A variation of [[Absolute Comparative]] that shows up mostly in children's commercials. An advertiser uses completely made-up adjectives to describe their product. Whether this invokes [[Totally Radical]] or [[Weasel Words]] is up to the reader.

* ''[http://community.livejournal.com/mspaint_lolz/2487.html Howse!!!]'' Dr. Eric "Crankypants" Foreman says:
{{quote| "There aren't actually enough words in the English language to fully describe how much I hate you. So I made up a couple. "Detestispize" seems to sum it up the best."}}

* Strong Bad from [[Homestar Runner]] has coined "extracurriculariffic", and his Sblounskched! candy bar has a "crispety, cookety log" in the middle (a cookie center hollowed out to make room for more "candy matter"). There's a lot more. In fact the [[Wiki Rule|Homestar Runner Wiki]] has a page devoted to all the made-up words!

* In ''[[Jimmy Neutron]]'', [[Cloudcuckoolander|Hugh]] says stuff like "funkariffic" and "puppetastic". [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] by Jimmy who asks if they are real words.
* In [[Spongebob SquarePants]], Patrick talks about the word [[Perfectly Cromulent Word|wumbo]], citing "Wumborama" and "Wumbology: The study of wumbo."
* In the big musical number of the first season finale of [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]], Applejack mentions her "Appletastic" treats.
** Even before that, in the episode "Applebuck Season," Pinkie Pie refers to Applejack diverting a stampede of cows from Ponyville as "Appletastic."
** The eponymous Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000 is apparently "Icantbelievable". Mind you, what kind of advertising did you expect from the ''Flim Flam'' Brothers?
