Taco Bell is top 3 on my list of fast food . Never had their breakfast though. But i prefer them to Del Taco and Jack in the Box, and it's not even close.
Kinda matters which one you go to (like alot of franchises).
I had Arby's one time....NEVER AGAIN.

Buy Taco Bell's famous coffee to go along with your wrap and you too can be both a breakfast defector and defecator. |

| No lie, whenever my stomach is feeling weird and I just wanna "re-boot" it, I'll load up on taco bell and it leaves me feeling like a new man. |

James Harden needs to fire his publicity team. I can't even imagine how that meeting went.
"Alright guys, James is on the cusp of an MVP. The biggest reason people don't want to vote for him is the perception that he's a lazy player because he doesn't play defense and gets his points from the free throw line. What can we do to change that?"
"Team with up Taco Bell?"

I've seen it a couple times, and I have trouble deciphering what he even says.

They probably had to do so many takes that he was food-comaing on crunch wraps. |

| It doesn't even make (bleep) sense anymore, apparently that's not a requirement for commercials anymore. |

The weirdest commercial currently running is the strange Buick Ad where the couple is spying on their neighbors with binoculars and the wife says "lucky her" about the neighbors wife when seeing the neighbor husband.

| Love Taco Bell(their breakfast looks horrible though). Hate their stupid commercials. They're always lame. From that dumb Chihuahua they had back in the day to their more recent commercials. |

She didnt say that to make a statement, or because it was cool.mshe said that because she liked him. |

That Taco Bell commercial sucks and so does the Apartments.com one with Jeff Goldblum.
Regarding that Buick ad, why is it so strange that the wife says "lucky her"? I mean, it's a little aloof but, worthy of being the weirdest commercial as a result? I guess I don't see why it is THAT weird. |

What commercial I hate, and I'm not sure if it's still running, is that Sprint Framily thing. "You're my frather, I'm your fron, this is our framily!" OMG SHUT UP!

| The dumbest car commercial is that one with the idiot dad and son dangerously trying to race a school bus to school...and losing. |

You say it's "got to be one of the worst ad campaigns ever" but hasn't it done what commercials are supposed to do, bring attention to a product? It chose a high profile personality, James Harden, to lead the charge.
I think it's contrived brilliance. I think people who make commercials do it with a plan to target.

Related to that, the Sprint ad campaign that says you can "cut your bill in half" if you switch to Sprint. So misleading! It's basically impossible, and the CEO of Sprint even admitted it when he was asked about it. But they kept running it week after week.

I don't often agree with you buddy, but I do agree with you here. There is a lot more strategy, discussion and thought that occurs long before the actual execution of an ad campaign (TV and otherwise). This is especially true for the big brands out there. |

Not sure why you find that "weird". It was a pretty funny joke for a commercial. It's typically the dude's scoping on the hot chick. It was a clever to turn the tables on that kind of stereotype and let the woman gawk for once. |
