one minute we’re watching a movie and
the next minute it’s a commercial what
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top ten
shameless product placements in movies
well that’s where I see things just a
little differently contractor no I will
not bow to any sponsor for this list
we’re taking a look at products that
snuck their way into films in less than
subtle ways maybe I’m wrong on this one
but for me the beast doesn’t include
selling out we understand that companies
just want to make a buck but can we at
least feel like we’re being led gently
to their goods and services some of
these are just insulting in their
obvious Ness I with my Egg McMuffin
breakfast is over 10:30 ready yeah 11 I
thought that too number 10 Head &
Shoulders evolution let’s give it a shot
come on yeah let’s do it yeah we’ll get
the troops together we’re getting
shampoo mm-hmm if nothing else we
learned that this specific brand of
dandruff shampoo is both good for a
flaky scalp and the extermination of
aliens head and shoulders the dandruff
shampoo yeah that’s the stuff the active
ingredient is selenium sulfide when
extraterrestrials land on Earth and
begin evolving into crazy creatures a
solution is needed to end their reign of
terror and napalm ain’t gonna cut it
a simple folk probably wouldn’t have
thought that pumping brand-name shampoo
up an alien monsters rectum would be the
key to Earth’s salvation haven’t you
noticed how shiny and flake-free our
hair is but that’s why they pay the
fellas over at Head & Shoulders the big
bucks
number nine Taco Bell demolition man so
what’s with this Cocteau guy anyway he
says I save his life which I’m not even
sure I did and my reward is dinner and
dancing at Taco Bell
I mean hey I like Mexican food burger
come on what really stands out to us as
strange about Taco Bell’s obvious name
dropping throughout this film is the
idea that should a franchise war
actually break out at some point in the
future this is the restaurant chain that
would reign supreme nacho supreme if you
will your tone is quasi facetious but
you do not realize that Taco Bell was
the only restaurant to survive the
franchise wars according to the film all
restaurants are Taco Bell’s except these
aren’t your standard Taco Bell’s welcome
to Taco Bell things from the god enjoy
your music God and this is swanky dining
with waiters piano playing and dancing
because nothing says dystopia better
than a monopolized poorly executed
American interpretation of Mexican food
enjoy your meal so good to come hungry
number eight McDonald’s Big Daddy
hey yappy at the end the conversation
I’ll get you an Egg McMuffin how about a
sausage McMuffin with hash browns you
got a deal apparently screaming at the
top of your lungs inside of McDonald’s
wasn’t much cause for concern in the
late 90s we stopped serving breakfast at
10:30 Oh horseshit but let’s be honest
who among us hasn’t been beefed when
they arrived too late for Mickey D’s
breakfast am i right
nice parenting hey thanks see my
therapist take a walk as the stand-in
dad to an abandoned kid Adam Sandler
manages to loudly mention the phrase
happy meal about five times in five
seconds what a happy meal we’ll get to
one of those happy meals
you got a happy meal can we get a happy
well stopping to get Richard a happy
meal maybe he should have taken a page
from his other movies and shouted about
subway or Popeye’s Chicken while he was
at it what you doing put it in your
mouth and let the meat slide down your
throat hole number seven Pepsi and Nike
the Back to the Future franchise
it’s easy to find evidence of these two
mega brands throughout this film series
take a gander dem moccasins what kind of
skins is them
what’s that riding mein Nikkei what is
that some sort of agent talk or
something
and Pepsi and Nike aren’t alone with the
likes of Mattel and of course the
DeLorean Motor Company also earning top
billing in the product department oh
well they it’s a DeLorean right
everybody party all your questions will
be answered whether Marty’s attempting
to order a soda or watching his super
cool sneaks laced themselves now
releases alright these brands earn
themselves a place in pop culture
history shameless as it may be although
one is a Pepsi number six converse and
Audi I Robot there’s almost no reason
for us to care what shoes Will Smith is
wearing in this movie boy what is that
on yo feet hmm converse all-stars
vintage 2004 don’t turn your face up
like that I know you want some well you
got to his ass
clearly converse is the footwear of
choice for the put-upon cop with a
robotic chip on his shoulder especially
if he’s into the vintage retro style of
the 90s oh did we not mention its 2035
right if that wasn’t enough we’re
treated to another scene that features
them pulling up in a swanky new Audi
bold as day concept cars and converse on
a police officer salary big nice shoes
number five
AOL you’ve got mail that’s so sad
do you know what this is what we’re
seeing here it’s the end of Western
civilization as we know for those of you
too young to remember there was a time
in the early days of the internet when
AOL was the popular kid on campus of
course this was before Google Eclipse
the son AOL was such a hotshot company
their login greeting became the title of
a rom-com starring Tom Hanks and Meg
Ryan and their product became a central
plot device of the film I wanted it to
be you
I wanted it to be nice but that’s not
all
no soft-shelled romantic comedy would be
complete without a coffee shop scene in
a Starbucks no us the whole purpose of
places like Starbucks is for people with
no decision-making ability whatsoever to
make six decisions just to buy one cup
of coffee
number four Mountain Dew and general
motors transformers we’ve seen hints
that Michael Bay may not be subtle with
his product placements but transformers
takes it to new levels of shameless
mountain dew and GM weren’t the only two
brands to make an appearance in this
base mashup on but there’s we’re
certainly the least graceful GM is all
up in this movie so much so it seems
like one giant sales pitch but the true
genius comes when the Allspark manages
to transform a mountain Dew vending
machine into a rootin tootin robot in
disguise called
dispenser oh go ahead play number three
Nintendo the wizard
in case you didn’t know Nintendo was big
in the 80s like super big as in hey
let’s basically make a movie about
Nintendo games and game related
accessories our glove it just plays like
a 96 minute long commercial big nothing
says low-key and nuanced product
placement like three mega screens with
three preteens competing in a game of
Super Mario Brothers 3 to sign a war
there’s a plot in there somewhere
actually it’s kind of a ripoff of The
Who’s Tommy and it’s supposed to be
moving and poignant maybe but all we
remember is Nintendo
number two I hop Man of Steel
you know what happens to your childhood
bully turned friend after you save them
from drowning they grow up to manage an
IHOP and it just so happens that in all
your superpower glory you swoop through
and manage to cause considerable damage
to set I hop there’s really no reason
for the audience to even see an IHOP in
this movie let alone more than once but
alas we keep getting reminded about I
hop we get it already and now we want
pancakes that’s what I’m worried about
before we shamelessly plug our top pick
here are a few honorable mentions crown
prince
Otto will become a true visionary that’s
weird
where’s shinobi house playing shinobi
my point is if we can’t beat their
defenses and we got to get around them
major one more time and tongue there’s a
box of Twinkies in that grocery store
not just any box of Twinkies the last
box of Twinkies that anyone will enjoy
in the whole universe
I’m sorry stairs made you
really scary because it’s new
number one McDonald’s Mac and me hi
communicating live
let’s be real here the Mac in this
movie’s title isn’t referring to the
mysterious alien creature it’s all about
McDonald’s also Sears skittles and cook
hey how’s it going in the late 80s this
mega fast-food franchise succeeded in
having a craptastic et rip-off created
around a commercial for its restaurants
why else would there need to be an
impromptu dance sequence in the parking
lot of a McDonald’s
our kids even having birthday parties at
McDonald’s anymore who did this fool
anyway Ronald McDonald is literally a
character but we’re still loving it
what’s he doing do you agree with our
list what do you think is the most
shameless product placement in movies

they get paid and that’s just really sad
