== [[Live-Action TV]] ==
* An episode of ''[[Beakman's World]]'' dealt with the ridiculous question of whether or not your intestinal gas could cause the toilet to explode. Lester the Rat spends the entire segment holding it and waiting to see if it's safe for him to use the restroom. [[What an Idiot!|Apparently all the times throughout his life that he used the toilet without an explosion weren't proof enough for him.]]
** Of course, as par for the course with [[Beakman's World]], the question was not ''that'' ridiculous. It turns out they used to explode
* Parodied by real
== [[Video Games]] ==
* The [[GTA Radio]] segments for Ammu-Nation (the gun store parody) love this trope. One particular version of this was citing a statistic about how a burglar could break into your house, have his way with your wife, then have time to go back for seconds before the police would arrive. After warning the listener not to let this happen to them, they used this to segue into the Ammu-Nation ad.
** Some of the other commercials for other products, like for sunscreen and other similar products, would also warn of dire consequences that could happen to the listener, then would immediately segue into the commercial, often exaggerating the dire consequences of not doing so in the process.
