This got me thinking...and re-watching an comedy favorite of mine - The 40 year old virgin.
I have watched this movie and come to find that well...Come to your own conclusions...
Televisions on store floor - Panasonic
Boxes in back dock (?) area - Panasonic (and GE Lighting)
Hey look, the customer bought a Panasonic...
The television in Andy's bedroom? Well for a store that obviously only sells Panasonic why have anything else?
Demonstrating Televisions...More specifically, Panasonic TV's with Panasonic promos
TV in Andy's Lounge Room? One guess
Way to sell a big screen TV...well, Pansonic's seem to sell themselves.
There were other brands that seemed conveniently located, too many to go into right now but here are a few more of a Particular product/brand:
One thing I did consider was how difficult it would be to make a movie these days WITHOUT inadvertently/being able to avoid having sloganized products on screen - In fact it might even seem foreign and obvious that 'something wasn't right'

you can NOT get away from it!
ReplyDeleteI don't think all of it is deliberately product placement. One thing that comes to my mind when I think product placement is Splinter Cell, where at the start there's just a pack of airwaves gum for a few seconds before Sam starts chewing a piece. Who doesn't want to chew the same gum as a SEKRIT AGUNT.
ReplyDeleteSee Cast Away, it's full of this $#!+.
ReplyDeletecrazy, guess it helps I hardly watch tv anymore.
ReplyDeleteI would think that advertising like this would only work on the weak minded, now pardon me while I order a Panasonic TV from Ebay real quick....
ReplyDeleteYou missed one important, under the tv is a Panasonic Receiver SA-HE7
