One of our Twitter followers, @Telos09, brought the following ad to my attention a couple weeks ago. It's been a while since we've taken a "request," for lack of a better term, so let's get into it.
Painful.
Woman: "Uh, what's the Loaded Baked Potato Skillet like?"
Let me stop right here. Are there really people who go into Denny's and start asking the waitstaff to give opinions on what the food is like? This is the kind of thing you do at a real restaurant, where maybe you're not sure if the preparation is going to be what you want. Is a dish too spicy? How's the meat prepared? That kind of thing. At Denny's this is not an issue. What's the Loaded Baked Potato Skillet like? Uh, it's like we threw some potatoes and other shit into a pan and then cooked it for five minutes.
Waitress: "It's like, uh..." [makes sizzle sounds]
Kid in nearby booth: "No, it's more like:" [makes sizzle sounds]
Douchebag at a nearby table: "If you have prime rib, it's like:" [makes sizzle sounds]
Okay, everyone just shut the fuck up. And I know Denny's is just trying to work all the skillets into this ad, but prime rib? Who the fuck asked you about prime rib, dude? We're talking about the Loaded Baked Potato Skillet at the moment. Fuck off.
Old lady: "The Western Skillet's like:" [makes sizzle sounds]
NO ONE CARES.
The ad then cuts between all the people doing their stupid sounds in a way that reminded me immediately of the original Budweiser "Wassup" commercial from, God, what, a decade ago? On the one hand, probably just a coincidence. On the other hand, my mind went there IMMEDIATELY. I don't know. Whatever.
Woman: "Oh, that sounds good, I'll have one of those, please!"
I get the joke. It's not funny.
Guy: "I'll get the:" [makes sizzle sounds]
Die.
We then see the actual skillets, and man do they just look gross. They don't quite reach Famous Bowl levels, but they really do just look like a bunch of shit tossed into a pan. Yeah, just throw all that shit in there, and then drizzle some other shit on top of it. I am not getting hungry.
Another thing that doesn't get my appetite up is the idea of a bunch of spittle getting into my food because people are recklessly making sizzling sounds. "Say it, don't spray it"? Ew.
ReplyDeleteHeya this is Telos09. And yeah, the say it don't spray it part at the end was disgusting. Let's ruin everyone's appetite!
