'Obrigado' is the extent of my knowledge of the Brazilian culture. Call me ignorant, it's cool. It's not like I haven't heard it before from my father every time I explain to him that MMA is vastly more complicated than boxing. I also know that most Brazilian jiu-jitsu practitioners eat a lot of 'chicken and steak'. Jesus is also located in Brazil. Not sure why all these prisoners claim they found him in jail. Dude's a giant statue on top of a hill with the wingspan of a prime Manute Bol. Besides being able to see Jesus, Brazilians apparently also have a strong grasp on the concept of product placement. Check out this compilation video of all the beautifully blatant product placement that has gone down in TUF Brazil -- this is how you do it, folks.

The energy drink spots are the funniest. That one where Werdum walks up to the guy on the treadmill or whatever and goes, "here, drink this, it will give you more energy" and he drinks it and is like, "it's good!" lol

A couple weeks before that they had ALL of the guys drinking the stuff in the like coaching room where they warm up for the fights.

What I'm curious about is if all Brazilian television is this blatant with their product placements.

That's the channel they air on, 'Globo' they have a tendency to push products in a 'not so subtle' way, especially on reality shows

It looked like a bad 90's infomercial.

Lol I liked the one of Wand handing out those energy bars and saying he was going to keep the extras for himself. Then it shows them all eating the bars on the way to the gym in the van.

Whatever helps MMA I guess..., but Burger King? Comon now... that's just trash

Lmao, those are so glaringly blatant they might as well have slapped the logos on the guys heads.

Brazilians, not so great at subtlety

The funniest one was in episode 5! In the bathroom they have a Gillette deodorant stand that looks like it should be in a shop.

The last one is my favourite. The classic watch check.

Thank you, for this. It's annoying as FUCK and I'm glad everyone else takes notice of the absurdity.

Did Manute Bol's wingspan shrink after he was out of his prime?
