That show had AOL/TW plugs all over it. The AOL logo was on the pokerchips in the last episode I watched.

Gundam has had references to Bandai, such as crates or buildings. One of the SD series actually makes it part of the action- hero and villain are fighting, smashing up buildings as they go. The hero stops the villain RIGHT before they smash into Bandai HQ.

Probably also worth mentioning that alot of the really kid aimed Gundam manga are VERY open about pushing kits, making it part of the plot and having the cast be near obsessive over the hobby.

Who could forget that Aqua Teen Hunger Force episode which was nothing but a 15-minute ad for Boost Mobile? LoL

In Sailor Moon, the girls usually read books called RanRan, which is a reference to real-magazine "Run-Run".

On Frisky Dingo, one of the episodes was spent pimping the Scion tC, while in Season 2, Killface and Xander appeared in the Haggar Pants Presidential Debate.
