“Professional driver on a closed course. Do not attempt.” This now-familiar phrase is currently appearing on a Subaru advert – an advert which involves cars trundling around on just their front or rear wheels (the point being that the Subaru is 4WD). If I could make my car drive that way, I'd be rich.
Also, I just saw a TV advert that said “a defibrillator is not a substitute for medical attention”. You don't say.
HAha. Though not letigious in nature, your TV musings remind me of this old “The Onion” gem:
Man Who Hasn't Moved In Six Hours Repeatedly Welcomed Back By TV
PADUCAH, KY—Despite not moving from his couch for more than six hours, Randy Kresge, 26, was repeatedly welcomed back by his television Monday. “Welcome back to Blind Date,” said show host Roger Lodge, one of 12 different TV personalities to herald the return of the inert Kresge. “So glad you could join us.” Kresge's obvious intention to remain seated did not keep the television from repeatedly urging him to “stick around.”
I particularly liked the Star Wars MMORPG commercial the other day, wherein a giant of a man proclaimed “Who hasn't always wanted to meet Jabba the Hut!?” I always feel weird after answering the television, especially when I do so emphatically, and with phrases like: “Nobody, nerd!”

Oh yeah, and you've reminded me that I keep forgetting to post one of my favorite commercials ever.
