Little Ceaser's gimmick is you walk right in and buy a premade pizza they just reheat. Cool, they're cheap and if you just want a quick dinner that's okay I guess. The problem is that they keep trying to burn Pizza Hut and Dominos with this line of thinking "Who wants to go on such a COMPLICATED website and order a pizza!?".

I've used the Pizza Hut site. It's literally just picking what you want, it's doesn't require an advanced degree Little Ceasers.

They make it fresh, their whole thing is just they're able to have it ready all the time because they have such a limited menu.

Hey Dominos believes that ordering a pizza is complicated enough that they needed to make a voice app to take orders. Because apparently pushing buttons or actually calling a store is too difficult.

While I don't really like the idea of it, I understand the point of having an app/website to take orders because it reduces some phone traffic to the store and allows the workers in the store to be more productive or feel less stressed/pressured, but I absolutely don't get why there needs to be a voice app.

It's kind of like those stupid Visa Checkout commercials that have people making fast reservations/buying stuff while doing something stupid/complicated. Are people really in such a hurry now that 15 extra seconds is going to stop them from making a purchase?

Dominos is the company that aired commercials trying to convince people not to call to order from them.

There is a Budweiser ad that is supposed to be about drinking responsibly. People at a bar phone for a cab, and the Clydesdales come and pick them up.

Were the Clydesdales sitting around the corner the whole time? How do the drunk people know that the Clydesdales are there for them from halfway down the street?("Is that our cab?") How does the horse team waiting for these people know that they have drunk enough Anheuser-Busch swill until they are mildly intoxicated?

How do they know they were drinking Bud products anyway? They could be drinking anything. Martinis, or Scotch on the rocks. What if they were drinking Miller? Or Guinness? Maybe they were ultra-hipsters, and drinking one of the European beers not associated with Anheuser-Busch also named Budweiser(over 100 legal disputes).

Are you familiar with the burgeoning field of ridesharing? They partnered with the ridesharing company Lyft.

Considering they were being filmed the whole time, I would say those people were probably in on it.

The Pizza Hut app had some dumb poo poo that made you shake the toppings on the pizza. It's cute, but come on.

I'm getting really tired of Popeye's ads. They have this smug superiority to them that seems really unearned. The latest one is especially bad because they have a representative of the "other guys" in it and they dress him poorly and give him a goofy voice.

I had the exact same same reaction. "Heh an after-school PSA parody... Wait... this is real :stare:"

I mean I guess it's sort of good that they're flat out saying how smoking makes you unattractive and unpleasant to be around in the eyes of normal people, but putting it in the form of a three minute hip hop video with people making goofy exaggerated faces and unironically shouting "HASH TAG" was pretty grating.

I feel like that song was made to be sung by Drag Queens about Grindr but somehow the muse missed her mark and it ended up in someone whose idea of funny is "let's just make it kinda bad, but ironically" like a post-'aughties version of the late 90's without a single lick of self-awareness about how kinda mean-spirited the whole thing is.

This was the first thing I saw when I started Mike Tyson Mysteries on my DVR. It's like they pulled someone through a time portal from the 90s, gave them a quick rundown on technological advancements in mobile phones, then immediately set them to work on an anti smoking PSA.
