2. Brad Pitt stopping to drink a Pepsi after he injects himself full of deadly bacteria/viruses in World War Z
Yeah, I'm sure he was tired and could use a cold soda after what he'd been through; but I'd have first preferred a Coke, or if stuck with the Pepsi lineup, gone with a Dew.
Iron Man- wasn't awful, but extremely blatant with the Burger King deal.
There's actually a story to the Burger King line. RDowney Jr wanted to do it as a thank you. When his life was spiraling out of control with his alcohol and drug use, he found himself at a Burger King one night. He looked down at the most disgusting burger he was eating and it was oozing grease and he was disgusted by the decisions that landed him there eating that shite. He checked into a clinic soon after. When Downey was making the movie, he wanted to thank Burger King for saving his life.

It was just so damn blatant. The zombies are running around him and they cut to a scene where all you see is a Pepsi machine that has been broken and he grabs one of the Pepsis off the floor and drinks it right in front of the machine.
I had to shake my head at that.

As much as I love Chuck, watching it again reminded me how awful the product placement is. Its basically a commercial for Subway and Toyota

Subway in Happy Gilmore
I wouldn't think this qualifies, since it was actually PART of the movie. I mean, he was brought on as a sponsor for subway.

Yeah, that one is fine. The other Happy Madison movies don't get a pass though. Sandler went nuts with the product placement after this movie, when they had really no place in it. The low would either be having an entire movie rotating around a Dunkin Donuts commercial or Popeye's Chicken in Little Nicky.

Talladega Nights had one of the best product placement scenes...

A giant McDonald's commercial, and Jennifer Anniston's first film.
That entire McDonalds scene is nightmare fuel of the highest order. Really, the whole movie is jsut unsettling.

The MOS fight inside of an IHOP restaurant was pretty awful for me. I didn't mind some of the other ones so much. But taking the fight inside the restaurant was just too far.
I mean, it was the first time we got to see Superman fight somebody on screen since that abomination in the 80s, and it's inside an IHOP? Come on man.

That was the point. Subway and Toyota basically saved them from cancellation so they just blatantly (and hilariously) shilled their products. I thought it was hilarious.

Don't know about worst, but best may have been Porsche 928S in "Risky Business".

none of these are close ... Daniel Craig drove a prominently displayed ford from the airport to his Bahama villa in 'casino royale' ... had an Aston Martin delivered that night ...

Talladega Nights as a whole is the best product placement film of all time. It would be insulting to have a NASCAR film without product placements.

This. The first one where the "all spark" turned a Diet Mountain Dew Machine and Xbox 360 into transformers was laughably bad.

That Tom hanks Robinson Crusoe movie. Felt like one long Fed Ex ad.

The weirdest one I can remember is when Fox had Observers show up in the crowds at actual sporting events they were covering to pimp Fringe.
