It really sticks out because it almost comes off as exposition - most movies wouldn't even bother to go into detail about where the character works unless it was going to pay off or otherwise be significant in some way, but nope, it's really just there to talk about how Poltergeist was brought to you in part by John DeereTM: Nothing Runs Like a Deere.

This scene from Hawaii Five-0 also exemplifies when the ads go too far:

It's when Mariah Carey randomly tells someone to "Buy my album!" that it dawned on me that Mariah Carey is in this movie as product placement. I don't know if Carey or her record label literally paid for her to appear there or not but it's evident that the reason there is so much arbitrary Mariah Carey stuff in the movie is that she had a new album out at the time and she wanted to plug it.

Another Adam Sandler film that's full of ads is Jack and Jill.
