* [http://nonadventures.com/2007/02/24/merchant-of-menace/ This] episode of ''[[The Non-Adventures of Wonderella]]'', in the fifth panel.
* ''[[Head Trip]]'' presents [http://headtrip.keenspot.com/d/20150126.html a warning] that runs across four more and more distressed [[Beat Panel]]s.
* Parodied in [http://www.bobandgeorge.com/karnak/index.php?comic=171 this]{{Dead link}} "The Karnak Hates Everything Show" strip with Monoxyploxium. It doesn't tell you what it does at first ("Recently we decided that's none of your damn business"), only that you should buy it now because "You may very well be suffering from up to six medical crises of which you know absolutely nothing." Though apparently it keeps your lymph nodes from exploding and spraying relatives with fluids.
* ''[[Penny Arcade]]''
** Parodied in [http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2008/02/08 this strip].

* [http://www.havidol.com Havidol] is a comic parody of the whole concept. It was created to demonstrate some of the problems with aggressive pharmaceutical advertising campaigns.
* "[https://web.archive.org/web/20070430071029/http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/electronic-publications/stay-free/archives/ads/panexa.html Panexa]. Ask your doctor for a reason to take it." A hilarious parody of this sort of ads, complete with an enormous number of [[Happy Fun Ball]]-like disclaimers and warnings.
* Unusually for a parody of this trope, [http://www.somethinghappens.net/d/20060627.html Eternazec]'s side effects are logically tied to the primary effect. Oh, except for itchy armpits. However, it's [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2nMkpMvvgY4 an ad for E*Trade], spoofing the whole thing by showing the usual meadow shots during the listing, that uses perhaps the all-time champion list of preposterous side effects: "Nozulla may cause the following symptoms: itchy rashes, full body hair loss, projectile vomiting, gigantic eyeball, the condition known as 'hot dog fingers,' children born with the head of a golden retriever, seeing the dead, bone liquification, possession by the Prince of Darkness, tail growth, elderly pregnancy, [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|back pain]]...."
* A joke ad on J.K. Rowling's website includes the following fine print: "Healer's warning: side-effects include dizziness, vomiting, and tusks."
