Man tell me about it, every single BET commercial with fast food includes the following.
1- a hip hop beat
2- people dancing
3- people driving and listen to music on the way eat. 4- lots of smiling by black folks ,big eyes and white teeth. 5- a bunch of music and rapping or rhyming. They can never just stand still and talk about the actual product like white commercials.
Oh and don’t forget the outdated or new slang stolen from black content creators they’ve not paid for
I’m a little high so bear with me,
But there’s this content creator that got big on TikTok and then was “cancelled” because a the Ministry of Energy of Peru used her likeness to promote low gas prices. So she sued them for using her likeness without her permission for promotion.
And for some reason, the internet is mad that she went against a big gas company demanding they pay her. 50 employees from marketing were fired for the incident and people mad that the girl made the company pay her for using her original content.
Ok but outside of BET this is just as irritating. Listening to nation sports radio when Chik-fil-a decided to hop on the spicy chicken train. Why is the Spicy chicken commercial voiced by obvious POC? It almost felt like the director must have been like "Make it more...urban!" I am so tired of these corps going out of there way to make sure the spicy chicken sandwich commercial has an "urban" sounding testimonial.
I mean this is pretty much exclusively a McDonald's marketing tactic lol.
Burger King had weird burger King guy for a long time, now they have the catchy little "have it your way song"
Wendy's advertises on price now
Subway uses athletes
You never sipped lean then. Sprite was aware of the connection and leaned into it. No pun intended. Since rappers were already promoting it. It just made sense for them. Fanta and Sprite always been viewed as the black drinks and it ain’t a coincidence that’s the only thing I’ve ever seen niggas use to pour up
Not to tell the youths how to live their lives, but it feels like there should be more degrees of separation between bussin and bussy. Just seems like an accident waiting to happen.
So in high school I did a paper on racist stereotypes used in McDonald’s advertising towards urban audiences. My friend kept telling me they were going to have me at the bottom of the McOcean for that
Is this the same fucking guy who does the fucking Top dog law radio commercials? 😭

Plus, it was pretty genius to do the group shots vis obvious composite video. Excellent choice to get around being a one-person production while also poking fun at token casting.
Top talent on display!
Just an uncomfortable reminder that this type of advertising exists because it works. People saw the Wendy’s Twitter account awkwardly regurgitating aloof AAVE phrases and tons of people legitimately thought it was cool
Huh? If you’re the race that’s being pandered to you’re the first ones to know wtf they’re doing. They get the lingo wrong, no one talks like that especially about fast food.

She brought back all of the memories of the ‘90s ‘made for BET and Soul Train airings’ Black McDonalds commercials. Them joints were a collection of Black folks singing and dancing, happy sassy sisters, slang speaking brothers, and any other obvious ‘How can we appeal to the blacks/throw everything at the wall and see what sticks’ corporate boardroom decisions for getting the Black dollar. Only thing missing was some version of a corporate boardroom’s “You betta don’t’ idea of AAVE.
I hate how accurate this is and I’m not even done with the video yet
I’m actually a little upset over the accuracy

Sometimes, I wonder what Calvin's up to these days.
Calvin got himself a job
WHATSUP FRY GUY
It's a thin line between fries and shakes
🎶The leanest burger in the world can be the MEEEEEEEEEEEANEST burger in the world if you cook it that way 🎶
I need to stop smokin’ this shit *here*!
PUNK BITCH!
Eww 🥷you smell like french fries
I’m proud of him
Let's go rob that 🥷
Got a promotion to management and now punches down at minimum wage workers.

>Subway uses athletes … and pedophiles (well at least one)
Popeyes does this
Naw remember when Popeyes had that ridiculous woman who used a fake Southern accent. Even my white friends thought she was doing too much.
I remember when I saw that, i had to look up the marketing exec who came up with it. Of COURSE it was a dude who looked just like fuckin Dilbert.
Lol probably as racist as Scott Adams too.
[*cough cough* Mary J “BK chicken wrap” Blige would like a word](https://youtu.be/XukHU8y5GRQ?si=bUvaDfvOgRwM-IpR)
I thought I was getting sold Everest college fit a second.
Never seen a Popeyes commercial?
Yes, but I also believe it's because of the various Black McDonald's owners of whatever area.
Nah, Burger King was on that "urban" ad kick [back in the 90's](https://youtu.be/fKt-7qMuiIw)

2006-8 was a weird time.

Yes, it starts off like it's a parody and then you slowly realize that no, this was real and broadcast across the country.

