Wendy's embraced internet culture too much and it worked.

their mascot's a fucking clown, they'll never be able to compete.

they need to ditch him and anthropomorphize those delicious apple pies or something.

And then they switched their ketchup to some nasty generic brand that tastes like shit and is too thin. Ive never went to a wendy's since they went all cheapassed and stopped serving Heinz (and raised their pries at the same time)

I have to ask.. Are all commercials this freakin bad in the US? xD

[Blade Wolf]

so you put fries in a plastic toy because using your hands to pick up the fries and dip them is to difficult?

Pretty much. This is what the world is coming to.

They can go frork themselves.

Honestly have no idea. I have not seen a commercial (or owned a TV) since 1998. Deep Space 9 was on the last time I saw a commercial.

I'll be honest.

This is probably one of the better attempts at an older company attempting to do something new and interesting with its marketing.

A lot of companies try to force memes into their advertising, or try to be 'hip' or more importantly 'relevant', thinking if they throw in a few buzzwords or trending things, it will get sales. 97 out of 100 times they come off as silly, cringey, or even outright offensive, as if their marketing department are people who aren't actually let out of small cages until the actual meeting occurs.

I feel like the recent set of ads really touches base with honest humor and satire that isn't trying to latch onto something. It's silly, but it's legitimately original. It's the stuff that makes Adult Swim stuff funny. All the while the ACTUAL marketing of REAL products is subtle and flows with the commercial. While I'm no fan of McDonald's itself, I applaud their attempts to do marketing correctly.

Yeah 99,9% of all Ads are terrible but i even found one meme ad that isnt terrible.

And just when you think Americas obesity epidemic cannot get any worse. They make a fork out of French fries.

Haha, I don't watch TV myself but I don't ever recall seeing such horrible acting in a commercial in my whole life. That chef standing on the left is freakin' me out quite a bit lmao

i mean, i don't intend to use this fork. but i also do not like getting sauces and stuff on my fingers while eating.

i am that weirdo that eats chicken wings with a knife and fork. and pizza.

I feel like they released this on May 1st pretending nobody would realize it was their April 1st video.

Do you also eat M and Ms with a spoon?

no, i just eat them fast enough that they don't melt on me.

getting messy is not something i allow.

i even eat "sloppy joe's" on hotdog buns to avoid mess.

This is so amAZING....... or not.

Every day we drift further from God.
