Carl Hardee, Sr.\* looked like the stereotypical corporate magnate straight out of a Marvel superhero movie. Like “Antman.” \*And that NAME! As someone used to looking at portraits of Carl “Everybody’s Grandpa” Karcher whenever I went into a Carl’s Jr., I just cannot abide the idea of a Carl Hardee, Sr. existing. Fortunately, I rarely find myself watching commercials. ---

For the record, I found the commercial to be pretty stupid. I’m not shocked; Carl’s Jr./Hardee’s commercials have been stupid for a long, long time. ---

I stopped eating at Carl’s Jr. years ago because of their commercials. I’m not a prude and could care less about nude women in ads, but the misogyny of those ads is so blatant, that I just could not bring myself to eat there. I wonder if the fact that Puzder didn’t get the Labor Secretary job played any part in this decision? ---

If I had to eat at a fast food place, I could think of a lot worse that Carl’s Jr. Especially those paired with Green Burrito. The new ads look moderately funny as well. I never took the cheesecake ads seriously, and I’m surprised anybody did. They were self-mocking by themselves. ---

I was always bemused by the cheesecake ads, considering Carl Karcher’s conservative political views. ---

I like their Low Carb/gluten free Thickburgers. I don’t know why absolutely no one else offers something like that. The lettuce has to be cheaper than the bread. ---

Having conservative political views doesn’t necessarily make one a Puritan. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/sharp-turn-carls-jr-disses-the-ads-of-carls-jr/783352.md?page=1)
