* The Singaporean dramedy, ''Film/INotStupid'', includes a blatant tie-in with the then-new Pink Dolphin beverages (from the Singapore-based drink company, Yeos') which the film repeatedly slaps into the audiences' faces every now and then. The protagonist, Terry repeatedly asks for Pink Dolphin beverages for breakfast, and every now and then pauses to talk about how healthy and nutritious it is. At one point Terry and his friend Boon Hock gets kidnapped, and in a KidnappersKFC moment Terry actually asks if his kidnapper could get him Pink Dolphin drinks, leading to the exasperated kidnapper lampshading the trope: "Do you think you're shooting a drink advert?"

** The protagonist's wife was constantly hocking merchandise, not to mention every single inanimate object in the world being product placement. (This was how the show pays for itself, since it runs without commercial interruptions.) It takes a dark turn near the end, as she does it at the wrong moment -- Truman, who's beginning to work out the truth, asks, "Who are you ''talking'' to?" while looking around incredulously.

* The ''Film/{{Transformers}}'' film series was plagued by this, as Michael Bay apparently even set a RECORD for most product placement in a film with no fewer than 47 brands in the film! And that's ''before'' even getting into the [[Franchise/{{Transformers}} blatantly obvious one]], too.
** Every Autobot's altmode was a make of car owned by General Motors, except Optimus Prime, who was an (unbranded) Peterbilt Model 379 long-frame semi tractor; GM doesn't make an appropriate vehicle anymore, probably wasn't keen on reaching back to TheEighties for a GMC General, and no fan would accept Optimus Prime as an H2.
** An UsefulNotes/{{Xbox 360}} that makes the 360 booting sound before transforming.
** The Mountain Dew vending machine, dubbed Dispensor by the Internet, which attacks people.
** The Nokia cell phone
** When Ironhide gets his alt mode, the camera actually zooms on the GM logo appearing on his front grill. He might as well be a walking GM ad. Not only is the GMC logo prominently dead center in all his driving scenes, but he's got the logo (split in half) on his shoulders in robot mode.
** Conversely, none of the Decepticon altmodes were General Motors makes. Barricade, for instance, was a (heavily customized) Ford Mustang. Most of the Decepticons are military vehicles, which helps.
** The slow, dramatic zoom-in on... a Panasonic sd-card. Maggie even holds it with tweezers so that her fingers don't block the name, while turning it gently in the light to make sure we don't miss its holographic reflective label while having ''plenty'' of time to read it.
** ''Revenge of the Fallen'':

* ''Film/{{Evolution}}'' is the film that taught the world that Head & Shoulders shampoo will not only keep your hair silly smooth '''and'' dandruff free; it'll also save humanity. The protagonists discover that the alien menace can be killed by selenium. When they wonder where they are going to get several hundred gallons of it, a couple of slacker students reveal that Head & Shoulders contains selenium sulfide as the active ingredient. Thus, they fill a fire truck with the stuff and use it to save the day. It's done so tongue in cheek (the movie is a comedy) that it's obviously a parody and it culminates with the characters making a faux ad for Head & Shoulders at the very end of the film (supposedly this was suggested by the director's son, JasonReitman).

** Del Spooner's 'Converse All-star' trainers get several mentions including a close-up of him removing them from the box near the start of the film. The Audi is acceptable as it adds a sense of realism however the close up of the JVC stereo is pretty hard to accept. Apparently we will still be listening to CD's in the future. A particularly odd case with the shoes, as he pops them up on his boss's desk at one point, and identifies them by brand name, saying that they're "vintage 2009", but Converse All Stars have remained popular and identical in design and construction since the 1920s, so it's a bit of an odd choice, as they'll surely still be available in the films TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture setting. Specifically, much of the product placement centered around Spooner focus on his preference for things from the past, rather than the widespread acceptance of robots and modern technology that everyone else has.

** ''Franchise/SpiderMan'':
*** In the first ''Film/SpiderMan1'' movie, Peter Parker uses his newfound web-slinging powers to grab a can of Dr. Pepper off the dresser. In the [[Film/SpiderMan2 second film]], when he's working at the pizza shop a Dr. Pepper soda fridge can be seen in the background.
*** ''Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan'' has a lot of appearances from Creator/{{Sony}} products, as well as a rather infamous scene where Peter uses Bing.
*** ''Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan2'' really pushes the shilling for Sony to its limits, to the extent that almost every piece of technology in Peter's bedroom is a Sony product. Even the long-abandoned subway lab used by Richard Parker conveniently has a Sony computer. However, it was all for nothing, as by the time the visual effects were completed, Sony had shut down their entire computer division.

