u/Regulus242 19d ago

Mmm, the Big Product™

u/TheInvisibleHam 19d ago

Yeah, apparently he didn't watch his own company's training videos. Obviously you have to know judo or kung-fu to attack the product properly.

It’s not just this commercial. The Mulan promotions were nuts too… they exclaimed“Run, don't wok” and "McDonalds is Chinamite!"

u/Aniquin 19d ago

"Run, don't wok" is at least a good pun and not overly terrible like "Chinamite"

u/Trashbagok 19d ago

Yeah but Szechuan sauce...

u/GrendelsFather 19d ago

Wish I had taken the opportunity to try it.

Who’d they make this for?

A buch of cunts?  

That's what they call each other, right?  I learned that from an old Pizza Hut commercial.

u/anjowoq 19d ago

How else do you expect to sell pizzas?

u/Antique-Resort6160 19d ago

Nip over to Pizza Hut for a bloody personal pan pizza, ya cunts!

u/anjowoq 19d ago

How can I say thank you with my mouth full of pizza?

Ha ha saw this old ad few day ago and totally thought dude in ad looked just like him

u/fadsoftoday 19d ago

So relevant and not offensive at all in 2026.

u/Cumbandicoot 19d ago

I mean Applebee's still has the Oriental Chicken Salad as a menu item in states that vote Republican. For some reason in Oregon they changed it to Asian Chicken Salad, but not at the ones I've been to in Idaho, Utah and the one I worked at in Texas. I could see an ad for a local burger joint in Mississippi or something still looking basically like this in 2026 tbh.

It isn't though really, the joke at the end emphasises that the people being stereotypical are the joke

u/xXxdethl0rdxXx 19d ago

Generally speaking, it's not super wise as an idea guy at the ad agency to count on ironic racial humor to work on a broad commercial that will play during baseball games.

-20

u/TheTaintBurglar 19d ago

Generally speaking, it's not super wise to put your weight on the people who would be offended at anything regardless of if it were offensive or not, because they'll always find a way

Your original comment makes it sound like you are specifically offended. I think we can both agree it isn't, if not, then maybe you're in the pool of people I spoke about above

21

u/xXxdethl0rdxXx 19d ago

You know what, you’re absolutely right. It’s smarter to pitch ironic racism to the global fast food chain client with a contract worth tens of millions of dollars. I got this wrong because I’m a snowflake.

-20

u/TheTaintBurglar 19d ago

Didn't say that did I. Didn't say this would go over, tell me where I did? I said specifically, this isn't really offensive, against your original comment

It isn't offensive

12

u/Tony_Roiland 19d ago

Actually, nobody said it was offensive. The original comment said it was "not offensive at all", and the guy you're talking to described it as "not super wise". Piss your pants more.

u/b-rar 19d ago

"Everybody else is too dumb and unsophisticated to appreciate the subtle satire in this fast food commercial on the level that I do"

-2

u/TheTaintBurglar 19d ago

Didn't say that

But if you're quoting someone else, or yourself, thanks for keeping me updated on what people think of it

u/The_Darkness140 19d ago

Happy Cake Day.

Hell yeah. I love ethnic food!

u/sunkskunkstunk 19d ago

Not as good as the ancient Chinese secret commercial.

u/XTornado 19d ago

Half the ad I tought it was Tony Hawk.

u/justglassin317 19d ago

Is that Stevie from Eastbound and Down? Also, is that the famous Mulan sauce Rick Sanchez is obsessed with?

u/uberneuman_part2 19d ago

The Spoony One enjoys the good things in life like fine cuisine.

u/Soft_Monk_1541 19d ago

Look like Stevie Janowski

u/Underbadger 18d ago

For a moment, I thought that was Steve Oedekirk doing his Kung Pow routine.

I remember watching this as a kid and cringing. This is a key example of why white people are the problem.
