Title: Yet ANOTHER GS-based commercial...
Post by: Chief-O on April 24, 2005, 12:50:58 PM
A commercial I just saw on Arby's featured a typical 3-person quiz. One of the contestants [with the Arby's hat on his head] keeps buzzing in and answering each question incorrectly. The host this time was [shudder] Michael Burger, and the set was hard to describe----I'd call it a question-mark covered eyesore.

Dick Brisket wasn't available.

(And if you ever find a restaurant serving Dick Brisket, my advice is to run away as fast as you can. :))

And one of the contestants (the one with the Arby's hat, I do believe; I just caught the last few seconds of the game show portion of the ad) was the host of Oblivious, Regan Burns.

EDIT: Yep, here we are.  It's Regan Burger!  Er, Regan AND Burger.  At least the stupid oven mitt is nowhere in sight....

Then WHY post? To add......nothing?

I don't get a few of these posters anymore.

That's right, I hate when people just post and don't add anything to the topic.

I wonder what question Regan got right to go up to 100 points, BTW.  That was a pretty good commercial, but I still liked the basketball and courtroom commercials better.

At least it's problably better than the Orbitz commercial with Wink Martindale.
I can't make a decent joke with that commercial.

The FF Old Navy commercial from a while back would've been funnier if it was a Shout commercial. They'd Shout the answers during bullseye round while some jerkoff is spraying barbeque sauce on the contestants. :)
Can't remove that stain? SHOUT it out! :p

... and serve it on that brisket :)

Well, I got my first two looks at this commercial...and I have to say, Arby's is trying too hard. I sure as hell dont think Reuben when I go to Arby's. I think, "how much closer is it to Wendy's, Taco Bell, and Popeyes in the food court?"

I just don't like the quiz-show type element in ads. Never did.

And what, Bob Eubanks wasn't available?
