Abilene Slim SASS 81783 Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 Not sure if y'all see Sonic fast food commercials in your area. For those of you who do, do you find those two guys in car really irritating? Especially the doofus in the passenger seat? Wow, I just can't hit the mute button fast enough.
Yul Lose Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 Yep, we just got our first Sonics a couple of years ago and the commercials are annoying.
Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 I have never seen a Sonic restaurant. I have seen the Sonic commercials. I probably will never look for a Sonic restaurant.
Abilene Slim SASS 81783 Posted October 28, 2015 Author Posted October 28, 2015 The one near us makes a pretty good burger and a couple of other things. Too bad they think these guys help sell the product.
Dawg Hair, SASS #29557 Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 They make awesome hot dogs and fried onion rings, but their stupid moronic comercials are defunitively turning me off!
Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 Advertising does not always reflect what the company hopes the public will perceive. Most of the time I can not understand what they are trying to sell me. And then I reflect on how much money they (the sponsors) are spending to produce such drivel and who is paying for that advertisement, and I go away thinking that I do not want to support such stupid action.
Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 Keeps me out of the place Yep! Me, too.
Rye Miles #13621 Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 I can't change the channel fast enough, I don't even want to see 'em
Capt. James H. Callahan Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 They are annoying! They were kind of amusing for awhile, but they got old a long time ago. Kinda like the Geico caveman! JHC
Bama Red Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 What keeps me out of Sonic is the food. All the burgers taste like they are half beef and half sawdust. As for their hot dogs, I've seen hot dogs and scrapple made - won't eat either one any more.
Blackcat James SASS# 29509 Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 All I will say is they donated to the current presidents campaign, nuff said.
Utah Bob #35998 Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 A few years ago they had a man and women in the car. They were both comedians and lot of their lines were ad libbed. They were pretty funny. These two guys...not so much.
Tom Bullweed Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 I focus on the cars. I have seen a 1972 Olds 442 convertible and a Buick Skylark xonvertible from 1973 or 1974. Two guys still living with mom and hanging out with each other much too often....
Calico Mary Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 Aside from Budweiser (and they haven't come up with anythin' gud in a while), there taint very many commercials I'z seen in my life that were werth wastin' any time on....
J-BAR #18287 Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 I'm trying to think of any ads that made me want to go out and buy the product. I'm going to have to get back to you...
Dustin Checotah Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 We get the commercials up here in Maine. I think the nearest one is 500+ miles away. But when visiting Oklahoma My wife and I liked their Cherry limeade with gin. We added the gin and only when we got home. Dustin
Sgt. C.J. Sabre, SASS #46770 Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 I'm starting to get tired of Flo, too. HEY! Anybody remember Madge? Mrs. Olsen? Mr. Whipple?
Abilene Slim SASS 81783 Posted October 29, 2015 Author Posted October 29, 2015 I'm starting to get tired of Flo, too. HEY! Anybody remember Madge? Mrs. Olsen? Mr. Whipple? Yup. "...you're soaking in it." --Madge
Sedalia Dave Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 I usually DVR shows I want to watch just so I can skip though the commercials. The Sonic commercial is at the top of the list as to why I do so
Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 The targeted market is usually BHGs, Big Hungry Guys, people who burn a lot of calories and eats a lot, like construction workers.
Smoken D Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 They are there to attract the mentality kind that they portray. Nothing more, nothing less.
Dawg Hair, SASS #29557 Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 They are annoying! They were kind of amusing for awhile, but they got old a long time ago. Kinda like the Geico caveman! JHC And Progressive!
G. I. Tarpicker, SASS #998 Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 What I dislike most is the constant repeating of ads in the same break. Advertising in general is annoying and the constant repetition simply makes it that much worse. -- GIT
Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 Well, in one way you could say they are successful in their endeavor. They have us talking about their commercial, and thus discussing their business. Perhaps that is the end game. I have never been able to figure that out, but then again, nobody ever said I was smart.

G. I. Tarpicker, SASS #998 Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 True enough, Bob, but that still doesn't make advertising any less annoying and/or objectionable. -- GIT
Utah Bob #35998 Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 True enough, Bob, but that still doesn't make advertising any less annoying and/or objectionable. -- GIT Hitler was pretty annoying too.
Utah Bob #35998 Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 I've eaten at Sonic in Cortez only a few times. There's an open field next door and you can watch the prairie dogs sprint over to pick up dropped french fries. One get's one's entertainment where one can.
ORNERY OAF Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 Weird....I like the Commercials hate the food....hmmmm
Bugs Bonney SASS # 10171 Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 The commercials wouldn't be so bad if they would not show the same ones over and over. The first time can be amusing, the second time not so much the 123 time it is not only not funny and annoying but makes me want them to go out of business so I'll never see one of their stupid commercials again. Anyone remember the Busch Beer commercials with the two truck drivers looking for the Artisians because the beer was made with artisian well water? Those were pretty funny and the campaign was short.
Tyrel Cody Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 I'm trying to think of any ads that made me want to go out and buy the product. I'm going to have to get back to you... How about Pepsi?
J-BAR #18287 Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 How about Pepsi? No; that just made me want Cindy Crawford. 😉
Blackwater 53393 Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 In the most ironic of situations, I HATE the Sonic commercials. I DESPISE our Quisling president. I find nothing enticing about the "Windy city". I DO like the Sonic Chicago Dog..............a lot! go figure
