shameless TV product placements the mass
doesn’t look so good with glasses over
it I give you two rescue
before we begin we publish new content
every day so be sure to subscribe to our
channel and ring the bell to get
notified about our latest videos for

without an ounce of subtlety no come on
Jack we’re not doing that we’re not
compromising the integrity of the show
to sell this is Diet Snapple I know it
tastes just like regular Snapple doesn’t
it number 10
covergirl Riverdale there’s a reason why
the ladies of Riverdale always look like
they’re ready for a photo shoot
covergirl is one of the show’s most
prominent sponsors with their cosmetics
constantly popping up seduced Scarlett
doesn’t suit you dear the third episode
even features a scene where Betty tries
on seduce Scarlett lipstick to signify
her transition into a bad girl here
pink perfection cuz if that’s not
blatant enough her controlling mother
suggests using pink perfection instead
in another episode the camera actually
shifts away from Josie to give us a
totally unnecessary close-up of a tube
of mascara this product placement
couldn’t be more in-your-face
if a covergirl sales rep literally
reached out of the television and gave
you a free Beauty sample number 9 Ziploc
The Biggest Loser according to a 2008
Nielsen Media Research report the
Biggest Loser had more product placement
than any other broadcast show with over
6,000 plugs whereas some of the products
at least tied into this reality shows
weight-loss theme others came off as
unbelievably forced ziplock being the
most infamous example the best thing
about Ziploc containers is that they’re
a perfect size Bob Harper and the
contestants laughably explain how ziploc
containers work as if the audience
really needed a tutorial they
additionally note that Ziploc is great
for carrying 100 calorie snacks
here’s the thing though many 100 calorie
snacks already come and travel friendly
pouches making Ziploc pointless here on
top of that a piece of cake can fit
inside a ziplock container just as
easily these Ziploc brand containers are
going to help you throughout number
eight various days of our lives
soap manufacturers actually helped coin
the term soap opera as they used to
sponsor radio dramas
studies show that eating Cheerios can
lower your cholesterol so give it a shot
what product placement has always been a
staple of daytime television Days of Our
Lives took things to a new low around
2009 or 2010 promoting everything from
Chex Mix to Wanchai fairy Chinese food
on multiple occasions characters also
stopped to talk about the health
sugar which is excellent for swimsuit
season seriously how can the audience
get caught up in all the melodrama when
people are flirting over a box of
breakfast cereal Stephen Colbert even
poked fun at the lack of subtlety here
suggesting that the long-running series
was desperate for money after several
other soaps got cancelled so Bravo soaps
for putting the cereal back in serial
drama number 7
Ford Fusion new girl this vehicle has
been featured on new girls so many times
it’s practically a recurring character
on one occasion outside Dave complements
coach on his new Ford Fusion love in the
new Ford another episode takes place at
an Auto Show where a 2013 Ford Fusion is
displayed granted this does amount to a
pretty hilarious bit of slapstick as
Jess tries to navigate around a rotating
platform in high heels it is hard to get
past the announcer listing off all the
cars features though there was also that
time when coach compared the Ford Fusion
to a limousine never gonna get in there
not even in a limo excuse me we’re in a
Ford Fusion the best car ever made it
gets double the gas mileage okay now
it’s worth mentioning that the latter
episode premiered after the Super Bowl
which is practically synonymous with car
commercials number 6 McDonald’s the
bachelor in a season 20 episode of this
reality show Bachelor
takes Amanda on a romantic date to
McDonald’s yep
because nothing screams eternal love
quite like Mickey D’s Ben claims he
wants to do something normal while
visiting his hometown but he’s not
fooling anyone and I’m gonna have an egg
mcmuffin product placement is clearly at
work here reminding viewers that
McDonald’s serves breakfast all day now
so feel free to have an Egg McMuffin for
dinner the couple also gets behind the
counter and operates the drive-thru
window because the only thing more
glamorous than eating at McDonald’s is
hey who needs caviar and champagne when
you can just share a fry number five
PlayStation Vita house of cards this
Netflix series is no stranger to product
placement often showcasing Apple devices
however the most obvious plug occurred
in season 1 as Frank Underwood pays
Peter Russo a visit before they get down
to business
Frank takes notice of Peters PS Vita and
very blatantly asks him about it to be
fair it is established that Frank likes
to play video games so it makes sense
that he’d taken interest in this
handheld console however that doesn’t
excuse the fact that this moment comes
out of nowhere has no bearing on the
plot and basically feels like a drive-by
advertisement we wouldn’t be surprised
if Sony funded Frank’s re-election
campaign number for Microsoft Surface
902 uh no as much as we complain about
product placement embedded marketing
doesn’t have to come off as forced since
people are constantly on tablet
computers in real life television
writers can very naturally work a
product like the Microsoft Surface into
a scene without cramming it down our
throats and when we Skype you can make
it stand up with a kickstand like that
unfortunately this episode of 90210
takes a more direct approach hammering
home how amazing the device is when the
camera isn’t zooming in on the
touchscreen the characters are talking
about the tablets many features help
some of the features they prattle on
about aren’t even that impressive
any line you just take the gift back
give it to somebody who cares Skype
might have been innovative ten years ago
but video telephony is commonplace now
the gift of Skype isn’t worth much
number three Stride Gum Smallville the
IHOP battle from Man of Steel isn’t the
only time Superman has been associated
with shameless product placement in its
seventh and arguably worst season
Smallville basically dedicated an entire
episode to Stride Gum the brand name is
plastered everywhere one sequence
actually takes place in a Stride Gum
factory the more you chew gum and I’m
fresh out you got me at the center of
everything is a ridiculous story line
where kryptonite laced gum turns Pete
Ross into a stretchy meteor-freak not
only is this false advertising it
doesn’t even portray stride in a
positive light since Pete caused
numerous problems with his new powers
speaking of Pete this was his last
appearance on the show sending him off
on the weakest note possible number two
Toyota Bones the Deschanel family is
well-versed on the subject of product
placement where Zoe plugged the Ford
Fusion on new girl emily has acted as a
spokesperson for Toyota on bones in a
particularly distracting instance the
plot is put on hold so bones can
demonstrate her car’s intelligent
parking assist sure it’s a cool feature
for those who never learned how to
parallel park
but booth and sweets act like they just
meant KITT from Knight Rider how’d you
do that
it’s called intelligent parking assist
the car guides itself into the parking
spot doesn’t solve murders in another
episode angela swerves off course to
discuss the toyota sienna and its backup
camera which she literally calls the
invention of the century backup camera
thing is like the invention of the
century there’s praising a product and
then there’s building it up as the
greatest thing since sliced bread before
we get to our top pick here are some
dishonorable mentions yourself I gotta
use your cell I gotta call home no
service yeah I should have gone with
Sprint good scotch
it’s in the charcoal barrel for 12 years
very good Scotch gets smoked for 29
years Johnny Walker Blue is 60 year old
Scotch number 1 subway Hawaii five-o
Subway sandwiches have been needlessly
inserted into a lot of movies and TV
shows this episode of Hawaii five-o went
beyond subliminal advertising however
essentially becoming a full-blown
commercial for Subway actually the
scenes almost long enough to fill an ad
spot chowing down on a footlong hammock
ona endorses subway for offering such
varied menu items he also notes what a
healthy choice subway is although we’re
not sure eating five foot Long’s is the
most effective diet worst of all cama
kona briefly mentions Jared Fogle and
his extreme weight loss sloth as if the
shameless product placement didn’t
already make things awkward enough
Jared’s later legal troubles only add to
the scenes uncomfortable nature beauty

fusion do you agree with our picks check
