Unless it’s your own ad — then light, airy, melodic cues to frame those shots of you rolling up your sleeves and playing with puppies.
Here’s a great a parody of the tendency from Mr. Show:

Spectacular, Crimson05er. My favorite part was the quick shot of the Cambodian skulls. Many thanks for the link.
