Blatant Advertising

Product placement can seem pretty obvious in some TV shows (like the Milk Duds in The Big Bang Theory), but last night's Chuck made it acceptable, as an art.

 

Chuck has a long history with Subway (being their #1 sponsor, so much so that when the show was in danger of cancellation fans showed their support by eating at Subway frequently. I know I would have if I had been a fan back then), so it's no surprise to see it appear in obvious places here and there. But last night, with Big Mike (BMtehe.png) describing how delicious his Subway sandwich was (emphasis on the breakfast burrito bit) with the banter and description between him and Morgan, it was practically written into the script so well and so cheesily that it wasn't as bad as other product placements can be (I'm looking at you, Myka Bearing and your Twizzler cravings despite not liking sugar or whatever in season 1 of WH13).

 

Gotta love Chuck.

Morgan also temped Big Mike with a sandwich in Season 2 with lots of drama around it.

 

Although I haven't seen last night's ep, so I don't know how it compares. ;)

The best product placement ever can be found in "I, Robot" with Will Smith. Glorious.

With the All Stars? Or are you calling Will Smith a product?

Oh, I get it. The robots are the products being promoted.

I can appreciate product placement like that. XP

 

30 Rock doesn't even attempt to cover up product placement in the slightest. Another reason I love that show <3
