Hardees Advertising Commercials

Sunday, July 10, 2005 by digitalpeer

Sex sells. Sex sells.

Mechanical bulls, Hugh Hefner, and Paris Hilton are only a few of the props used by Hardees to promote their thickbugers and advertise that men would starve without Hardees. Ironically, Hardees has even advertised it is the last place you would go for a burger. From the start, their commercials were obviously only geared toward young, sex ridden men. Now it's like they purposly don't want women in their restaurants. If you've seen the hot Camerson Richardson riding a bull while getting to second base with a burger you know what I'm talking about. Maybe the more recent and scandalous Paris Hilton showing how to wash herself and a car at the same time while eating a hamburger appeals to you more? What about a talking fetus? Maybe some provocative cheerleaders? Maybe a sloppy eater? No?

Well, how about a guy rubbing a cow? That's right. A guy getting physical with a cow. After seeing this commercial several times, I felt compelled to write this. The commercial consists of this guy dancing and rubbing a female cow to the song "Get Busy" and then following the commercial up with- "Milk Shakes." Oh my. There's so much left up to the imagination and I wonder if that's the viewer's fault or Hardees' fault. There's nothing funny or smart or interesting about these commercials. You sit there and wonder what the heck is going on and if you should call the police or throw your TV out the window.

Hardees advertisers want you to think like this:

Hot women eat at Hardees.
Hot women make out with Hardees hamburgers.
If I eat at Hardees, I'll make out with hot women.
I should eat at Hardees.

I actually think like this:

Hot women don't associate with cows.
Hardees customers grope and freak cows to music.
Hot women are repulsed by Hardees customers.
I should stay away from Hardees.

Here's a few of the commercials...

As a side note, here's a pretty hilarious parody of the Paris Hilton commercial by a recruiting company. You can guess they picked the wrong person for the job.

I will never eat at Hardees again. If you need naked women to sell hamburgers you know they are not good anyway

Comment Sunday, July 24, 2005 by Marlene Beasley

I will no longer buy at Hardees. Have some decency for our children. I also will no longer watch the station on which the Paris Hiolton commercial airs

Comment Wednesday, July 27, 2005 by anonymous

Get Real! The cow commercial is hilarious.
The Paris commercial is only a problem for uptight religious nuts who are afraid they can't say "no" for themselves

Comment Thursday, July 28, 2005 by anonymous

I hate the PARIS commercial, however I LOVE the COW, It makes me laugh every time I see it. You should have saved it for SUPERBOWL SUNDAY it would have blown the competition away.

Comment Friday, July 29, 2005 by anonymous

Hardees used to be a family friendly restaurant. These ads with Paris Hilton should be rated "x" and taken off the air

Comment Monday, August 8, 2005 by anonymous

I think the paris ad is soft porn. It is disqusting. It is respulsive. I am not eating at hardees again, not only because of their ads, but because their good is f****in nasty

Comment Tuesday, August 9, 2005 by anonymous

i love the commercial with the guy shaking the cow. it's hilarious.

The Cow Commercial is the funniest commercial I have ever seen! HAHAHAHAHA. Oh, and the Paris Hilton commercials are cool too.

Being a woman myself I find nothing offensive about the cow commercial. It is absolutely the funniest thing I have ever seen!!!

What is the guy's name that is shaking the cow.

Comment Thursday, September 8, 2005 by anonymous

I swear that looks like a fake udder on that cow. Did Hardee's hire a censor after the complaints about the Paris spot?

Comment Monday, September 26, 2005 by anonymous

I would not eat a hardees if all I had left was spam.

Comment Thursday, September 29, 2005 by anonymous

it is a fake udder

Comment Tuesday, October 4, 2005 by anonymous

Carl's owns Hardees.

Comment Thursday, October 6, 2005 by anonymous

If you're getting something dirty out of the commercial with the cow, I think that says more about you than it does the commercial.
He's shaking a cow. Cows produce milk.
Milk shake.
Get your mind out of the gutter.

