Examples of Freudian Excuses in Advertising include:

• The Angry Whopper from Burger King is extra spicy. Why? Because the onions were grown by an abusive farmer.
• The nefarious Ice Cream Hater from one Captain Carvel story (ads told in comic book for that appeared in mainline comic books). His name is Icabod Charles Earl Cream, his name forming an acronym that caused him to be mocked as a child, resulting in him hating ice cream and vowing to destroy the whole industry.
