* An ad for Sunfresh Tomatoes decries the idea that squeezing a tomato will give you a hint as to its freshness and flavor. Which it does with a "parody" of a wartime hospital, complete with tomato juice "blood" squirting everywhere and loud, ''agonized'' screams from the damaged produce...
* An [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTeC9fKlHSk ad for the Scion XD] takes the viewer into a dark, gritty, [[dystopia]]n world inhabited by "sheeple", then lets loose monsters called the "little deviants" to tear them apart in a way that's probably meant to [[Crosses the Line Twice|cross the line twice]], or at least provide [[Comedic Sociopathy]], but instead comes across as bone-chilling, complete with a [[Bloodless Carnage|bloodless severed head sliding into the street]]. The sheeple themselves live on the slopes that border the [[Uncanny Valley]], as well.

Bash them! smash them! Now they're history!"
* There was a commercial for a game called ''Battle Tanks'' featuring Snuggles the fabric softener bear getting run over then blown to smithereens by a tank, at the end of the commercial Snuggles comes back badly damaged missing her legs, one arm, and an eyeball, and coughing up stuffing.
