I freaking LOVE shrimp and they just kept showing it and showing it. <BR/><BR/>I kinda hate the song, but I would watch it on mute. Because I LOVE shrimp.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and I agree with whoever said they hated the "urban apple". It was damn annoying.Ivonnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05338729796371169904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8796959957155457877.post-11551763226060090282008-11-25T18:10:00.000-05:002008-11-25T18:10:00.000-05:00I don't mind Applebee's.

It's just so homey... <BR/><BR/>I've seen this theme, two bozos singing, one with an upright bass, somewhere else. I don't remember where, but that commercial wasn't as eerie as this one. <BR/><BR/>And here in the Midwest we're pretty much convinced that shrimp is a myth.

How that's meant to drum up more business is beyond me.

For me, it's the "Come and get your love" Alltel commercials.

I hate any of those with that Corey Feldman-looking Guy Whats-his-Nuts from the Food Network sitting down at a table, shoving his face in the camera, and telling everyone what they should order. <BR/><BR/>Wait...that might be Friday's. I think maybe Bobby Flay did some Applebee's commercials. Well, whatever, I hate both of those guys. But I have a soft spot for both restaurants, even if I can't really tell them apart.BeckEyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00119780316809151433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8796959957155457877.post-22626976195758894292008-11-25T09:31:00.000-05:002008-11-25T09:31:00.000-05:00Excellent post.

Effing annoying, to say the least. <BR/><BR/>I love my basketball, but thanks to this commercial, every time I hear the balls hitting the hardwood, all I can think of doing is immolating the nearest Applebees. Coupled with the fact that the last time we ate there, a fat, old waitress hit on me non-stop in front of my wife and in-laws kind puts their shitty chain down on the list of places that I'll ever eat again.MJenkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12761003604210840898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8796959957155457877.post-83103984003634587022008-11-25T08:37:00.000-05:002008-11-25T08:37:00.000-05:00The winner in this category has to be the singing ...The winner in this category has to be the singing roadkill that Quizno's had a while back. Every time I saw that ad, I thought "What the f**k? Whose brilliant idea was this?" Singing rats+sandwiches does not = sales! Really, I just wanted some of the drugs that the execs were undoubtedly smoking when they agreed to this pitch.Tuesdayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06845668010872265819noreply@blogger.com
