All the talk about Game of Thrones was literal product placement. Remember how some episodes started with "this episode contains paid advertising" or whatever? I can't think of anything that could be referring to other than the GoT references

I forget which episodes had that disclaimer but it was only a couple. I have a feeling it was the Sony references/devices, which seemed deliberate for no other reason than product placement. At least the Game of Thrones thing was used for a joke and seemed more or less in character, like all the Coors Johnny drinks.

edit: I think last season even had a PS Vita shown at one point :lol:

This is the first show I've seen with a product placement message at the start. That was nice of Youtube to do. I don't think last season had that?

I'm surprised there hasn't been a scene yet where Johnny plays Karate Kid on NES.

Johnny googling "how to make legs work again" was my favorite part.

Fun fact: Ralph Macchio is older in this series than Pat Morita was playing Mr. Miyagi in the first film.

I like how this was actually a line in season 3.

So the character of Daniel Larusso is younger than Mr. Miyagi was but Ralph Machio is older than Pat Morita was.

Plastic surgery is a hell of a drug.

This is assuming Google isn't lying to me on the character's birthdays.

Maybe they retconned it just to use that factoid...