*** Benji is seen playing ''VideoGame/Halo5Guardians'' on an UsefulNotes/XboxOne, with the box being shown on screen to make clear which game is being played. (And since the film came out 3 months before the game's launch, either Benji is a pirate or [=MI6=] agents get beta access anytime they like.)
*** Characters use products from Nokia, Dell, and Microsoft and it's quite obvious that all the devices are running Windows 10.
*** Both heroes and villains drive [=BMWs=]. Especially noticeable in the Morocco chase sequence where Ethan and an army of mooks scream down a highway on BMW motorcycles. Characters are also seen using BMW's notoriously finicky [=iDrive=] system.
** ''Film/MissionImpossibleFallout'':
*** The helicopter Ethan is dangling out of in the first released image has a large decal that says "Airbus", the same company which made the A400 that Ethan hung out of in Rogue Nation. (Airbus' people even helped Tom Cruise learn to pilot helicopters.)
*** 95% of all the remaining modes of transportation seen in the movie are branded BMW front and centre.
*** A clever one featuring a Huawei cellphone: when the man assumed to be Lark is found and killed in the nightclub bathroom, his phone is damaged, and Hunt clear flips it over from backside to front in order to show off the Huawei logo. [[spoiler:Later, when August Walker gives a phone to Erika Sloane that he claims is the exact same phone from the nightclub fight, it too is flipped over from backside to front, showing it is undamaged — and more importantly, that there is no Huawei logo.]]



** Apple products. Medusa? Defeated by the power of the Ipod touch, logo plainly in view. And they talk to Luke on a Macbook. Come on, at least TRY not to be blatant!

* ''Film/IRobot'': A scene is dedicated to the main character buying "vintage" 2010 Converse shoes.



* ''Franchise/SpiderMan'':
** In the first ''Film/SpiderMan1'' movie, Peter Parker uses his newfound web-slinging powers to grab a can of Dr. Pepper off the dresser. In the [[Film/SpiderMan2 second film]], when he's working at the pizza shop a Dr. Pepper soda fridge can be seen in the background.
** ''Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan'' has a lot of appearances from Creator/{{Sony}} products, as well as a rather infamous scene where Peter uses Bing.
** ''Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan2'' really pushes the shilling for Sony to its limits, to the extent that almost every piece of technology in Peter's bedroom is a Sony product. Even the long-abandoned subway lab used by Richard Parker conveniently has a Sony computer. However, it was all for nothing, as by the time the visual effects were completed, Sony had shut down their entire computer division.



* ''Film/IndependenceDay'' even references ''The X-Files'' in dialogue, making this a cyclical reference.

* ''Film/XMenFilmSeries'':
** ''Film/X2XMenUnited'': Wolverine searches for beer in the mansion. After learning there is none, he settles on, of course, a Dr. Pepper. Later at Bobby's house, he raids the fridge for beer. Several bottles of Dr. Pepper can be seen inside the fridge.

** ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'':

*** A drink order is called, specifically for a bottle of Johnnie Walker (which blend exactly is yet unclear). Also, it would appear that all other bottles of whiskey in the film are likewise Johnnie Walker, of which quite a lot is drunk, especially by Charles Xavier.
*** During the scene where Magneto lifts up RFK Stadium, ads for Mountain Dew, Adidas, and various other brands can be seen.
** ''Film/XMenApocalypse'':
*** Scott Summers' sunglasses are Ray-Bans.
*** Ororo Munroe drinks Coca-Cola.
*** In the deleted mall scene, Kurt, Scott, Jean and Jubilee slurp Slush Puppies, and Nightcrawler gapes at a display of sneakers inside a Payless [=ShoeSource=] store.
** ''Film/{{Deadpool|2016}}'': A gag between Wade and Blind Al centers around them arguing about Ikea furniture, including name-dropping (badly) the names of several ''actual'' Ikea products.
** ''Film/{{Logan}}'':
*** Comicbook/{{X 23}} prominently munches on a tube of Pringles potato chips, and shoplifts a pair of Toys/{{Shopkins}} sunglasses in the opening of the second trailer. She can be seen wearing the sunglasses in several scenes from both trailers.
*** Logan drives a [[CoolCar Cadillac]] limousine.
