** There's a similar commercial for the Humane Society with sad, abused animals in cages, staring at the viewer with Sorrowful Eyes, over captions like "Why do they beat me?" "When will someone come get me?" while [[Sarah McLachlan]]'s "Angel" plays. Makes it hard to get back to the inanity of ''[[Cheers]]'' and the like.
** Hulu, which is basically TV online(complete with commercials) has this in spades. So you're watching a dramatic show where the main character just died/killed someone important/reunited with a lost family member when- Bam! A chipper commercial about makeup or iPods whith bright colors and upbeat music. The fact that most of the commercials aren't lined up to places where there originally should have been a break on the initial TV run just makes it all worse.
* ''[http://www.onesentence.org/ One Sentence]'' splashes itself all over the [[Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism]], with one entry providing definitive proof that [[Humans Are

One moment, the music leading up to the intro is [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z8ExMR0c0aM a smooth, James Taylor song]...a couple of moments later, the Loma Prieta earthquake hits.
* [[HBO]]'s Comic Relief specials would often alternate between hilarious stand-up comedy performances and solemn "please help the homeless" speeches. Granted, the help the homeless message was the point of the specials, but it was still jarring.
* Any sort of music player that allows you to randomly shuffle your music qualifies, as you can go from [[Ominous Latin Chanting]] to peppy upbeat pop music or pretty much anything else.
