I really like it when the creepy animated Wendy blushes from eating spicy food.

Re: this wendy's "meatatarian" commercial

Gross. I haven't seen these. But how about the Egg Beaters commercial where the chickens steal all the Egg Beaters from the grocery store because they want people to eat their actual eggs?

Re: this wendy's "meatatarian" commercial

I hate that commercial so much. If he were really a meatatarian, he shouldn't be eating that cheese, bread, fries or soda.

meatatarian's must not be as smart because they're actually a word for meat-eaters already: omnivores.

Re: this wendy's "meatatarian" commercial

They have been showing this commercial every 5 minutes it seems. It gets more annoying each time. Plus if there are other people in the room when it comes on, there is this awkward pause where they turn to look at me to see if I'm offended or something.

Re: this wendy's "meatatarian" commercial

and it is a shame, with their non-meat fries, real actual salads, and baked potato options.  they were my favorite fast food joint after taco bell.  oh well, it is kind of funny, can we filter omni to meatatarian for a while?


it's friends with a lot of vegans, occasionally eats at a vegan restaurant without complaint, and it respects the vegan lifestyle, but it's not vegan itself because that's too extreme. -fee

Also, have you heard the choir jingle one with the BEEEEF and bacon... That one gets on my nerves.

I cringed but ignored it so my roomie wouldn't ask me about it.   If I was at 'home' I would have definitely made some loud, obnoxious noise.

I hate that commercial so much. If he were really a meatatarian, he shouldn't be eating that cheese, bread, fries or soda.
THAT WAS MY FIRST THOUGHT TOO. he says he eats nothing but meat, then he takes a bite of a sandwich that includes bread and cheese.

also, i think the hillshire farms GO MEAT commercials are kind of funny =/

Re: this wendy's "meatatarian" commercial

I hate the one where the cow bursts in on the man eating the chicken sandwich and is ... angry? that the man isn't eating cow?

Re: this wendy's "meatatarian" commercial

I've seen this commercial so many times today. It's disgusting and offensive.

I hate when the guy says something like "It's a personal decision. You gotta commit to it" ... as if he's mocking vegetarians/vegans.

I forking hate that one. Why the hell would the cow be mad that his life has just been spared because the guy is now eating a chicken?

There's no "as if" about it. It's so forking old and tired. Out of commercial ideas? A- Pick on vegetarians! B- Imply all men who are vegetarians are effeminate! C-Talk about how gross vegetarian food is and how vegetarians secretly want to eat your products

Re: this wendy's "meatatarian" commercial

And about how your food is so tasty that animals are happy to die for it.  Fork the AR people, really all domestic "food" animals want is to fulfill the apex of tastiness.  Its their destiny.  Like being on American Idol is for us.

uh-oh, meatatarian police! 'is there vegetable stock in this meat soup?' 'that's not a tomato slice in that sandwich is it?' 'you're not eating bread are you?!' I think if we have to have the vegan police, this is the least meatatarians should suffer. 

I am really glad we don't have this advert in the UK. oh my gosh. Why is it seen as okay to make fun of a minority just because they have arrived at their ethical decision through their own intellect rather than religion/tradition? bleh. (I know some people are vegetarian/vegan for religious reasons, but many veg*ns have other reasons, especially in the west!)

Re: this wendy's "meatatarian" commercial

Hi all, I'm new here. I was so annoyed by this commercial - I did a Google search to see if I was alone on this - that's how I landed on this forum! Glad to know I'm not the only one who finds it irritating. When I was commenting on this commercial, my daughter actually pointed out - if that chap only eats meat, how come he was eating that bun...
BTW, this looks like a fun place - may be I should stop by regularly... smile
