|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>
