|This political ad featured a little girl counting petals as she's taking them off of a daisy flower, only for her voice to be replaced by a nuclear launch countdown announcement. It then zooms into her eye as it shows a nuclear bomb going off while Lyndon B. Johnson's voice is heard stating these are the stakes and that we must either love each other or die (thus obviously implying that voting for his opponent Barry Goldwater is a vote for [[nuclear war]]) before requesting that the people vote for Johnson on November 3. The ad is especially infamous as being the first negative political ad and credited to Johnson's win.

|Made by [[George Lucas]] and based largely on the Daisy ad noted above, and aimed directly at voters in Ohio, it opens up with a nuclear explosion as well as a narrator stating that a nuclear bomb is capable of slaughtering over a million people, and stating that that number compares to the populace of Columbus, Ohio. It then cuts to a clip of MSNBC commentator [[Chris Matthews]] interviewing Donald Trump on ''Hardball'', where he stated to Trump that "A guy running for president of the United States talking of maybe using nuclear weapons… Nobody wants to hear that from an American president.", with Trump bluntly asking "Then why are we making them? Why do we make them?", with the last question echoing as another bomb goes off with the obvious attempt at trying to scare voters into thinking he'll jump-start a nuclear war, with text saying "Be careful who you vote for."

|Spreads belief in the fictitious "pink tax," a theory that women have to pay more for female-specific products.  Promotes feminism.  Received a large amount of criticism from conservatives and libertarians.

|The luxury jewelry and specialty retailer shoehorned the homosexual agenda, and its support for it, into its TV/YouTube commercial for one of its fragrances by placing several brief clips of two men kissing into the ad.  On the YouTube video's comment section, any criticism of the video and its pushing of the homosexual agenda has been childishly attacked by liberal fans of the video, while YouTube has been quick to delete critical comments without legitimate justification under bogus "hate speech" claims (as legitimate criticism of homosexuality and the homosexual agenda is ''not'' "hate speech").

|A series of ads by telecommunications provider AT&T engage in racism and sexism by depicting white males as "stupid" and "incompetent".<ref>[https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2020/01/hey_att_flagrant_racism_and_sexism_are_not_ok.html Hey, AT&T, Flagrant Racism and Sexism Are 'Not OK'] at American Thinker</ref>  Another ad by the company also pushes the homosexual agenda by showing a homosexual male couple leaving their children with a female babysitter who turns out to be questionable at her job.  In addition, on its YouTube channel, AT&T has disabled comments for the videos of those ads to avoid the inevitable criticism of the ads that would have come their way, demonstrating the company's lack of courage of its convictions.