Comment Saturday, October 15, 2005 by anonymous

we can talk all day long about how we hate the commercials or how much we love them--but it does not really matter. the company has narrowed down its target audiences, repositioned its markets and is selling the hell out of those over-priced chunks of meat.that taste better then the crap at the competitors. i say, men 18-34, who enjoys paris hilton and cows (those from ky, miss and tenn), keep laughing, conform and enjoy. those not in the target audience and do not eat at hardee's because its ads are funny: go f*** yourself and get over it..

Comment Saturday, October 15, 2005 by anonymous

make the font in the comment box black. i am 24-but it looks like i am a drunk third grader in the last posting. are the people with kids going to cry about that too?

Comment Sunday, October 16, 2005 by anonymous

I wanted to say something about the commercial with the loser guy who cant even make coffee. It shows how much guys depend on mothers and resturants. If they would worry more about being a man and growing up instead of juggling 4 GIRLFRIENDS AND NOT GETTING CAUGHT they might get a clue!!!!! See I caught my looser boyfriend trying to juggle me and his slut but I was too slick for that looser!!!! He can have his other women and HARDEES TOO!!!!! I think that commercial sucks!!!

Comment Wednesday, November 2, 2005 by by MFOSTER

This burger is the ultimate in meat relief. I've been drooling for a thick-burger and I've just satisfied my palate. This is what a burger should taste like-not that thin-I-can-see-through variety that's on the market now. POWER TO THE THICK !!!!!!!

Comment Wednesday, November 2, 2005 by by MFOSTER

Again this is The Burger you eat with a beer and watch the sun go down-POWER TO THE THICK !!!

I am absolutly appalled at the Hardee's
commercial that has a Chicken walking
around with a black strip and then you see
a chicken sandwich. How much does that want to make you throw up?

Comment Thursday, December 1, 2005 by anonymous

All those Hardees commercials with those
guys who have three day growth,sweaty,and looks like no shower in
a month amkes me not want to eat at Hardee's

Comment Thursday, December 1, 2005 by anonymous

HARDEES
Wake Up! Cut all the actors, cut all the acting, and only talk about your product.
Your commercial time will be much shorter and save you money in the long run. Makes sense dosem\n't it? It will also save a workout on my mute button
Any acting in commercials is useless, Think about it!!!!

Comment Sunday, December 4, 2005 by anonymous

Your commercials about "without us, some guys would starve" are the dumbest on TV. I will not eat at your restaurants as long as you continue to insult my intelligence. Do you honestly want people to believe your customers are as incompetent as your lame commercials indicate? Is your intire advertising group made up of angry single women?

Comment Tuesday, December 6, 2005 by aLICIa

I LIKE COWS!

Comment Saturday, December 10, 2005 by Cowsrule

Funnies thing ever. I saw the cow commercial two days before I actually went to a dairy farm. Made the trip that much better. Oh.. as for the "guy" that posted the angry comment about "without us, some guys would starve" Wouldn't that prove to women - the ones that are offended by the paris hilton commercial mind you - that they aren't trying to put down women? Their just trying to put up something interesting. So they used a commercial with a 80% naked girl and talk about guys can't make good food. WHY do conservative people have to take these things so seriously? Just laugh, or let it roll of your backs. It'll be allright ... just ..let go.

Where would one find the cow commercial on the net?

Comment Thursday, December 15, 2005 by anonymous

chill out already - the cow shaking commercial is hysterical and i run into the room every time i hear it even though i'm not the target audience - it won't make me eat at carl's jr any more than the paris hilton (which was soft porn - sort of) did but i will tell everyone about the funny cow shaking commercial!

Comment Monday, December 19, 2005 by anonymous

Does anyone know thw name of the guy in the cow commercial?

Comment Thursday, December 22, 2005 by anonymous

I want to find out any link to that cow shaking commercial if there is any.

Comment Wednesday, January 4, 2006 by m00c0ws

The cow commercial is hilarious!! I agree with an earlier post....cow makes milk + shaking = milkshake. As for the link for the cow commercial it's http://www.hardees.com/ontv/milkshake.

