This is a commercial from several years ago for Chuck E Cheese, and I actually remember seeing it on tv as a kid. I chose this one particularly because it not only advertises a place with unhealthy food, but blatantly shows children that they can get what they want by taking the easy way out. When the boy's mother tells him to walk the dog and he will get to go to Chuck E Cheese, instead of getting the exercise that she was implying, he uses his toy car to do so. It is supporting junky foods, and disobeying your parents, while not supporting exercise.

Here is an ad for Cookie Crisp cereal also from several years ago. This ad also seems to be persuading the children watching it that they can obtain the product, in this case Cookie Crisp, even if the adults say they can't have it. In the beginning of this one, the teacher catches them with it in the classroom and forbids them from having it (especially for breakfast). The mascot of the cereal brand convinces the kids that with just one taste of the delicious cookie she will change her mind, and that's exactly what happens. Ultimately, these two ads have a way of informing kids that it doesn't really matter what your parents say, you and the food "mascot" will work together to find a way for you to have it.