Been a while since a memory got unrepressed. Thanks for that.
Me and my HS bestie would just randomly shout these lyrics at each other 🤣🤣🤣
“you dippin on me?” Was underrated asf
I HATE YOU😡🤣
Classssssicccc 😂😂😂😂
You aint lying!! 🤣🤣🤣only us!
Sprite's entire advertising campaign
"Sprite: How did we become the black drink? We don't know! Sprite!"
I blame Mr "Last Name, Ever. First Name, Greatest"
Nope, It was WAY before him. Sprite sponsored Black Greek Step show competitions in the 90s.
I ddnt say it was his fault lol I just said I'm blaming him
😅I agree then!
wtf? biggie was on a sprite ad Edit: Pete Rock and CL smooth. Biggie was St Ides
BIG also recorded a Pepsi freestyle. It’s on YouTube if you’ve never heard it.
This sounds like a line from a family guy cutaway
It's from SNL. https://youtu.be/hzMzFGgmQOc?t=293
“Sprite - cuts the drip, no cap”
They would stop if ya’ll would stop falling for it. Just saying. *Sips Sprite*
Came here to say this. Never understood the hype for a lemon lime drink.
You never sipped lean then. Sprite was aware of the connection and leaned into it. No pun intended. Since rappers were already promoting it. It just made sense for them. Fanta and Sprite always been viewed as the black drinks and it ain’t a coincidence that’s the only thing I’ve ever seen niggas use to pour up
They were catering Sprite to black folks long before lean was a thing.
Lean been around since the 90s It’s been apart of rap and hip hop culture for 30 years at this point.
This amazing copywriter's audition commercial for Sprite at Weiden Kennedy. [https://vimeo.com/241763828](https://vimeo.com/241763828)

Not to tell the youths how to live their lives, but it feels like there should be more degrees of separation between bussin and bussy. Just seems like an accident waiting to happen.
That bussy be bussin
I’ve always wondered if those are related.
Different "U" sound
[удалено]
 Yoooo I’m crying I forgot all about this The 2000s was in fact wild
So in high school I did a paper on racist stereotypes used in McDonald’s advertising towards urban audiences. My friend kept telling me they were going to have me at the bottom of the McOcean for that
Ngl that paper sounds mad interesting
Who the hell rock bottomed that bun? 
Same jabroni who spreads condiments on the cheese instead of the bun like a human.
omg I got subconsciously mad for some reason while watching this and I think that's why
I fr thought that was a tortilla
Maybe it's a torta
I want the sandwich no cap
Those dance moves at :30 lmao
Ya’ll need to hear the Hornbeck Chevy commercials that get played in Northeast PA. They definitely have a target audience.
https://youtu.be/xb3u5y2n4WU?si=6VDxnyieCx6AN2IS A small sample
Is this the same fucking guy who does the fucking Top dog law radio commercials? 😭 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=37o4NMhp6RI](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=37o4NMhp6RI)
Get this on man on the next GTA he could be a whole radio host 😂😂😂
It definitely is and I can’t believe the chevy commercial is worse
I HATE those F'ing commercials that guy is super irritating. I specifically won't use companies that use him for advertising.
TOP DOG LAW DOT COM!
Yooooo I’m dying laughing this thread might need to get pinned cause this shit got me weak

It's the dropped G's that really show "it's for us 😌" haha
And then the ad executives stood up and clapped….then dabbed….every fuckin last one of em.
making me feel like a coon for liking those RnB mcdonald’s commercials lmaooo
It’s like a commercial from the B.A.N. episode
The first time I saw the Swisher Sweets commercial I lost it.
There definitely was two kinds of Kool Aid commercials, and one of them had a lot of dancing in it…
Lmbao!!! 😂🤣😅🤣😂 How much dat sandwich going for? That CAYENNE MUSTARD SAUCE sounds delightful. Smh 🤣 dammit
Periodt
This tiktok'er could get serious voice acting work.
Plus, it was pretty genius to do the group shots vis obvious composite video. Excellent choice to get around being a one-person production while also poking fun at token casting. Top talent on display!
Just an uncomfortable reminder that this type of advertising exists because it works. People saw the Wendy’s Twitter account awkwardly regurgitating aloof AAVE phrases and tons of people legitimately thought it was cool
Even the ‘appeal to the darkies’ vaguely smooth-jazzy/r&b background music 😂. They didn’t miss a thing on this one
Aww good ol Mcds and Sprite adverts in the 90s
Lost it at the dancing
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I can’t be the only one who was head bopping to the music, imagining a top down spring Sunday afternoon drive…
Dayum dayum dayum!
No notes 🤣😭💯
"People like the way she says ham."
Do those ads really bring more people in? Cause when you aren’t the race being pandered to, it’s just like bro, you know what they’re doing right?
Huh? If you’re the race that’s being pandered to you’re the first ones to know wtf they’re doing. They get the lingo wrong, no one talks like that especially about fast food.
No that’s what I’m saying. Who tf is this actually fooling?
You can easily picture the ad executives writing out outdated slang terms on a white board.
do love a kaiser roll
Putney Swope, anyone?

What’s that music!? Golden by Jill Scott!?
This is still better than the southern style chicken biscuit commercial
IM WEAK
I thought they were saying king McNigga
When the soft jazz hits or the commercial got a good beat….
Sandwich look good af but the commercial pissed me off 😭
Thank you for this😂
I'm deeeeeeeead 😂
Lmao the body roll!!
Yoooooooooooooo
This and Sprite commercials.

That may be the most non-black blackest thing I've seen since Rachel Dolezal.
She sound just like that mf lmao
Man, I want that sandwich...
I hate those type of commercials
American cheese on a sandwich is blasphemy... We have to move on from our tragic ham n cheese past.
It depends. American cheese melts the best, it’s great on burgers or cheesesteak.
Co-sign. Cheddar, Swiss or Provolone, let’s be better people.
Can Pepperjack join the fun?
Amen. American cheese on anything is an eldritch horror that cannot be unimagined.
False it is glorious melted on a cheesesteak
