DonRocks Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 We can have a separate thread for this in the Movies Forum. Usually, well-done product placement is subtle and perhaps even subconscious; however, there are times, like this scene from a Jan, 1961 episode of "Route 66," when it hits you over the head with Lucille. Here's another, from a Mar, 2015 episode of "Better Call Saul" - note the time when the scene begins, and note the time when it ends (there is a cutaway in the middle, so it's not without a break, but it still monopolizes 80-90% of the duration): This is essentially a thirty-second Chrysler advertisement - I wonder how much they paid for it. Another blatant example is the entirety of "Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee." That would be "coffee" - not tea, not a mango lassi, but coffee, coffee, coffee - how much has the coffee industry paid for this show to run? The series jokes about Acura's product placement, but not once have they mentioned the coffee industry, which is remarkable considering it's fully 1/3 of the premise of the entire series.
