Parody product placements in movies

Hello fellow movie-lovers,

For some research that I am intending on doing in the near future, I am searching for examples from movies that have product placement scenes that are more liking to self-aware parodies.

To give you the most obvious example of this, think of this scene from Wayne's World. Yes, there is of course a product placement going on, but as mentioned above, it is done so blatantly that it is clearly a self-aware parody.

Other examples that I have come across so far are this marvellous scene from Return of the Killer Tomatoes, featuring young, shaggy-looking George Clooney, the Subway-scene from Happy Gilmore, Dunkin Donuts in Jack & Jill, as well as the Head & Shoulders bit from Evolution, and from what I gather pretty much every scene from Josie and the Pussycats.

Additionally, I am intending to rewatch Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby and give The Greatest Movie Ever Sold.

Heck, I even watched an episode of Cougartown (which might have just about been the worst show I have ever seen), so if you have any suggestions from shows, I would be thankful for those, too!

I hope you all have some ideas/examples that I have so far missed – it would really help me a fair bit! :) So, thank you all in advance!