Comment Tuesday, February 7, 2006 by anonymous

not only are there commercials stupid you should try working for them. There pay really sucks and they don't believe in giving people raises after all the work you do for them. Please never apply at Hardees !!!!!!!!!

Comment Tuesday, February 28, 2006 by by Need it for School

does anyone know where i could download the "without us, some guy would starve" commericials?

Comment Monday, March 13, 2006 by anonymous

I believe that Hardees has taken the comercials to a whole new level. I am not sure who is making the ads but, as mother I feel that the FCC should monitor the commercials they are tasteless. Big Bucking Chicken? Come on now. The sex and vulgerness of these commercials have no place on television. This is just my oppion. Thanks for letting me vent!

Comment Saturday, March 18, 2006 by One Lost Customer

So they dont want the kids to come, they dont want old people , they do want the sex perverts ,and men to come see what the girls look like washing cars and riding bulls in a place you would eat in.Rocket science ad agency..try go in a McDonalds and see who is selling slim juicy burgers by the millions.
d normally

Comment Monday, March 20, 2006 by anonymous

Big Bucking Chicken is Burger King. Please at least be appalled at the right company.

Comment Tuesday, March 21, 2006 by anonymous

While i cannot imagine that the latest "brand" of burgerking commercials have not gone un-noticed, i wonder how many realize the truth behind the marketing scheme.

"big bucking chicken" or BIG FUCKING CHICKEN as the kids seem to be saying, and i imagine was the subtle intent, is an insult to intelligent thinking people and families that are trying to raise their children in a healthy environment; burgerking is attacking the core of our youth. They might as well be doing fart jokes as it would be less harmful.

I was giving the benefit of the doubt to the ad campaign until i realized that the majority of ad executives behind it are children themselves.
I wasn't sure of the depth until i heard the sequel "blow it out your bun, dad" or something of that nature. It is clear the direction they are pursuing and it is wrong and insulting.

This is another example of a lude and low quality approach to hit our children with subliminal innuendos that will not only solicit their cheap product but a less than cheap
mentality pushing for acceptance of pseudo vulgar slang that introduces less than healthy products in a ghetto like representation. Cowboys on chickens are simply the smoke and mirrors to pull it of in the hope that the adult population will miss it completely.

It is as insidious as the "you bet your sweet aspracreme" commercial. It may seem harmless but it is damaging to the base of what morality and this society should be structured.

Its borderline subliminal advertising appealing to the lowest common denominator.

The days of Ronald Mc Donald are gone and that's bad for everyone.

Comment Tuesday, March 21, 2006 by by fallen

does anyone have a link to where i can find the new big bucking chicken commercial to download? if so i would love to know what it is. please send me any info you might have. matt_miller22@hotmail.com

Comment Sunday, April 2, 2006 by lordski

I dont mind any commercial as long as its not played over and over and over for months. BUT, Paris Hilton is a skank and emulates the wrong kinda message to young girls who think being a skank like her is proper behavior. Trust me and every one else with morals that Paris Hilton is not a proper person (spoiled little bitch is more like it). The Cow commercial is nothing but good humor. Now on the other hand I myself think the commercial with the gal truck driver is gross. Do I need to see some gal eat with her fingers in a truck?..I mean that actually looks uncomfortable and messy and the background song is only appropriate for those who live in Alabama. The other commercial I have a problem with is the one with the painter guys in the truck making WAY WAY WAY too many irratating licking, paper crinkling, lip smacking sounds....and who wants to eat cheeze off paper?..not me, and what a headache on the audio on that one...ok thats all I'll vent...dont forget Paris Hilton is a skank hoe who would do better if she had a few hardships in her life so as to not continue to belittle people..she really is stupid. I'd have rather Hardee's would have used a no name model for that commercial.

Comment Monday, April 3, 2006 by anonymous

I just had to ad my comment on the "Big Bucking Chicken" Burger King commerical.
Only one word can describe it TASTELESS...just like Burger Kings food!

Comment Tuesday, April 4, 2006 by anonymous

The commercial about the guy with a steak hanging out of his mouth is not something that makes me want to buy Hardee's

Comment Tuesday, April 4, 2006 by anonymous

Does anybody have a link to the cow commercial? I think it is hilarious!

