* An episode of ''American Crime'' has one of the main character browsing posters in a comic book shop. All of the comic characters characters featured (Comicbook/{{Elektra}}, [[Comicbook/HeroesForHire The Daughters of Dragon]], and [[Series/AgentsOfSHIELD Melinda May]]) are Marvel heroines, while a prominent advertisement for ''Comicbook/TotallyAwesomeHulk'' can be seen in the background. The show aired on ABC, which, like Creator/MarvelComics, is owned by Disney.

* ''Series/TheApprentice'': Almost all of the tasks involve the contestants promoting a product, selling a product, or figuring out a way to improve a product. Like ''America's Next Top Model'', it is largely the point of the series, though.

* Taken UpToEleven in UsefulNotes/{{Bangladesh}} where at least a number of programmes in ATN Bangla are [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9VeQqSlZIg ludicrously]] [[https://imgur.com/a/qayCeIP overfilled]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PlQ19YlY3gI with ads]] for their sponsors, from the on-screen graphics to the set itself. Sure, they may have gotten away with this scot-free in their native country, but not in the UK where broadcasts of Bangla series are aired to expatriate communities; as a result the network has since been the [[https://www.ofcom.org.uk/__data/assets/pdf_file/0012/51411/obb253.pdf butt]] [[https://www.ofcom.org.uk/__data/assets/pdf_file/0027/45648/obb254.pdf of]] [[https://www.bizasialive.com/atn-bangla-rapped-advertising-news-show/ numerous]] [[https://www.bizasialive.com/atn-bangla-rapped-for-product-placement-error/ complaints]] from Ofcom who clearly isn't pleased with the in-your-face advertising the shows throw up at viewers. ATN tried to reason with the authorities in that the goods in question [[NoExportForYou aren't being sold in Europe]], but the agency wasn't convinced as ''it still is'' product placement, regardless of whether the products and/or services are available in the UK or otherwise.

** Clarkson and Hammond are frustrated in one episode after they go to see a race in Russia, but find that every angle from every bar they went to has the the view blocked by the latest Audi having been obviously positioned in the foreground. This is then parodied in the episode ([[UpToEleven and the episode after it]]) when a host is introducing the next segment from behind the same type of Audi, or the introduction appears normal until an Audi is conspicuously pushed into view.

* ''Series/StrangerThings'' has Hershey's, Coca-Cola, and of course, Claire's. "Trick or Treat, Freak" had 3 Musketeers and other Halloween candy.

** Perhaps most embarrassing of all is the time that a reward was a pre-screening of the soon-to-flop Creator/JackBlack film adaptation of ''Film/GulliversTravels'', in which we get a ton of obviously staged shots of the winners laughing and saying things like "He's fat!" Then at Tribal Council they discuss the film like it's some deep philosophical piece. Worst of all is that the timing of when the season was filmed made it obvious that they couldn't actually be watching the finished film, and at best were just seeing a few scenes.
*** They did this again in Season 23 with the movie ''JackAndJill''. This included shots of the contestants laughing at scenes that contained no actual jokes.

* The Canadian ''Series/PrettyHardCases'' has a Tim Hortons box located on a shelf in the episode "Dealz".

* ''Series/PrettyHardCases'': The episode "Dealz" has a Tim Horton's box located on a shelf.

* ''Series/PuppyBowl'' is filled to the brim with ads. The Kitty Halftime Show always ends with a massive shower of confetti, followed by the referee using an explicitly name brand vacuum to clean up before the puppies take the field again. ''Puppy Bowl VII'' also features the same referee taking a break to enjoy breath mints, [[LargeHam acting like]] they single-handedly restore all his energy, and 'celebrity cheerleaders' on the sidelines hawking a new animal movie.

* ''Series/{{Empire}}'': The show features plenty of standard product-placement, but since it's about the music industry, a few times they were able to pass it off in-universe as a character making a paid endorsement, such as one episode revolving around Jamal landing a Pepsi deal and filming an large-scale commercial.
