Ghostbusters: 21 WTF Moments In The Female Remake

1. The Product Placement

GHOSTBUSTERS WTF
Sony Pictures

At times, Ghostbusters feels like an extended riff on the Product Placement gag in Wayne's World.

There's a distractingly obvious Pringles paid position, which actually raises a smile (thanks to its allusion to salty parabolas), but is still as painful as the Cheez-Its moment in the original (it's just as unforgivable even when it's in the sanctified original).

And as for the Papa Johns placement: it's not even a New York pizza company. That might have made it a little bit less obvious, but the way the pizza boxes were placed, it might as well have been a tie-in advert with them sitting around after a hard day's 'Bustin' discussing how Papa's really do have spookily low prices.
