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.
