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 liz-society really hits hard.

Just go look at porn online like normal people my god

but then my son will see it on our shared jerk off tracker

[–] carpoftruth@hexbear.net 27 points 5 days ago

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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

Tucker Carlson must be happy, soon the green M&M will again be sexually desirable to him.

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.

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?"

[–] lurker_supreme@hexbear.net 36 points 5 days ago (2 children)

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, yells-at-cloud

[–] Vingst@hexbear.net 20 points 5 days ago

fr, they had way better chicken than KFC, and KFC used to be a lot better too

[–] RoabeArt@hexbear.net 16 points 5 days ago

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.

It's because she's posing vaguely and staring off into the middle distance.

[–] 7bicycles@hexbear.net 12 points 5 days ago

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

[–] CthulhusIntern@hexbear.net 22 points 5 days ago (2 children)

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.

[–] PorkrollPosadist@hexbear.net 15 points 5 days ago

Wake up with the king!

“Where’s the beef!?”

-is the only burger add that really sticks in my brain, I think that was Wendy’s

[–] tamagotchicowboy@hexbear.net 11 points 5 days ago

The old school mail coupons burger monarch sends out gets my old ass, something about tangibility.

[–] CyborgMarx@hexbear.net 31 points 5 days ago

Wow women holding burger? That's woke agenda everyone knows trad wives should only be eating salads

[–] picklemeister@hexbear.net 27 points 5 days ago

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

[–] SuperZutsuki@hexbear.net 12 points 5 days ago

No, they should be on the wine and egg diet

[–] SovietBeerTruckOperator@hexbear.net 22 points 5 days ago (2 children)

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."

Youd have to have the morals of an alley cat

Damn, where's that anti-nostalgia post when you need it?

[–] Moss@hexbear.net 24 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Oh yeahhj, I wanna fuck the burger

[–] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 15 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Remember the "I'd hit it" McDonald's ad?

[–] Moss@hexbear.net 10 points 5 days ago (1 children)
[–] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 13 points 5 days ago (2 children)

It was McDonald's doing a ”How do you do, fellow kids?” and using an expression they apparently didn't know the meaning of.

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

[–] Carl@hexbear.net 15 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

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.

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?

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 17 points 5 days ago

Peak treatlerism

They should do this, but bait and switch with like an 80 year old drag queen and really get people talking.
