Carl's Jr., the confusingly named burger chain, has taken a break from their usual ad strategy of mixing comedy and mannequins (such as the one at right) to make and air a pretty funny ad for their hand-breaded chicken tenders.
Weirdly, although Carl's Jr. is only available in the western part of the country, I've been seeing the shorter cut of this ad all over the air here in New England. Maybe there's a lone Carl's Jr. outpost here nobody knows about or something. Anyway, you'll find the pretty funny extended cut of the ad on the next slide.

Carl’s, Jr. is also affiliated with Hardee’s, which is the same restaurant here in the Eastern part of the US. That’s why the ads are here. On the ads here in Florida it shows both of the logos for Carl’s and Hardee’s.
I live two blocks from their corporate HQ. Which reminds me, I’ve forgotten to stop in and thank them for the slutty commercials.
@rj
I literally haven’t seen a Hardee’s in years, but that explains why they’re running nationally.
Hardees turned away from offering low-calorie choices and basically said “you want some good shit? With butter and lard and everything? Come here right now. Just come right in. We got what you need, bro. We even expanded the booths, just for people like you.”
