My husband and I witnessed a Hardee’s commercial last night that left us staring at the TV with open mouths. (Can’t find a link, sorry, but I swear I’m not making this up.)
I’m paraphrasing here, but it basically went: In the Napoleonic wars…France surrendered.
In the Franco-Prussian war…France surrendered.
In WWII…Yep, France surrendered.
DON’T BE A BIG CHICKEN! Hardees NEW Big Chicken Sandwich blah blah blah…
It was one of those moments when your brain simply refuses to believe what the eyes and ears are telling it.
There’s one for some prescription eyedrops I saw the other day that almost made me puke. Some guy is on the golf course and his dry, allergy eyes are bothering him, so he TAKES THEM OUT OF HIS HEAD and puts them IN THE BALL WASHER!!! They actually show an eyeball sloshing around in the ball washer. What next, a laxative commercial will have someone remove their intestine and wring it out? BLEAH!
They’ve said as much. I vaguely remember this one from a few years back…
[It is the first day of school. Some kid has been picked to tell the class what he did during the summer.]
“First, my parents took me to Hardee’s! I had a burger with an all-beef patty, sesame seed bun, and fries, it was great! I got a cool toy too [blah blah blah] … then we went to France. There’s no Hardee’s in France. :(”
