The Boys and The Brands: 26 Bloody Brilliant Fake Brands and Witty Product Placements


Season four of The Boys just wrapped up, and, as per usual, it heartily served up a fresh batch of mayhem and bloody violence with a side of CPG hilarity. 

Fans can’t get enough of the twisted, irreverent humor and the ever-escalating stakes (and they’re mightily pained by the two-year wait for the series finale in 2026). With each episode, “The Boys” proves it can still shock and entertain equally, making it a must-watch phenomenon, and the latest installment continues the show’s tradition of blending dark humor with scathing social commentary.

And why? Well, for starters, The Boys isn’t just about superheroes gone rogue and the mighty corporate machine that dictates everything they do. Sure, it IS that, but one captivating facet of the show is how brilliantly it commits to the bit by propping up the Supes’ brands, reveling in the merchandise that follows them wherever they go. From Compound V-flavored energy drinks to Brave Maeve’s Pride Bars, the show uses CPG products to satirize the relentless commercialization of everything—even our beloved superheroes (er, Supes).
