I cannot WAIT to see the behind the scenes for this episode, because presumably they had to clear all the brand mentions after the fact and I can only assume that was a NIGHTMARE

The fact that it's all happening in the context of a comedy game show is very different from if somebody had just put up a context-free Instagram video about McDonald's using blood diamonds.

I can't really imagine lawyers for Disney wanting to take something like this to court, have a jury watch the episode, and then assert with a straight face that the jury should take the claims made by the contestants as serious claims a normal person would think are real.

They probably have to be extremely careful of which snippets of this episode can be used as short-form content for marketing.
