Carls Jr. Ads - Is It Just Me?

[QueenOfCalifornia]

I loath them. I have hated the gobbling, drooling, noisy, nasty, messy, disgusting eating sound filled commercials for years and so I have refused to step foot or drive through a Carls Jr. - Haven't been to one since they adopted this method of luring the public into their evil web.

Their latest attempt at funny, with the Chile Cheese Burger, is just too horrible for words....

1. Never seen one and you're making me glad I don't live near that chain.

[Lyric]

3. Carl's Jr. = Hardees

Same menu, same company, different names for different parts of the country. :hi:

[Pacifist Patriot]

6. Ah, that sheds some greasy light on things. Disgusting places they are.

[Lyric]

7. I agree. Hardee's used to be okay, but those "ThickBurgers"

are just freaking disgusting. :puke:

[QueenOfCalifornia]

13. Hardee's

is owned by the same company...

[QueenOfCalifornia]

4. Florida

doesn't have Carl's Jr?

Wow

But you have Jeb Bush

[Pacifist Patriot]

5. Perhaps, but not in office!

[Lyric]

2. I think the Super Bowl one is the worst.

I seriously almost vomited the first time I saw this. :puke:

9. Holy shit. I can't believe the FCC would even allow that.

:wow:

19. Christ! Who do I sue?

I mean, decades of therapy almost made me believe I had only dreamed that, in a nightmare. To have it verified as real...

Where's the huddled-in-a-corner-shivering-and-sucking-thumb smilie when you need it?

[NMDemDist2]

8. no, I agree and have boycotted them for years. n/t

[MonkeyFunk]

10. No, it's not just you

I HATE them. They're just simply disgusting. I would NEVER go to a Carl's Jr. after seeing those ads.

[QueenOfCalifornia]

11. I wonder

who it is that responds to those ads in a positive way?

I guess it takes all kinds to make up a world.....

[PVnRT]

24. People who think Larry the Cable Guy is funny

That's about the only demographic I can think of that thinks commercials where the predominant sounds is that of someone chewing are good.

[Initech]

12. They shouldn't let people with food fetishes make their ads.

It really is quite disgusting. I like Carls because their burgers are good but the ads are horrible.

[AmyDeLune]

14. Oh *BLOORF!*

All those commercials say to me is "eat here and you too, can be a disgusting, sloppy, selfish, slob with no manners or self respect."

[CreekDog]

15. Yes, I agree, those commercials were bad and the new one is worse

though I like their burgers, especially the Teriyaki Pineapple one. :P

[Starbucks Anarchist]

16. The ads are bad, but the food's great.

:hide:

[Frank Cannon]

23. No argument there

I am ashamed to say that I LOVE their hamburgers.

[qnr]

17. Sorry, every time I hear Carls Jr. now, I think:

"Would you like some EXTRA BIG-ASS FRIES?" and "NOW WITH MORE MOLECULES!" (from Idiocracy, for those that missed it)

[petronius]

18. I just saw that one for the first time tonight - pretty disgusting

At first I thought the girl was scamming him with a fake splot so she could sneak all the fries, but it was way worse than that...

:puke:

20. The only one I've ever seen had Paris Hilton in it.

Ironically, it's about the only thing I've ever watched with Paris Hilton in it.

[quakerboy]

21. I have to admit

to visiting Carls Jr relatively often. Their value burger is by far the best Fast food burger around.

[deucemagnet]

22. I would endure the commercials for a Western BBQ Cheeseburger...

...and a side of zukes with ranch dressing. Our east coast Hardee's is but a pale shadow of the mighty Carl's Jr.

Carl's Jr....Fuck you, I'm eating!

[QueenOfCalifornia]

25. I just can't

begin to hand over money to a place that advertises in this manner. I am probably over sensitive when it comes to slovenly, sloppy, disgusting eating sounds and people dripping the secret sauce and grease all over themselves and their cars ---- I am horrified by the boneheaded, idiot guy with Chili all over his face whose girlfriend points out that he has something on his face... Haaaa-ha! so hilarious... that is, if your idea of humor is farting and potty jokes.

Ugh. I Tivo through the ads when I can or freeze them and then rush through to not see or hear anything.

I wish I could sue them for giving me a complex.
