted with a few snowballs by a neighbor, so he rolls a giant monster snowball that utterly destroys the neighbor's car. In the other, the same man is hit by a single snowball by the neighbor, so he calls his son and recruits all the children in the neighborhood to pummel the neighbor with snowballs as he gets out of his car.
• Commercials for Jello Temptations revolve around parents punishing their children for -- GASP -- eating their adult pudding! In one, the mother uses storytime as a not-so-veiled threat that she's going to make all her daughter's favorite things disappear FOREVER because she stole her snack; another uses a campfire horror story about 'the Chocobeast' to terrorize her kids with her husband's help. A third involves an Imagine Spot where a boy thinks about how his parents will turn him out onto the streets if he dares eat their pudding...
  • Another one featured the parents talking to two little kids and telling them a story about a girl who took some Jello Temptations and fell into a pit with boogeymen and snakes and stayed there for a hundred years. The kids are visibly terrified.
  • Then there's poor Olive, who is forced into child labor by working in a coal mine for eating the pudding. Apparently Chocolate Temptations is looking to tap into the 'Abusive Parents who enjoy chocolate pudding' market.
• New commercials for a kind of macaroni and cheese features kids doing this to their parents for taking some of their mac and cheese. The punishments involve pawning their jewelry and golf clubs and getting them arrested.
• The infamous "No Pressure" commercials for the 10:10 campaign, which had people (including Children Are Innocent!) getting blown up for not agreeing to take part.
• The "Respect the Pouch" ads for Capri Sun juice. For the unforgivable crime of not respecting the pouch, innocent kids are turned into various Humanoid Abominations, like having their hands and feet turned into whoopie cushions, having their entire body, except their head deflate, and one kid being being turned into a dog's chew toy.
• Spilling coffee is unforgivable.
