Line 24:
* There was an ad for what at the time was the latest version of Office that showed a man sitting at his office desk, which was racing through the desert. The disclaimer was again, "Do not attempt."
* In a recent Degree ad, a man, after smelling the deodorant they were advertising, proceeds to leap out an airplane, with his shopping cart, and land on the ground, riding the shopping cart down the freeway. Only when he makes it in between two 18-wheelers do we see the "Do not attempt" disclaimer.
* A [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sn_pU0K8U0s British Kellogg's commercial] for one of its brands, Crunchy Nut, showed a man riding on the back of an Irish Wolfhound in order to get home to have a bowl of the product - this advert contained a "Don't try this with your dog at home" on-screen disclaimer during scenes of the man on dog-back. Ninety-three people complained to the UK [[Moral Guardian|Advertising Standards Authority]] about the commercial, but [https://web.archive.org/web/20060925213212/http://www.asa.org.uk/asa/adjudications/Public/TF_ADJ_41725.htm the complaints were not upheld].
* Ads showing a Post-it on a wall supporting a kid/a dog. Brief text says "Just Kidding. Cannot support a child/dog." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=avsOSeXtGAw
* There was a British commercial for a brand of cereal (IIRC) that tasted so good a man ''ran back into a burning building'' to finish a bowl. There was a caption that read "In a real emergency get out and call the fire brigade", but that wasn't good enough for the regulators who pulled the ad off the air after a couple of days.
Line 214:
** And recently they've been having wrestlers tell the viewers not to try any stunts at home about three times per two-hour episode, probably due to [[Executive Meddling]] caused by WWE now trying to pander to children as their main audience.
*** Now they've gone one further with their PSAs, saying "Don't try this." No at home. Don't try it '''anywhere'''. Someone probably used [[Exact Words]] and tried it somewhere other than at home.
* From Kaiju Big Battel's PSA: "[http://www.heavy.com/video/dont-try-this-at-home-10909 'Danger Can Happen... So, please- no matter how well you know the mayor- EVEN IF YOU'RE FRIENDS WITH JACK BAUER- Please, don't try this at home.' (Text: Seriously, Don't Try This At Home.)]{{Dead link}}
