Game of Thrones is on HBO, so they don't need to engage in product advertising to sponsor it. But the show is such a huge hit, they might as well make some ads just to cash in! Plus, if they made Game of Thrones-themed ads for products to run on regular TV channels, it would serve a double purpose to advertise the products and to advertise the show to people who don't get HBO, and maybe they'd like what they saw and sign up.
Here are a few proposed Game of Thrones-inspired product ads:
Weber BBQ Grills: There's a scene in Season 3 where Daenerys Targaryen gives a local ruler one of her dragons, and when they have a conflict, she calls the dragon's name and it breathes fire on the guy, killing him. Well, in this ad for Weber gas grills, we see a big outdoor feast set out in the world of the series Game of Thrones, and there is a big collection of meat on spits for roasting, and as everyone is admiring all the meat, Daenerys Targaryen calls her dragons by name and they breathe fire onto the meat, flame broiling it. Then the announcer says that if you want to have a fantastical barbecue feast, but you don't have any dragons, the next best thing is a Weber gas grill! (Plus, unlike a dragon, a Weber gas grill won't eat most of the meat itself.)
American Standard: A number of royal households battle over control of the throne Game of Thrones-style, and the throne ends up being a beautiful new toilet from American Standard in the middle of a palatial royal throne room. Then the announcer says: "Your home is your castle: get a throne to match."
Tide Coldwater: We see a scene like the "Red Wedding", where lots of wedding guests in sumptuous frilly finery get killed gorily, with blood spilling everywhere. Then the announcer says: "Oh, that's going to leave a stain! Unless you use Tide Coldwater: it gets out the most stubborn stains, even blood stains, in cold water!"
Andersen Windows: We see new Andersen Windows installed on a house by the water, and it's in a part of the country that has large swings from hot to cold throughout the year, like Long Island, or Cape Cod, and the announcer says Andersen Windows keep your house well insulated no matter how extreme the conditions of hot or cold; and to illustrate this idea, to represent extreme heat we see a dragon from Game of Thrones fly up to the windows and breathe fire on them in the summertime, and then we see a switch to wintertime, and we see the "white walkers" come press against the windows to represent extreme cold. Then we see the weather switch to springtime, and the house looks perfect and beautiful, and the announcer says that no matter the weather outside, with Andersen Windows, you'll always have the perfect conditions inside. And in each of these occasions, we see a family peacefully enjoying their life inside their home, blissfully unaware of the monstrous forces at work outside their home, kept in check by the sturdy, well insulated Andersen Windows.
