Not in the least.
Anyone remember the time 20 years ago when McDonald’s ran a web ad depicting a guy who wanted to fuck one of their double cheeseburgers?
“Double Cheeseburger? I’d hit it. I’m a dollar menu guy.”
I have to agree w @DrDeth here. Anyone seeing Oedipal vibes there is projecting like a … well … mofo.
Last Week Tonight did a whole long segment on structured settlements, starting with those ads, and as you might expect it is a long and twisted story of misery and exploitation. In short, the number of people able to live off of structured settlements is drastically reduced by companies like JG Wentworth who prey on them.
Cf. the Hardee’s commercial that implied their burgers taste like ass:
At the end, he says to his wife, “There’s one more benefit. It’s made you a lot nicer to me.”
What does that mean? She was an utter hag until you started taking this supplement?
That’s a pretty ugly thing to say, LSLGuy. DrDeth was able to disagree with the premise without making any gross personal implications about me in the process.
I apologize that the joke fell flat for you.
I thought the joke was funny but the verb “projecting” unnecessary, and as we see, capable of being read as an insulting insinuation.
I propose as a friendly amendment the revised version ”misinterpreting like a mofo”, which in addition provides a stronger alliterative allusion to the immortal line that generated this idiom in the first place. 
Thank you. That would have been better. Lots better. I screwed up.
Which commercial are you referring to?
I used to see McDonald’s billdboard ads with a dude looking at a hamburger saying, “I’d hit that.” I’m pretty sure McDonald’s didn’t understand the phrase was an idiom for having sex.
Edit: Once again, I need to remind myself to read the thread before bringing something up.
I just saw one of those “Buy Gold” ads, which is all about how the dollar has lost so much value and gold has gained so much, so this company is totally willing to give you gold in exchange for dollars. I feel so sorry for that company making such an obviously financially foolish offer that I refuse to take advantage of their blunders.
Decades ago, when the Dark Age of Technology was in its infancy, I worked for Motorola. Chris Galvin had recently become top dog (President? CEO? I can’t recall), and there was a big deal when they gathered us all together so Galvin could call and talk to us live on a satellite phone from a rowboat in the middle of a lake far off in the untamed wilderness.
Part of the presentation was a private screening of a new, very artistic ad for the upcoming Motorola RAZR phone that featured fluttering John Woo-esque doves and dreamy visuals set to the Rolling Stones’ “You Can’t Always Get What You Want.”
Of course, if you know the song, the resolution is that while you can’t always get what you want, if you try sometimes, you get what you need. The way the commercial was cut, though, it just kept repeating “you can’t always get what you want.”
We’re talking about cell phones here. Back then (c. 1998), cell phones were a luxury item rather than a ubiquitous necessity, so it struck us all as very odd that you’d want to drill into your viewers that they aren’t going to be able to get what they want.
I think they must’ve re-cut the original commercial after this reception, as the version Youtube has is much shorter and doesn’t repeat the song’s title like the preview we were shown.
The RAZR debuted in 2004.
That’s not how I see it. It’s a role reversal: the son is encouraging his mom to take her vitamins, just like she did with him when he was a kid. It’s indirect marketing. They hope young adults who see the ad will try to get their parents to take Nature Made every day.
The acting in the ad is drippy, but to me it portrays filial affection, not romantic feelings.
A few months ago IndyCar sold an official teeshirt for the upcoming Freedom 250 Grand Prix in Washington, DC that read “ONE NATION ONE RACE.”
Not quite a commercial, but official merchandise like this is a form of advertising, branding, messaging, etc, so I think it makes the cut.
Here is what it looked like:
Way to go, IndyCar. Maybe you’d like to fuck a McDonald’s double cheeseburger to go with that.
The same one the OP referred to. (I hit the wrong reply button)
Their selling point is that paper doesn’t accumulate in value. It’s like their customer base are all the people who don’t trust banks and keep their cash stuffed under their mattress.
The ad I remember that I think fits here is a Michelob ad in late 80s/early 90s where Clapton was singing “After Midnight.” A short time after it debuted, he checked into rehab. The ad was very quickly pulled.
