|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.

|Frosty the Inappropriate Snowman
|[[CBS]]
|2009
|As implied by the title, CBS, in an very poorly conceived attempt at marketing both the annual showing of the animated classic specials ''[[Frosty the Snowman]]'' and ''Frosty Returns'' and the then-airing shows ''How I Met Your Mother'' and ''[[Two and a Half Men]]'', created two ads featuring clips for Frosty and various characters, with the audio replaced with various character lines from those shows (with Frosty in particular having lines taken directly from Barney and Charlie Harper, played by Neil Patrick Harris and Charlie Sheen, respectively). Needless to say, the result is the animated characters making references to family unfriendly concepts including STDs, porn, and one-night stands, and even referencing prostitution at least once, something which received a lot of negative controversy.<ref>https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/cbs-frosty-the-inappropriate-snowman-ad-riles-critics</ref><ref>https://www.mediaite.com/tv/frosty-the-inappropriate-snowman-really-cbs/</ref><ref>https://www.huffpost.com/entry/neil-patrick-harris-is-fr_n_378021</ref><ref>https://weeklyworldnews.com/headlines/14289/frosty-the-inappropriate-snowman/</ref>
