Freud Was Right/Advertising
- There's a web ad featuring a sword (held by someone offscreen) pointing directly at a woman's ample cleavage. You'd never know it was a fantasy game and not eroge.
- And, of course, the woman isn't even in the game (Evony, if you were wondering).
- Subway. "Five dollar foot longs," indeed.
- And Quizno's Toasty Torpedo. "Put it in me, Scott."
- Nokia. "Connecting People".
- This magazine ad (taken from a FOX News slide show for lousy advertisements) for Macho Cologne.
- Many ads featured there fit, such as one displaying a man pointing his cigarette at some voluptuous ladies, and numerous ones about the benefits of women smoking.
- There was a particular Top Gear ad that actually had a bit of fun with this trope: A man drives by in his big fancy car, stops at the lights and gives a big grin to an attractive woman next to the street. She responds by flicking her little finger at him in a "Compensating For Something" manner. What does he do? Flicks his little finger at her, only it's huge.
- In this Japanese commercial a guy shoots bananas into the lap of a sad woman and she becomes happy again.
- The "Property Virgins" commercial.
- This old commercial for Squeezit drinks took this to a whole new level. Not only did the drinks themselves and the "squeezing" have some phallic reminders, but there is a boy squeezing a football that is positioned covering his pants, a boy holding a camera with a blub for the flash that extends upward, a boy squeezing a giant hotdog, wait it gets better, that suddenly shoots out of the bun, and to top it off a girl has a bucket of popcorn that sprays popcorn over all of the kids present.
Nostalgia Critic: Here's a fun game to play at home. Count all the phallic symbols.
- SUVs. Just their design could not be for anything but this.
- The Shake Weight Commercial
- An ad campaign for Pepto-Bismol had the slogan "Are Your Favorite Foods Fighting You?" leading to food fighting people. One advertisement had a man at a fair eating a corn dog. The corn dog proceeds to waggle back and forth vigorously against his lips and face, slathering it with a coating of mustard.
