Hasty Generalization can also be considered as jumping to conclusion or stereotyping. In hasty generalization, without enough data it can lead to faulty conclusions and come across as bias.

The commercial is saying that all men like bacon, but then it only shows three men that arrive because of the smell of bacon. This shows hasty generalization because she is making assumptions that all guys like bacon but only has three men to back up her claim.

Trident commercial: In this commercial they are using hasty generalization because their data does not have enough people to back up their statement. If it is just four dentist that agree, it is more of an opinion then a fact. They are assuming that it is a good claim to back up their product by saying four out of five dentist would recommend Trident to their patients, but really if they only have four dentist that recommend it, their data is is based off limited evidence which makes their claim more biased.
