Mortal Kombat II parodies this in the friendship move done by the male ninja characters, where they flat out tell the player to buy a doll of him.

Freakazoid! had an episode that was essentially a commercial for a toy of his car, the Freakmobile. It even comes with its own chubby sidekick figure. They tell the viewer to run right out and get one NOW. At the end the narrator reads off a disclaimer telling the viewer not to go anywhere as (sadly) the toys don't really exist and it's all a jokenote Selling merchandise within the show, as well as during commercial breaks within the same program, has been illegal on American television since 1990..

Joueur du Grenier: A Running Gag on merch-based series that started with the Beyblade special is an annoying jingle repeatedly singing "Just buy! Our crap!", combined with screen messages like "YOU NEED THIS" and "IF YOU CAN'T BUY IT KILL YOURSELF".

Smallville also featured a bevy of Warner Bros. artists during its run on the The WB network. After each episode, they'd name the song and artists featured in that show, and point you to where you could buy their album.

Bloom County introduced Bill the Cat with strips plugging Bill-themed products, in a not-too-subtle Take That! against the Garfield merchandising empire, the joke being that "cats are cute" (allegedly) but Bill really isn't.

Daria never had an explicit advertisement for music, but a lot of the background music was from artists MTV was trying to push at the time. It became a problem when releasing the show for DVD because they had to replace all of the music with generic background tracks, least they get into a nightmare of licensing fees.

Kaamelott: In-Universe. Father Blaise is conducting tours of Kaamelott, including the throne room and Arthur's tomb (Arthur is understandably somewhat miffed), ending with "We would like to remind you that model Excaliburs are on sale at the end of the tour".

Between matches, Ring of Honor often has clips of wrestlers updating fans about their latest products. And ACH seemingly couldn't wait even that long.

Parodied in Johnny Bravo: At the end of an episode of the Show Within a Show Clam League 9000 (which looks like a bizarre mixture of Pokémon: The Series and Dragon Ball Z), the protagonist literally shouts at the viewer "And you can too if you go to the store and BUY OUR TOYS! BUY OUR TOYS! BUY OUR TOYS!"

South Park:
In the episode "Towelie", they break to a fake commercial selling a Towelie towel. Incidentally, you can really buy one (not exactly the same, as it doesn't have a speech chip).
In "Free Hat", there's a a fake advertisement for a George Lucas Altered Version of the show's very first episode, complete with the aliens and spaceship being replaced with CGI versions, and characters and creatures from Star Wars inexplicably roaming around.

Parodied to hell and back in Spaceballs. Yoghurt has an entire scene dedicated to showing of merchandise, and claims the sequel will be "Spaceballs II: The Search for More Money". A subversion, since George Lucas allowed them to parody Star Wars only if they didn't make any merchandise.
