Quoted from TopMoose:

I see that the Night Rider in Spaceballs' diner scene has been mentioned, but I'm not sure if anyone caught the Space Invaders in Lonestar's Winnebago. That cockpit is deceptively large to hold a Bally widebody!
[quoted image]
BTW: It's not a re-theme. The "Spaceballs" logo came up on screen when I paused the movie and just happened to be centered on the backglass in this frame.

A little bit of a stretch, but in S1E13 of Harley Quinn on HBO Max ("The Final Joke"), there are a couple of generic pins in Jokers' tower.

The Simpsons - "Who shot Mr. Burns - Part 1"
S06E25

I looked it up in the index and word search and couldn't find anything.

Mr. Burns makes Smithers do more reps on the exercise bike while he goes and plays pinball.

I think I saw a TFTC in the background of the newest episode of The Handmaids Tale, they were in an amply diner and saw it blurry.

French movie LE SECRET from 1974 with a WILLIAMS JUBILEE. If you look closely you recognize the black surrounding for the 3rd-Player-digits, so it surely is a 4-Player JUBILEE and not the 2-Player DARLING.
France was like Germany a 4-Player-Nation anyway.
The actress is Marlene Jobert, and she's the mother of gorgeous Eva Green who played Verper Lynd in Casino Royale.

German movie "Der Tote" with Marius Müller-Westernhagen (who is a big star in Germany) from 1979.
POWER PLAY in Cologne with a Jukebox and a Rotamint, a german gambling-machine.

The one mentioned on the other page? That was a Rocky and Bullwinkle. I brightened it up here...

I’m assuming this is Stern KISS LE pin in Paul’s interview in “Biography: KISStory” on A&E.

The documentary The Sparks Brothers shows their home studio, where they have two pachinko machines. Maybe they like pinball too. If I programmed games for the P3 system, I would reach out to them and see if I could get permission to make a Sparks game. And I would use... the Heist Module. Maybe.

This Multiball Ain’t Big Enough For the Both of Us.
(And it ain’t me who’s gonna drain!)

Great doc. Weird as hell to be the only ones in a theater though. Seems oddly appropriate all things considered.

Bally’s Playboy in tonight’s episode of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. You catch a glimpse of it as actress Cara Delevingne is giving a tour of her “vagina tunnel”.

I really have to bite my lip sometimes and not post the first or second thing that comes to mind.

Recent American Pickers called Return of the Impala S22E0, there are pinballs all over the place. Some stacked vertically, some setup. Lots in plain sight and they even moved at least one back box, but basically all were ignored as if they weren’t even there. The only one I recognized was Rocky and Bullwinkle inside the house.

Yeah, I saw Hot Line, Ski Club, Hollywood and Paul Bunyan in or in front of the garage. There were others stacked I didn't recognize. Like you say they didn't even acknowledge the pins. But moved a head to get to other stuff. Fun show but coin-op and especially pins must not be high on their list of favorite things.
