I dunno why cis dudes think it's a point of pride to admit they're easily manipulated by this kind of lazy advertising.
Like, do they not realise that the advertisers think they're idiots?

Aw yeah back to 2000s where everyone yells out the r-word and the f-word with zero consequences, AND burgers held by scantily clad women on TV ad. heterosexual hwhite men rejoice!
"Pig country filled with pig people and pig culture" by 
really hits hard.
Tucker Carlson must be happy, soon the green M&M will again be sexually desirable to him.
Just go look at porn online like normal people my god
but then my son will see it on our shared jerk off tracker
but if you jerk off while you eat then you're multitasking, putting you one step closer to innovating at the speed of business
I have two thoughts about this.
-
I thought these ads were so condescending as a kid. The fact that people are celebrating their return as a cultural victory is basically bragging that they're idiots.
-
The new ad is so lazy and low-effort compared to the old ads. Like, the old ads were terrible but at least they had Jessica Simpson doing a dance on the hood of a car. (edit: let me be clear that I find it extremely depressing that I'm now praising the old ads in any way. Extremely bleak development)
To number 1 it's so weird to me... Like I just want to ask these people...
you missed the bikini burger lady so much? You even noticed she was gone? Is your life so empty and hollow that watching a classicaly attractive women eat borgor is the best it has?
You could be doing literally anything. Just going into your backyard and making mounds of mud would be a more interesting and engaging activity than caring about the borrrguer ads.
So there was this one time I was cleaning out a spare room at work with a coworker and we found an old 80s "Babe" poster ad. And he said "I wouldn't kick her out of bed for eating crackers."
And I was just like, "wtf? That's the most old timey horny phrase ever."
Eating crackers?
Youd have to have the morals of an alley cat
Healthcare pls 
you got horny tv commercials! are you people never satiated?! what more could you want?!
"You have healthcare! You pay us every month and we say: I don't care about your health!" Healthcare!
Oh fuck yeah white straight men are BACK baby.
White Male futures are looking good 
how could anyone possibly care about the content of something that exists solely to force itself into irrelevant contexts, and manipulate them into spending money? its like being angry at a mosquito for not buzzing around your ear at the right frequency
I think the Carl's Jr one was just such a blatant and cynical deployment of sex in advertising that it struck a cord with people in the worst way.
Now the context is different - chuds will be celebrating this as the retvrn of Western culture.
Two things
1.) Just from those two still images it looks like director said "What if we tried to make it look like it was a AI developed commercial, but with humans." I can't quite articulate how/why but it looks like a human trying to make what they think a Generative AI tool would make if you said "Make a Carls Jr commercial with a hot babe in it".
2.) Carl's Jr. has and always will be D-tier. Not once have i heard anyone say "Let's go get Carl's Jr". It's always "not there not much around, I guess there's a Carl's Jr. here?"
Back in the Jurassic age my local Carl's Jr. sold fried chicken and biscuits. I remember really liking them. I was wearing an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time, 
And one of those meals cost just a nickel. In those days, nickels had pictures of bumble bees on 'em. "Gimme five bees for a quarter!", you'd say.
fr, they had way better chicken than KFC, and KFC used to be a lot better too
I can't quite articulate how/why
It's because she's posing vaguely and staring off into the middle distance.

Great example of how marketing (and companies in general) are incredibly duplicitous but also just stupid. The average Superbowl watcher never stopped wanting models eating cheeseburgers. Just because Trump got re-elected doesn't mean the American electorate is suddenly a bunch of dumb hicks, they always were.
The American electorate used to be a bunch of dumb hicks. They still are, but they used to be, too.
Maybe I’m gay or some shit but I’m immune to the hot burger lady. WHOPPER WHOPPER WHOPPER WHOPPER completely brainwashed me but this does nothing for me. Where the fuck even has Hardee’s/carls jr anyway? Feel like I only see them on road trips
Burger King are MASTERS of ads that stick with you. I still think about that weird king mascot they once had sometimes.
The bikini model though? I remembered there was some fast food company that did that. Didn't remember it was Hardee's/Carl's Jr.

They should do this, but bait and switch with like an 80 year old drag queen and really get people talking.
Wow women holding burger? That's woke agenda everyone knows trad wives should only be eating salads
they dont want to fuck their trad wives though, they want to fuck virgin whore burger bikini models and then dehumanize them, the trad wives are there to do all their chores
No, they should be on the wine and egg diet
How very 2004
Oh yeahhj, I wanna fuck the burger
Remember the "I'd hit it" McDonald's ad?
No I don't. Do I want to
It was McDonald's doing a ”How do you do, fellow kids?” and using an expression they apparently didn't know the meaning of.
in the double cheeseburger
Unless you're into that. Whatever, I'm not a cop. I just don't want to hear any complaining when you scald your dick-flesh and get ketchup up your peehole.
Advertising is where conservative theatre kids go.
Damn, where's that anti-nostalgia post when you need it?
Look I like pretty ladies but the exploding ketchup burger thing is and always has been fuckin gross, who wants to see this shit
Closeted vampirism enthusiasts who get peckish when they see the nightclub scene at the beginning of Blade
Peak treatlerism