Comment Thursday, April 27, 2006 by iluvopossums@aim.com

I think the guy wit the steak hanging out of his mouth was funny as hell! I laughed long after the commercial was over and I want to find the I like steak song so I can put it on my web page!!!

Comment Friday, April 28, 2006 by anonymous

nothing wrong with hardees just because their commericals have shit that you don't like. ever eaten their food? if you have and don't like it, ok then. if you have and you do like it, don't stop going their because of a stupid commercial, get real, society has changed, is changing and will never be like it used to be, so get used to it.

Comment Tuesday, May 2, 2006 by by Killarney

I work at Hardee's. They are just ridiculous. Plus, most of the customers are the nastiest, sloppiest, rudest, messiest, most morbidly obese people I've ever seen.

Comment Monday, May 8, 2006 by anonymous

I find the Hardee's commercial very GROSS! It makes me want to turn the channel or eat somewhere else. The feeling about the commercials is mutial among alot of the people I come in contact with. I do still eat there on occasion but the mental pictures and the sounds of the commercials make the food not taste as well! Just show what ya got! (It's good people will eat there), but many may turn somewhere else like me due to the Gross sounds/actions in you commercials. p.s. bring back the steak biscuits like they used to taste like back in the 80's they just don't taste like to same.

Thanks

Comment Tuesday, May 9, 2006 by Rich

I've felt Hardees ad agency was whacko for some time. This latest one with the fellows talking with their mouths full and crap dripping out of it really make you hungry for a burger, doesn't it? I mute it as it makes me sick. The really sad thing is that it is apparently working for them or they wouldn't keep running these obnoxious ads.

Comment Friday, May 12, 2006 by anonymous

Your commercials are the rudest, crudest commercials on television. You are sending a message to children that it is okay to talk with you mouth full, eat salad with your hands, and many other disgusting and ill mannered things. I shall never eat at your place again, until your commercials are cleaned up!

Comment Tuesday, May 30, 2006 by anonymous

What are you thinking? Gross, rude men with food dangling out of their mouths. Speaking gutteral grunts that have to be written to be understood. I get disgusted every time I see or hear a Hardees commercial. I used to love Hardees. I used to think it was worth the wait for a "thick" burger. Now I can not and will not listen I change the channel. Don't even think I would consider pulling in your lot. Clean it up Hardee's. Your guest have more class than you think. I have been insulted for the last time.

Comment Tuesday, June 13, 2006 by anonymous

Do any of the guys shave. Apparently they want the nasty, dirty looking customers cause all of the actors look that way. Unclean. I mute all hardees commercials. They suck

Comment Tuesday, June 13, 2006 by anonymous

the guys with their mouth full trying to talk is a disgrace. kids do not have any manners. and this commercial is no help. please take this commercial off. no one wants to see these rude guys. it is sicking.

Comment Thursday, June 22, 2006 by anonymous

If you like trashy people, you'll loce hardees commercials. I prefer avoiding both.

I think the Hardee's commercials are disgusting and crude. They don't set a good example for good manners. They stink!! Shame on Hardees.

Comment Sunday, July 9, 2006 by anonymous

Hardees is like Kmart. It sucks and im not sure how it stays in business. Im so sick of the Philly cheese steak commercial with the retarded taxi drivers talking dumb. I will never ever eat at hardees again. ever.

Comment Sunday, July 23, 2006 by anonymous

lol dude you guys are like freaking over a commercial "I WILL NEVER EAT AT THIS PLACE AGAIN BECAUSE THE ACTORS THEY HIRE TO SEEM SLOPPY ARE DOING THEIR JOBS CORRECTLY" get over it but man that cow commercial is funny it makes me want to smack a cow anyways those guys with the meat hanging out of their mouths are cabbies thats how they talk boston new york idk

Comment Friday, August 4, 2006 by anonymous

I love the cowboy shaking the cow commercial, he is HOT. A lot of people are asking what is his name? Someone said John Bland but I'm not sure of that. Here is the commercial to see. http://www.hardees.com/ontv/milkshake. SO WHAT IS HIS NAME?????

