Can Someone please explain this Wendy's Commercial to me?

[RobFunk]

i knew somebody would bring this up. So does anyone know?

I mean really. Youre an advertising firm and you have the multi-million dollar Wendy's account. A pretty heady accomplishment in itself.

So, youre all sitting around your expensive oak table with your note pads or laptops trying to brainstorm a new advertising campaign for Wendys.

Somebody exclaims "Hey! I got an idea! Why dont we have a bunch of people kicking trees in the woods. And then like, you know, we could have a dude wearing the red hair from the wendy's logo and ultimeatly convinces everyone that they deserve 'A juicy burger' "

Then somebody else goes "Yeah...I kinda like that...Thats a great idea!"

Then somebody else says "Oh yeah, definatly. Draw that one up, that is terrefic."

And before you know it, confused viewers like all of us are. Are watching a bunch of people in the woods kicking trees. :ughhh:

Do you even know how much these top designers get paid to come up with this non sensical crap?! It's got to be at least 150k easily.

The trees represent crappy, dry burgers. Wendy's dude won't settle for burgers that taste like wood. He wants a fresh, never-frozen 'juicy burger'.

Good imagery, and good use of the wig to identify the brand and stick it in our heads.

frozen burgers can be good, ever have a Bubba's burger ?

Never even heard of a Bubba's burger. I'm an old-fashioned Big Mac girl myself.

sold frozen in supermarkets 6 1/3 pound patties of Angus beef for about $8

cook frozen.

They are quite good.

Seems like every other commercial nowadays are the "Cingular Wireless" ones, where the call gets drops and the person doesn't realize it and starts thinking bad things..

those ads are lame !

Do you guys get President's Choice brands down there?

These burgers are uber-yummy. Throw some portobella mushrooms on there ... to die for.

I thought there would be some kind of a mockery that only American audience would understand. Good imagery? for sure. Clever? not at the moment until i "get" it.

why are people kicking trees? why do people eat frozen burgers? it makes no sense why they do it, when they could be doing something different.

:money8:ope:

I don't think so, that site looks pure Canadian,much like Bubba is pure USA, but there is some name that uses President, just can't recall it.

Odd that a Canadian company would use president. I don't think that's the same one here using President, but it does sound somewhat familiar as well !

The site should list US places to buy if they sell in US.

Just because its frozen, doesn't mean its crap. I'll take a Bubba's burger over McDonalds any day.

I love Alaskan king crab legs, you have to get them frozen.

It would be better if trees represented the obvious - every guy knows (or wishes he knows) what it means to wake up with wood....c'mon this could be a perfect ad for Viagra or Enzyte not a juicy burger.

Instead of having this smilin' Bob guy

they have wig man trudging through the forest while all around him guys are beating on the trees, maybe even throw in some hot babes polishing the bark, the voice-over asks "got wood?" , camera zooms in on wig-ger and as he shakes his head NO, the announcer says
"then try _______ " (insert favorite penile drug here)
