Pretty much the entire “has this ever happened to you” section of any given infomercial, featuring the most inept people to have ever lived. Y’know, the part where the lady is so totally incompetent she’s incapable of dumping a pot of pasta into a strainer and she desperately needs a technological solution that they’re about to tell you all about and can be yours for only three easy payments of $9.95, but if you call RIGHT NOW they’ll knock off a payment and even send you a free gift just for calling?
And those femine hygiene products being used to soak up blue liquids. (Though I don’t think I have seen one of those commercials for quite a few years.)
People throwing obsolescent kitchen appliances out the nearest window.

Black folks gushing over Buicks. Anyone gushing over Buicks.
People who have structured settlements and needing cash now and breaking into opera.
Anthropomorphized bubbles emerging from a bottle of cleaning product and cleaning your bathroom for you. When I was maybe 5 or so I wanted my mom to buy the brand of cleaner being advertised (I think it was Dow Bathroom Cleaner) because I believed that was literally going to happen.
Off-road vehicles being driven on dirt roads yet remaining virtually pristine.
People coming in and leaving houses with never locking the doors.
People driving cars on the wrong side of the road.
Not a luxury car, but when I bought my wife a car from Carmax they put a big bow on it and took her picture with it when we came to pick it up.
