Ok the Wayne's world clip was done to be ironic. If they used made up brands it would not have been nearly as funny.

[Angel Rodarte]

In his defense...Michael Bay's gotta pay for all those explosions somehow...

harold and kumar came out in 2004.

[Rocco siffredi]

West side story had coca cola product placement.

[Threetri333]

Iron Man 3 suffers from this -_-

[JT Dougl]

Mac and Me looks like Breakin' meets ET

[housewares]

I think "Cast Away" was more blatant. The entire movie is an ad for either a parcel service or a sporting goods concern (or both). There's literally no other competing brand or product or subject matter shown

[housewares]

In hindsight was "Career Opportunities" actually a *positive* presentation of Target? Perhaps for the very specific perspective of a teenager who imagines he'll get locked in one overnight w/ Jennifer Connelly

[Ryan H.]

Happy Gilmore doesn't count. That was good product placement, and funny.

[torcolone]

Every movie and music video contains a product placement.. is another way to finance the production of a movie...

Poking fun at product placement in movies without mentioning BLADE RUNNER´s shamelessness (PAN AM, etc) only shows the person responsible for it only holds criticism for ´easy targets´...
