Unskippable ad The most blatantly obvious Amazon Prime ad I’ve ever seen right in the middle of my show

Remember when Toyota sponsored Warehouse 13?

If I am remembering correctly, didn't they stop for a second in car chases to mention how nice the Toyota they were driving was?

Eureka had some really obvious deodorant ads too. If I remember correctly, the used deodorant to protect people from the heat of supernova.

Eureka also blatantly advertised for Subaru when they got one as a police car.

At least that was pushed into the show via a plotpoint. The person who came in to overhaul GD was bringing in corporate sponsorship. Everyone hated it. Still irritating seeing whatever that deodorant was (Love the show, legit can't remember the brand) but at least it was fun knowing the characters hated it too

That was so weird because it suddenly just looked like a Prius commercial with the same lighting and backgrounds and everything.

Kept reoccurring until Toyota was no longer a sponsor, at which point they started to do it again, but one of the other characters responded with "what are you doing? Just drive!"

That's actually pretty funny
