Well, that was actually one of the more boring ones. Some are quite funny.

There's a whole series of them and the point is that the characters are familiar, everybody knows them. It's not as much that they directly push a product, but more that they simply use it or show it and everyone's like "OMGOTOUSANHASONEHOWCUUUUUUTEINEEDONETOO".
