Son (aged 13) : hey dad, you've got to see that transport for London ad, there's a guy trying out a Fender Jaguar.Me : cool! Give me a shout if it comes on again.(Later) Son - it's on! (split-second later) oh you missed the Jag!(Later)Son - it's on again! Quick! Me - where? where's the Jag? Son (tetchily) - you missed it again.
Is the bloody guitar in the ad, or is he having me on?

I can't remember the product but a similarly naff football-themed one recently went something like this:
Jeremy: No, I'm the biggest footer fan.Tarquin: No, I am. I buy a new replica kit every week.Jeremy: That's nothing I've been watching Teh Soccer Finals since 2002!Tarquin: Well, I've got Michael Owen in that cupboard over there.Michael Owen: He's right.

Probably has to do with licensing...to use the phrase "World Cup" in your add would mean you'd have to be associated with FIFA somehow, or would have to follow their guidelines, etc. FIFA would consider it cheaping their sponsorship if other companies could namecheck the World Cup. Same with the Superbowl...it's always called the "Big Game" or "Sunday's game".
