Let's Just Talk About More Weird Ads That I Found!, Oh How I Love Making These Weird Ad Posts!
- GEICO:
- A commercial has the gecko and an executive talking about the trust that Geico represents. The executive proposes one of those corporate trust-building exercises, in which he will fall backwards and the gecko will catch him. The gecko, being about 8 inches high, attempts to talk him down to no avail. The last shot is the gecko, as the executive begins to lean back, looking up: "oh dear ..."
- Another commercial where the Gecko is eating a bag of chips. The CEO commented he wanted to show him the first dollar he ever made. Cue the look on the gecko's face when he realized the dollar he used to buy the chips was said dollar.
- The commercials for Raid pest spray have been doing this for years, with whatever Talking Pest in the commercial shouting "RAAAAAAAAAAID!" before he begins to fall after a person using Raid.
- The GameStop bunny has one of these.
- The Chips Ahoy commercial where the human-sized talking cookie is at a little girl's birthday, having fun with the kids, but then asks:
- An Energizer Bunny commercial featuring Dracula resulted in him invoking this trope in a rather Snarker fashion after locking himself out of his castle chasing the Bunny...at daybreak.
- Dracula: Oh, great. *POOF*
- A M&M's commercial come to mind:
- In this one "Red" (aka "Milk Chocolate") is set up with "Kristin" by "Ms. Brown" and Kristin locks the doors once she's alone with Red.
- In a 2014 Walgreens Christmas commercial, a mother and father are eating the cookies they left out for Santa, when they glance out the window and see the big man on the roof of a neighbor's house. They get this trope and then race out to replace the cookies they ate, making it just in time.
- Glock. Somebody ''really'' picked the wrong diner...
