>By August 1992, the chain had fallen far from grace and into obscurity. So, as a last-ditch effort to bring back their lost customers, a new advertising mascot was created. That mascot was Mr. Delicious, a monochromatic middle-aged divorcee who hated his life but loved going to Rax. The nihilistic tone of the ads was meant to appeal to Gen X humor, but instead ended up driving away Rax's remaining customers, most of whom were baby boomers.
That's fricking hilarious.
>find out one of the few remaining Rax restaurants is just a few counties over >make plans to go there for laughs, find out the day before that the buffet/salad bar is gone
WHAT'S THE FRICKING POINT THEN, IT'S NOT A RAX ANYMORE
He's not though, him not being funny to Boomers was literally what destroyed the restaurant chain. >Hurr I just meant boomer as an older person
Shut the frick up meme-guzzling moron

Basically a constant mistake in any industry; When the Boomers in suits think copying whatever "the kids are into" to save them would work and instead becomes a detriment.
>two guys in the UK come up with a stupid song outside of the pub one night and put it on the internet with mildly disturbing visuals >a marketing guy on the other side of the atlantic goes, "YES! THIS WILL SELL OUR TOASTED SANDWICHES"
It was ahead of its time in a way, corporations cash in on internet memes constantly now

There's only one fricking quiznos left in my county, and I'm never letting it go. Frick fresh deli cuts.
I could lewd that
I believe you, anon-senpai!
Well, we're waiting, anon. Give him the vitamin D.
Do fem/gayanons really?
>clean cut
>obviously has a good job
>tailored suit
>gets plenty of vitamin C
>seems polite and well-mannered
what's the issue?
The issue is that could never be me.
4 of those are attainable
>Worst corporate mascot ever?
Tickatydee. In all seriousness I can't decide if he's the worst or the best.

>You can eat here
It's awful but also too memeable to ignore. Shit like this would have saved the business if it came out now.
It's like a family guy gag.

You deserve it for trying to pull a Harold and Kumar go to White Castle.
At least he’s funny in a boomer kind of way.
He's not though, him not being funny to Boomers was literally what destroyed the restaurant chain.
>Hurr I just meant boomer as an older person
Shut the frick up meme-guzzling moron
>old people were offended at a caricature of an old castrated man
Dumb old man.
I do have to wonder where they were trying to go with making vague allusions to having a vasectomy.
The issue was he was too real see if he was still married but hated wife wed have a winning million dollar character
Mr. D is a pretty cool name sounds like her gets alot of pussy
I was curious and looked it up
>And cartoons are mostly for people who wet their pants
Did we just get btfo'd by this guy?
I unironically love this ad and wish there had been a rax in my area at the time.

>zesty
You kid, but that mascot is what’s paying Gary Baseman’s bills
I got sick taking this stuff.
How?
THEY'VE GOT A PEPPER BAR!!!
Rathergood is kino

I used to love watching Rathergood as a kid , particulary this one:
>completely destroys the best sandwich restaurant in america

They're starting to make a comeback.
I went BECAUSE of the weird commercials
same beer?
zesty li'l wyte boi
Say no more
Honeycomb freakbeast seems downright criminal
Terrifying
>you WILL eat the burger
I miss this lil homie like you wouldn't believe.
Not at all, he's the most boring one but not the worst. The "worst" corporate mascot would make it so that you don't want to buy whatever it's selling
Airborne is useless placebo shit. You end up pissing most of it out because your body can't process that much.
the Esurance chick that they quietly got rid of when they found out the search results for Esurance was mostly rule 34
Is there any r34 of Erin and the spongmonkeys?