Comment Friday, August 4, 2006 by A E Burnette

I'm just wondering if you have ever concidered making a commercial that is semi intelligent and not insulting to some people

Comment Monday, August 7, 2006 by anonymous

The guys with there months full and trying to talk is disgusting. Please take this commercial off. It makes me sick. We always like to eat at Hardees but need to get good commercials.

Comment Tuesday, August 15, 2006 by T. West

I stopped eatting at Hardees a long time ago. Not because of the commercials. The food is never good. Although I think the commercials with the guys being lame or degrading to women and the poor attempt to promote perversion is a low way to promote food. Someone mentioned "Ghetto like". I agree! The world doesn't have to stay the same but it can still have respect for human kind. Now... on the other hand... I love the cow commercials! I think it's on the edge of racy but I can put that out of my head and make it more funny by thinking about what the cows could possibly be wondering what is going on!

Comment Tuesday, August 22, 2006 by Mason

I love the cowshake commercial its innovative, original, funny n e one that;s sickened must be a vegan or something. How can you not think its funny and the guy in it is hot as HELL too! This make me want to go to Hardees

Comment Friday, September 8, 2006 by NEVERATHARDEES

I have had several people tell me that Hardees food is actually pretty good. But I have vowed never to eat there. It is my own personal way to protest their commericals, which seem to be designed to be unappetizing and discusting. I don't understand why a restaurant would make me sick to my stomach in most of their commercials. Somone should tell them that watching people (hot or not) with food dripping out of their mouths and talking with their mouth full, etc. does not make me want to eat there!!

Comment Sunday, October 1, 2006 by by anonymous

I love Thickburgers but I hate the ads for them! Why has Hardees stooped to a new low to promote bad manners and rude, crude conduct? America needs role models to help improve society, not role models that take one back to caveman days where manners hadn't even been thought of! SHAME ON HARDEES!!!!!!!

Comment Monday, December 4, 2006 by anonymous

I hate the newest ad for the chili cheese fries, (not the one with the guy on the couch) but the one where there is a guy ANNOYINGLY smacking off screen and reaching for napkins. That is one of the MOST annoying thing that a person could do, smack like a stupid ass imbicile.

Comment Wednesday, December 6, 2006 by anonymous

I NEVER, NEVER eat at Hardee's! The commercials are gross, repulsive, and nasty. I cringe every time one appears on TV. The PR people who handle advertising for Hardee's are absolutely the worst!

Comment Thursday, December 21, 2006 by anonymous

This article is freking retarded, I don't know what your problem with hardees is but last time I checked they had the biggest and best hamburgers ever, and what about the commercials?? What are you people complaining about your children's well being when they are home watching porn??? I love hardees and their commercials and all you damn retards need to shut up

Comment Sunday, December 24, 2006 by jim

to the anonymous writer of Dec. 21. i think you are the one who is retarded. how can anyone sit there and watch some guy SLOP and smack a nasty drippy burger on t.v. unless they are PIGS also. hardees started going down hill years ago and these comercials don't help revive them at all. please take the gross things off the air.

Comment Thursday, February 1, 2007 by by Elizabeth

i just want to no the name of that guy in the blue from the commercial because ive fallen in love ha

Comment Tuesday, February 6, 2007 by anonymous

i work at hardees and im trying to find another job. hardees is a horrible place to work. they make the casheirs wait on the customers in the dinning room and refil their drinks and throw away their trash, and expect no tips!!! if someone leaves a tip you are supposed to put it in your register and give it to hardees. they dont give you benifits that are worth a crap, insurance is too high! they have a stupid hotline that rude customers who like to be picky can call and complain, and they sure as hell dont believe the employee over the customer, and some people who know about the hotline call it repeatedly and the employees get in trouble. i also hate working there because i hate permoting thier food. i read in one of their manuals that they are geared towards men 18-38 and they call this target group the "hungy man" they dont do good business because they are actually against serving healthy food. they dont have any information on the food about the nutrition but on their website you can see that the monster burget has 1300 calories and 105 grams of fat. RIDICULOUS! i am contributing to obesity just by being a cashier. i think thier food is horrible too! tastes bad, no variety, but the same people come to hardees everyday sometimes more then once a day! they are addicted and i hate hardees.

