 * Douglas Adams' The Meaning of Liff lampshades this, defining the word 'Liff' as any product which does not live up to its claims, and specifically any book with the words 'This Will Change Your Life!' on the cover. The book itself, of course, has a sticker stating just that.
 * Spoofed brilliantly in a commercial for Bubblicious Bursts, which featured oversized bubbles allegedly blown using Bubblicious Burst changing the lives of everyone around them. The announcer billed it as "great for parties!", "fun with cats!" (featuring an uninterested cat standing next to goldfish swimming in the bubble), and even good for helping Dad around the house. "Just ask Superstar Lebron James!" was the next-to-final remark made in the commercial (featuring an image of Lebron blowing a bubble of generic gum with a superimposed thumbs-up over him). The final remark was a large group of people yelling "Thanks, Bubblicious Bursts!" for no particular reason. (Of course, the company included a disclaimer at the end, stating that "Bubblicious Bursts is great for blowing bubbles, and nothing else".)
