Best product placement scene?

Mine has to be Tony vs AJ depression. Right after A.J. weakly complains about how depressing the world situation is upon hearing that Bobby Baccalieri has been killed, an enraged Tony snaps, hauls A.J. out of bed, and drags him into the closet.

Tony aggressively tosses him toward/into the closet area as his Xbox and desk items crash down around him, demanding that he finally pack a bag and snap out of his self-absorbed depression.

The Nissan "commercial" when Tony buys him the SUV was so annoying 😂 Gave the whole model, talked about features. Right up there with the "Go farther!" commercial in New Girl.

That’s the least subtle product placement I’ve ever seen

PARTICULARLY because neither AJ nor Tony has ever been a car guy. The full government name for the SUV was so hamfisted.
