And I'll bet you'd be polite to the drivethrough person, too.



It's great that these ads are effective, but they're just another boring, wannabeclever ad to me. I think maybe if they were cast differently, I'd find them a little more interesting, but the two guys just aren't likeable in my opinion.

I am always polite to them actually

Obviously, the ads are doing a good job of raising their visibility if their same-stores are up 10 percent. I just think these ads are dumb. The two guys are not a bad idea, it's just that the jokes are not funny.

And they need more of the ads... I frequently listen to the Royals on radio, and by the end of the season last year I bet that I had heard the "we'll trade you burgers and fries for tickets to a game" spot about ten million times.
