Tradesnarkâ„¢	comment	A humorous way to make Thingsâ„¢ stand out is to add Random Trademark SymbolsÂ® everywhere. May be used as a Social CommentaryÂ® on our increasingly homogenized, commercialized WorldÂ®, but more often than not, done just because of the Rule of Funnyâ„ . They can also be used to point out how Clicheâ„¢ something is, or employed in Sarcasm Mode (perhaps in conjunction with Scare Quotesâ„ ) to passive-aggressively imply that something exists only as a Conceptâ„¢; for example, some people refer to global warming as "Global Warmingâ„¢". Another sarcastic variationâ„ is to sprinkle Trade Snark over your paraphrase of an opponent's position to imply that they're using the term in question as a meaningless buzzwordÂ®. For added Spiceâ„¢, try adding Registered TrademarkÂ® and CopyrightÂ© SymbolsÂ®Â©â„¢. (This is not actually How Copyright Worksâ„¢.) And of course, it's always fun to have characters with Medium Awarenessâ„¢ compliment others on their expert use of the "â„¢," especially if the symbol appears on the word as written but not the word as spoken. Compare Stuck on Band-Aid Brand for a similarly awkward attempt to acknowledge ownership of a brand, minus the Lampshade Hanging. Disney Owns This Trope is related; it's when you make a joke that a concept, especially one that shouldn't or couldn't belong to a company, is now a trademark.

Tradesnarkâ„¢ / int_359b115d	comment	Kamen Rider Zero-One distinguishes the protagonist's company, Hiden Intelligence, from their rival ZAIA Enterprise in part by having ZAIA miss no opportunity to loudly promote their brand as part of their Corporate-Sponsored Superhero. Not only does Thouser's transformation jingle end in "Presented by ZAIA!", the special effects that accompany his Finishing Move emblazon the screen itself with Â© ZAIA Enterprise. For extra Jerkass points, Thouser is a copyright troll - most of his technology is stolen from others, and his main weapon (the Thousand Jacker) even lets him steal and copyright the heroes' attacks during a fight. ZAIA, the jet-black soldier from Kamen Rider Metsuboujinrai, takes this trope to an extreme: Not only is he named after the company, he also announces (verbally) "Presented by ZAIA!" after transforming in front of Jin. Even in death, he still gets one last chance to promote not only his brand, but also glorify himself with two simple words, in his dying breath: "ZAIA...forever!"
