* This driver's-ed [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjoPZzG_oVk&feature=related video]. It should speak for itself.
Line 85:
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5bju8ybvSs& "Thank You Sarah Palin"].
* The Magic Bullet To Go infomercial. While the first had the distinction of colourful, wacky characters congregating over a small machine after a party the previous night, it didn't have Dino. Dino makes his first appearance in the To Go infomercial, and the actor playing him is so bad that it makes every line top-grade Narm fuel. Just [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5nmEqSD_MBQ check out] the way he says "Whoa! That is magic." at 3:49.
* [https://web.archive.org/web/20131106151227/http://www.chick.com/catalog/books/vampire.asp This book ad] from [[Jack Chick]]'s homepage. Forget being ex-gay; this guy's an ex-Cthulhu-worshipping ex-vampire!

* [https://web.archive.org/web/20130601175320/http://www.quercustv.org/spip.php?article181 This anti-global-warming PSA from Quercus, a Portuguese environmentalist group]. It starts out visually striking with the shots of desolate wastelands and melting ice-caps; then {{spoiler|the monkey hangs itself}}, and it runs shrieking into Narm territory. The CGI lip-quivering should have been a warning. And that was with the original sad piano score. The second version backed by Peter Gabriel's "Don't Give Up" is even ''worse''.
* The Canadian "Home Front" domestic abuse PSAs. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pj_DS4YXB1I "You stupid BITCH!"] Or better yet, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZQLeeNo6Qw "She spilled my coffee!"]
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-yGTrd4Z7I This old British PSA from the late 1970s] that warned children not to play in electrical substations could either be considered hilariously Narmy or pure horror.
* A fairly well-known healthcare system in metropolitan Detroit has, as of late, become known not for the quality of their medical services, but for their [https://www.beaumonthospitals.com/ horribly over-the-top commercials,] which skip right past [[Scare 'Em Straight]] and into Narm territory. These gems come complete with dim lighting, silently frowning (or gowned and masked) medical staff, pounding [[Scare Chord]] music and a deadly serious voiceover actor reading lines like "Choosing a hospital could be the most important decision you'll ever make" and "It's your heart/eyes/life/whatever... Do you have a Beaumont doctor?" The general effect of the commercials has been to generate an epidemic of spontaneous gluteal detachment secondary to laughter overdose in the viewing population. And then they promptly go get treated somewhere that doesn't sound like a [[Vincent Price]] film gone wrong.

* National Organization for Marriage's [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4AzLrn5JVIo&feature=related "Gathering Storm"] ad. They might as well be saying, "[[Gay Panic|OMG teh gayzz are coming to get us haaaalp!]]"
