Most commercials will tell you to buy their product. However, there's a small subset of commercials that implore you not to buy the product advertised, because it's harming the person or thing making the plea. Won't you please think of us and don't buy this wonderful product?
An attempt by ad executives at Reverse Psychology. Call it one of the "perks" of living in a post-modern world, and try not to follow the chocolate bunnies' example over it. See also Talking Pest, Our Product Sucks.

Burger King had a Chicken Run promotion that used a similar tactic, with the movie chickens telling people driving by the farm to eat more beef to save them.

The workless Maytag repair men commercials were harshly parodied in Robot Chicken, where the out-of-work repair man goes home to a screaming wife and they have a huge argument.

The "Boycott Spyro..." campaign for the first game in the series, led (more like single-handedly run) by a grouchy anthropomorphic sheep (who also turns out to be the first boss). Like the probable response towards this entry, no one really cares.

The "Your Mother Hates Dead Space 2" commercial, which features a group of women from middle-aged to elderly, absolutely horrified by the game (one even vowed to smash her kid's video game console if she ever caught them playing it)-except for one lady who thinks it's hilarious.