Comment Sunday, March 11, 2007 by anonymous

The commercials being aired by Hardee's is nothing but soft porn. I will not spend a dime of my money at any of their establishments. In this case, sex does not sell

Comment Monday, April 23, 2007 by by anonymous

HARDEES SPEAKS FOR ITSELF .GIVE COUPONS EVEN GIVE FREE FOOD
AT TIMES.BUT DONT STUP TO PORN LIKE COMMERICALS .HARDEES
WERE HERE AND DOING WHAT WE DO BEST FOR YOU.

Comment Friday, May 18, 2007 by anonymous

I don't appreciate seeing a bunch of wiggleling half naked women and men at a night club to advertise a breakfast club sandwich! Do we wander why our children no longer respect anything or anyone! The future of our country and world is in the hands of the adults that are suppose to be the exanple for our children! Dear God have mercy and help us. I won't eat at Hardee's anymore.

Comment Sunday, May 27, 2007 by anonymous

I just saw the latest commercial with the girl crawling around with a burger in her hand. What exactly was she suppose to be doing. My family and I were watching the baseball game and this was not a suitable commercial for children to see. Well, you have certainly succeeded in one thing -- we will no longer go to Hardee's. McDonald's has our vote.

Comment Monday, May 28, 2007 by anonymous

If I could figure out how to contact Hardee's, I'd tell them how bad their commercials are. I won't spend a f'ing dime there, and there's one a quarter mile from my house. BTW, I'm NOT a conservative--quite the contrary. I find these commercials offensive to women, and any men who's head isn't on the end of their p----!

Comment Wednesday, May 30, 2007 by anonymous

I will no longer buy at Hardees. Have some decency for our children. I also will no longer watch the station on which the Paris Hiolton commercial airs .I will never eat at Hardees again. If you need naked women to sell hamburgers you know they are not good anyway

Comment Wednesday, May 30, 2007 by anonymous

IF MEN GET ARROUSED OVER A HAMBURGER WELL YOU NEED HELP.THERE ARE TOO MANY OTHER RESTURANTS THAT SHOWS RESPECT TO WOMEN AND CHILDREN.I WILL NEVER EAT THERE AGAIN.WOMEN SHOULD SUE THESE PEOPLE

Comment Sunday, June 3, 2007 by anonymous

I, don't like Hardee's food and I do not go there. Now if Hardee's would just get their most recent commercial off the television, I won't have to switch channels to watch something else while it is running. Guess they have to try everything to get more customers. I don't think this one will work.

Comment Sunday, June 3, 2007 by by RAS

Not sure why Hardees has to resort to such terrible commercials but as long as they do I will switch channels and spend any money at a place I used to love.

Comment Sunday, June 3, 2007 by L. Smith

I don't eat at Hardee's because I don't like their food nor their service in general. Now if they would just get their latest ad off the television, I wouldn't have to change channels when it comes on. Guess they think there isn't enough sex already on TV.

Comment Sunday, June 3, 2007 by anonymous

Hardee's commercials are DISQUESTING!!! ...and they are helping to make this world a "sick" place to live, and our kids are paying the price for their stupity,,,My family won't be eating there anymore, and hopefully others will wake-up and take a stand.,and ,,,SOON...HARDEE"S WILL BE GONG OUT OF BUSINESS!!

Comment Monday, June 4, 2007 by S.R.

I vowed not to eat at Hardee's again when they chose to use Paris Hilton in the commecial. I really did love the breakfast.It gives me great pleasure to sit across the street at our local Sonic and Watch NO cars enter Hardee's. If the content of the commercials is to drum up business.........YOU ARE FAILING!!! I CHALLENGE YOU TO MAKE A COMMERCIAL I AM NOT ASHAMED FOR MY GRANDKIDS TO WATCH.

