It's a long-discontinued ad campaign, but Hardee's was running commercials

whose message was basically "eat at Hardee's because men are too stupid and lazy to cook for themselves." Insulting me isn't how you get my business.

My son does Choice Hotel commercials. I’ll let him know. **
Stork • 04/29/26 09:30 AM ET
Tell him his agency should make a pitch to Liberty Mutual
EDGEMAN • 04/29/26 10:05 AM ET
I’m always saying they need an insurance and new car company client. **
Stork • 04/29/26 10:37 AM ET
What auto manufacturer accounts should they go after?**
EDGEMAN • 04/29/26 10:48 AM ET
Any. Cause they run constantly. My brother -in-law who used to race Mazda
Stork • 04/29/26 11:15 AM ET
Mazda would be a great company to represent.

I wouldn't buy GEICO because of their ads
JoesterVT • 04/29/26 09:10 AM ET
Insurance is just marketing. Geico. Liberty Biberty. The General. Elephant
