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.
  • 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.
