This commercial should end with the family staring at the waitress, then silently getting up and leaving. That's what I would do.

I knew what commercial it was before I clicked. No wonder they went bankrupt.

Who the hell runs Friendly's marketing team? All you have to do to get me in there is show me a static image of that ice cream with the Reese's pieces face and a cone on its head. Instead, we get whatever this is. The look on the sons face clearly speaks for all of us.

Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.

Sometimes I'd rather pay $5 and have my pizza right away, rather than pay $15 and have to wait 15 minutes, even if the non-Little Caesar's pizza is significantly better.

"Jesus, did I say that? Or just think it? Was I talking? Did they hear me?"
I grew up outside of Detroit, HQ of Little Caesars pizza. Mike Illitch, the LC CEO, owns the Tigers and Red Wings, and profits from his pizza company went directly into funding those two franchises, so I always did my part and occasionally bought LC pizza for nearly 20 years.

It wasn't the greatest pizza, but it was inexpensive, so it was convenient. I've always found the crazy breads to be the best part of Little Caesars, though.

One day, about 12 years ago, I ordered a Hot 'n Ready for my brother and I and took it home to eat. After the first bite, I could tell something was wrong. The pizza had a strong chemical taste to it. It was revolting. I immediately spit the pizza out and smelled the other slices in the box.

They smelled like bleach.

I drove back to the store and told the manager what had happened. He apologized profusely and offered me another pizza free of charge. I told him to kiss my rear end and walked out. I went home and called corporate and told them what had happened, and they took my contact information down and said they'd get back to me after they investigated it.

About a month later, I got a letter in the mail from some regional corporate bigwig explaining that they found out that the reason the cheese tasted like bleach was due to the fact that the reusable bags that this particular location uses to store the cheeses are occasionally disinfected with bleach and then washed clean with soap and water before more cheese is placed back in.

Apparently this location had some lazy gently caress who thought it'd be okay to just do step 1 without following through on step 2 of the disinfecting process, and that's why the cheese was bleachy. I'm positive that other people that day also had the same problem I had.

They sent me a 100 dollar gift card as an apology and said that they hoped that this incident wouldn't affect my patronage of their stores in the future. I ended up giving the gift card to a relative and as of this day, I have never purchased or consumed another pizza from Little Caesars.

Besides, if we're talking pizza companies that are headquartered in Michigan, Hungry Howie's (HQ'd in Westland, MI) is the superior pizza place. Free flavored crusts, motherfucker.

They kind of disappeared off the face of the earth for awhile, but recently they've been coming back somehow. There was one in my hometown when I was growing up that closed down when I moved out about 7 years ago, but then a new one popped up in there about 2 years ago. Same thing goes for where I'm living now.

I think there was a time when Little Caesars was all about being both a pizza delivery service and a Chuck-E-Cheese style playground/party destination (at least in my area it was).

Then the business tanked and they closed a lot of locations and ditched the whole party thing. I think they've been slowly building up their network of cheap and fast pizza pick-up and delivery locations since.

:psyduck: I've never heard of that in my life, although the commercials from days of yore did kind of indicate that without actually showing the interior of a Little Caesar's, with how nonsensical they were.

Yeah, pretty much these days they exist as a cheap pizza joint. It's not the new improved Pizza Hut, nor is it Papa John's, but for being cheap and with the hot and readys, it's fast. The quality though does seem to depend on the individual location.

A new one opened not too far from me, so it's superb quality for a Little Caesar's. My apartment hosts Papa John's once a month for a $6 medium that's kinda stale because it's been sitting in a warmer all afternoon, but since the Little Caesar's is on the way home, I'd much rather get that, it's usually a lot fresher, and a dollar less for a large.

They lost their K-Mart contract several years ago when K-Mart went bankrupt, which was the big catalyst for revamping their business model in 2003 or 2004 -- they dropped delivery entirely (individual franchisees can offer delivery if they want, but it's discouraged by corporate), gutted the menu (you used to be able to get hot dogs there) and adopted the Hot-N-Ready model while also taking an approach of aggressive expansion. The cost of entry for opening a Little Caesars store is only about $200,000 - $300,000, which is about a fifth of what it usually takes to open a restaurant. I believe it's now the third- or fourth-fastest-growing restaurant chain in the country.

I remember Little Caesars used to be huge back in the 80s/early 90s. We used to go there all the time for the Big! Big! Cheese! pizza (the exclamation points are required). Then Pizza Hut came out with the Bigfoot which was basically the same thing but better and with a wider market and it wasn't long until LC's faded away. Then Pizza Hut, the sons of bitches, retired the Bigfoot, because I guess stomping out Little Caesars was really the only reason for it existing.

I live in Cleveland, so the Norton's Furniture ads are an unfortunate mainstay in terrible commercials. This newer one is the loving worst however:

This commercial likes to only come on between 2am and 6am. Imagine falling asleep with your TV on only to be woken up hours later to shrieking. I work at a hospital on night shift and plenty of people sleep with the TV on. More than once I've had confused old people freak out because this lady was screaming on their tv in the middle of the night.
