Line 17:
** [[ESPN]] absolutely loves this trope, really. ''[[Sports Center]]'' tends to be littered with [[Enforced Plug]]s for pretty much every movie Disney (who owns 80% of the network) wants to hype up, and even some non-Disney ones.
** Since obviously its players are right within its demographics, ESPN's coverage of the Little League World Series is always peppered with [[Disney Channel]] cross-promotion nowadays... as in having acts related to Disney Channel's Flavor of the Month perform a [[Title Theme Tune]] and appear in [[Eyecatches]], advertisements, etc. In recent years, these have included the [[Jonas Brothers]], ''[[High School Musical]]'', etc. Though, beginning in 2010, its been ''[[Phineas and Ferb]]'' themed, complete with a parody of the show's usual intro.
* There was a commercial (probably featured on one of those "best commercial" shows) that started out as a Haagen-Dazs ad, complete with a passionate couple in bed with the yogurt.{{verify}}<!-- MOD: I thought Haagen-Dazs made ice cream, not yogurt. --> At one point they run out, so the guy goes to the refrigerator to get more... and his attention turns to the Fosters lager near it. Next thing you know, he's drinking beer and watching the game.
* VISA made a number of entire commercials for real life vacation resorts and such, then noting at the end that said location doesn't accept American Express, so be sure to bring your VISA card instead. They do the same with the [[Olympic Games]].
* On a more local level, an Austin, Texas, bodyshop had a commercial with a local roofing company owner, where he'd talk about the bodyshop, then move to shilling his own company before being fussed at by the director. Both were advertising hail damage repair.
** Carlos and Charlie's always makes a point to mention its next-door neighbor, Just For Fun watercraft rental. [[Lampshaded]] when one of the [[Talking Animal|spokesfrogs]] started with the latter name instead of the former.
* Fittingly considering [[Merchandise-Driven|the series]], a lot of adds for the live action ''[[Transformers (film)|Transformers]]'' movie doubled as ads for the vehicles that the Autobots transformed into. They even sold a special Ironhide model of the one truck for a while (which, sadly, did not come with rocket launchers or turn into an alien robot).
* One of the [[The Man Your Man Could Smell Like|
* Goody's and BC, two brands of powdered headache medicine, have started doing cross-promotional radio ads; the two formerly competing products are now both owned by pharmaceutical conglomerate GSK.
* Rhode Island family-owned furniture chain Cardi's self-produces its local ads. When other local companies use Cardi's production services, the Cardi brothers will have a cameo in those ads as well.
