Line 15:
** Same with Jules Jurgensen.
** Michael C. Fina Co. is also more well known for offering game show prizes, but is still well in business.
* The classic [[Consolation Prize]]s in television [[Game Show]]s included "Rice-a-Roni, the [[San Francisco]] treat" and "a case of Turtle Wax".
** [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] in [["Weird Al" Yankovic]]'s [[Affectionate Parody]] "I Lost on [[Jeopardy!]]" with a claim (delivered by announcer Al Pardo) that the defeated contestant doesn't get the whole list of minor "promotional consideration" prizes and doesn't even get "a copy of our lousy [[Home Game]]." "Guess what, Al. Here is what you didn't win... because you're a COMPLETE LOSER."
* Fox Sports is the oddest example of the trope, ending every game broadcast with a blue screen featuring thanks to product manufacturers for putting ads on the game, and the voicing of the line above.
* For years [[WWE]] programming would end with "Promotional Consideration has been paid for by the following..." read by Lord Alfred Hayes.
Line 20 ⟶ 22:
* Spoofed in ''[[You Don't Know Jack]]: The Ride'', where each "episode" is brought to you by a fictional (and often quite silly) product or business. In the 2011 version of the game, the "Wrong Answer of the Game" is similarly sponsored by a bizarre product related to it (such as "Granny's Roach Butter").
* Also parodied in ''[[The Fairly OddParents]]'' episode "Odd Ball", which was said to be sponsored by "Farmer Ahab's Blubber Nuggets".
* ''[[The Simpsons]]'':
* Doubly parodied in [[Futurama]]; the [[Couch Gag]] at the beginning of a couple of shows had sponsors of Molten Boron (with the [[Jingle]] 'Nobody doesn't like molten boron!') and Torgo's Executive Powder), and in-universe, the Omicronians' ritual eating of Leela in ''The Problem with Popplers'' was brought to you by Fishy Joe's new ''extreme'' walrus juice. (Ride the walrus!)
