Product Placement Out Of This World
Text content
Man, the product placement is out of this world...
Overview
This animated meme shows a sequence inside an Apollo mission space capsule with a running countdown timer. A jar of Nutella floats in the zero-gravity environment as obvious, unexpected product placement; as the timer counts down, one of the crew members grabs the floating jar and hides it out of frame. The repeated caption jokes that the product placement is literally 'out of this world' — a pun that works both as common slang meaning something incredibly impressive, and literally, since the product placement is in a space mission setting. The joke leans into the awkward, unexpected branded product placement appearing in content meant to focus on a space mission.
Origin notes
This meme originates from a Reddit post, with the original poster titling their share 'This is a new one..!'. It is made from footage of an Apollo space mission simulation or recreation that accidentally captured an out-of-place floating Nutella jar, with the joking caption text added to make the meme.
