That’s usually my preference, but oftentimes my desire for mass overrides my desire for quality… and you can get more food at Carl’s or Jack for your buck.
I would just like to argue this here for a second. Carls Junior and Hardees are owned by the same company, and Carls Junior moved into the majority of vacated Hardees restaurants in America, but they are NOT the same restaurant.
Carls Junior serves MUCH better fries and burgers than Hardees EVER did. I ate hardees for like 10 fucking years straight because it was the closest FF joint to my house, then it turned into a Carls Junior and now I eat that shit all the time. Trust me, they are NOT the same. Not even close.
As far as CJ adverts go, I want to fucking blast every one of those “Dont bother me Im eating” cocksuckers int he face with a sawed off everytime I see those commercials. Who the FUCK decided that it was appetizing to turn up the gain on someone chewing there fucking food!! Fuck! I hate hearing my wife eat carrots and I have to listen to this shit!
FUCK!
Dont forget the year long “Are you eating your cheesepaper?” campaign too. That was a real winner.
FUCK!
Who’d pay $6 for a burger with baloney in it?
B-dum tish
Thank you very much! I’ll be here all week. Try the veal!
You’re right. I suppose I am too sensitive and must spend my money elsewhere. Those advertising wizards sure know their business!!! 
I have to admit that this campaign is extremely stupid, but it’s better than the last one, which was simply gross.
Sure I’ve seen people eat. Every day, in fact. BUT…never has it been the case (nor necessary) to have a bleedin’ microphone practically in their mouth so we can hear every crunch, slurp, swallow, squish…GAH! Icky icky icky!
[sub]good food, but haven’t been able to stomach going in years[/sub]
Since 1997, when Carl’s acquired the Hardee’s chain, Hardee’s has been in a steady tailspin. Several Hardee’s around here (Birmingham, Alabama) have closed, and I gotta tell you, if you can’t sell fast food in Alabama, you’ve got a problem.
I don’t care what the ads are like, just bring Carl Jrs, Whattaburger, In n’ Out, Jacks (redux), and anyone else here to NY!
All we got left around here are McDonalds, Burger Thing, Wendys, with a handful of Checkers and 3 Roy Rogers thrown in. Help!
Mmm, Whattaburger.
And I can’t stand In’N’Out. They have the nastiest flesh anywhere - I eat my burgers more or less naked (cheese only, thanks), and I’d rather have a nice beefy burger than their thin, not-really-a-patty any day.
And all of you with sick minds out there can just bite me.
Who’s the one with the sick mind here?
There are a few chains I won’t eat at, and Carl’s Jr is one of them. Partly for the ads, but mostly because I don’t care for their food. If I wanted that much ketchup, I wouldn’t have asked for a burger. I don’t care for Whattaburger, either. And I really don’t get the In ‘N’ Out mystique. Yeah, it’s a burger. It’s okay. It’s not GREAT.
My fast food of choice is Jack in the Box, which I first tried because I liked their commercials so much. Ultimate Cheeseburger - yum!
Personally, I don’t find Carl’s to be that inexpensive. Yeah, they usually have a nasty 99 Cent item or two on the menu but if you want the good stuff, you will pay well over $5 for a combo meal. By comparison, an In-n-Out double-double meal is like $4.25.
Oh, and the “If it doesn’t get all over the place” ads made me sick too. No, I don’t want so much goopy shit on my burger that it gets all over the place. Just like when I order a burger with no mustard, that doesn’t mean double the ketchup.
I don’t get it.
Ha! I loved the “all over the place” campaign. Carl’s Jr., man: burgers you can hear. The minute I see those images and hear those sounds, my mouth starts watering, my heartburn kicks in, and I can see myself, sitting across from Mr. Rilch and his Double Western, sinking my teeth into a Famous Star dripping with ketchup and thick with pickles, while the fries settle down to that degree where they’re cool enough that they won’t burn you, but still warm enough to be pliable…
Ahem.
But I despise “Jack”! There’s just something so creepy about a guy who has such a suave voice but can’t change his facial expressions! Reminds me of Al Gore.
“Don’t bother me, I’m eating.”
Personally I would expect the patrons to growl like dogs do when you get too close to the dinner bowl.
OK. Time to put on the flame-proof suit here.
I’m a foreigner, as you know. For personal reasons, I do visit California frequently (hi Heloise! :D).
I’ve seen one Jack in the Box ad that just… I don’t know. It’s the super-patriotic one. The one that ends in: “And remember: this is still the best darn country on earth!”
Question time: are there any Americans who, like me, see that commercial and think: Get a fucking grip! You’re selling burgers, shitheads! What the hell is your damage?
I mean, it’s so over the top to me. Of course, I understand why my US patriotism-meter may be a tad different from an American citizen’s, especially right now. But STILL. I’m just wondering what youse guys think of it. Is this annoying to some Americans too?
Hahaha…no, we think it’s funny. It IS over the top. It’s SUPPOSED to be over the top. That’s why it’s funny.
They’re only selling burgers, but the commercials are, with tongue firmly planted in cheek, trying to make it seem more important. Funny. See?
Freakin’ furriners…I guess American humor is too sophisticated for them. USA! USA! USA! USA! :rolleyes:
oops…that :rolleyes: was supposed to be a 
I did allow for the possibility that I was missing something, like the sort of humour you describe. Would that become more apparent by watching more JitB commercials? I’ve only seen this one.
Just to be clear: no offense was intended, of course.
No, I know you weren’t trying to offend anyone. I’m just giving you a hard time.
But yeah, Jack in the Box commercials tend to be over the top. One of them ends with Jack stating (a la Apocalypse Now) “I love the smell of mayonnaise in the morning.” They also had one that has Satan calling up Jack accusing of him of lying about the not making the burgers until you order it thing…and there are people being thrown into a lake of fire in the background. Good stuff.