Comment Monday, June 4, 2007 by anonymous

I think the Paris Hilton commercial is disgusting and I will no longer eat at Hardees. If you need to show something like that to get customers it must mean your burgers suck. Other restraunts don't have to have gross commercials for advertising why do yall. Why not leave the commercials like the cow commercial. It might get more people interested than what yall are showing. I will never watch another one of your commercials or do any business with Hardees anymore. I will encourage my friends and family to do the same thing. MAY GOD BLESS YALL AND YOUR STUPID COMMERCIALS.

Comment Monday, June 4, 2007 by A.L. Crossville,Tn.

We are a large group of Adults who gather at our local Hardees at least once a week to enjoy a "BURGER"or whatever & good CLEAN fellowship. The workers & manager are friendly & we all look forward to our time at Hardees. BUT.........HOW CAN WE ASSOCIATE OURSELVES WITH A "HUGE" Corporation who must lower their standards to use TRASH commercials. Monkey's are cute......maybe you could use "THEIR" ad agency or maybe we'll just move our adventures in eating!!!!!!!!!

Comment Tuesday, June 5, 2007 by by anonymous

The Haardees commercial with the partially clad female writhing around with a burger in her hand and making pornographic movements is so leud and lacivious that the company shoul be prosecuted for displaying internet pornography!!

Comment Thursday, June 7, 2007 by T Bauer; S Bauer

Man,you guys got it right; I'll not go back to another hardees untill someone in charge takes these ads off the air and apologise to the many faithful in Rebird Nation who get a tast(YUCK) of these commercials.I have contacted the Cardinals in this matter and they really can;t do anythig about it.SO LET'S HEAR IT REDBIRD NATION LET YOUR LOCAL HARDEES KNOW YOU;LL BE BACK WHEN THEY GET BIRD DROPPINGS OFF THE ADS.

I'm disappointed that a "family" fast food chain has turned into something skanky, repulsive and shameful in their advertising. We used to take our kids there to eat, but since the latest commercial "patty melts for you" we have decided for the first time to boycott Hardees. This is our first time ever refusing to eat anywhere due to advertising. It's pretty bad when you have to change the channel when an unappropriate commercial comes on in front of our children...just for a hamburger.

I hate the Paris Hilton commercial !!!!!! Please take it off the air. that is nothing but porn. What in the world has happend to this country to allow porn on tv.

Comment Tuesday, June 12, 2007 by Marsha

I find the Hardees commercial disgusting. It makes you want to throw your TV in the trash.

Comment Tuesday, June 12, 2007 by Tom L

These type of commercials are disgusting including the new Patty Melts one.

Comment Wednesday, June 13, 2007 by Debra Heaton

I have reviewed the previous complaints and in my opinion they have had no sucess in convincing Hardees to change their commercials. I also think the Hardees commercials are disgusting. I was hoping my input would help put a stop to these commercials. Obviously they don't care that my family, my church or neighbors will ever eat at Hardees again. Do they even see these complaints?

Oh boy what is our world coming to. A family resturant now advertising there burgers through a sex promotion. That is the lowest of lows. I can't believe you would allow such a decision. Lord help people like you. This is one of the many problems in our world and I now consider your business a contributor of such evil choices for a family based business. I will not visit any of your resturants anymore. I WAS DISGUSTED TO SEE SUCH A THING. Thank you for allowing me to let you know how I feel. Gayle Cuff

I have six grandchildren and they love to go to Hardees, but after the filthy ads that have been on lately, we are switching to McDonalds and Arbys. I will not eat at Hardees again until they once again realize it is a FAMILY place. You would think they sold beer and it was a nightclub after seeing theirs ads. We even switch chanels when the ads come on. Let's clean up your act. I work at a primary school and our
parents are not pleased with all this junk either.

I dont consider myself a prude! The hardees commerical is absolutley disgusting! I was watching he St. Louis Cardinals baseball game when this commercial came on and I was in shock! It was 7:00 p.m. not 2:00 am. If they want to play commericals like that they need to be on movie channels late at night! I will never eat at Hardees again!

Comment Monday, June 18, 2007 by Nancy Carter

There is enough smutt on tv without having commericals full of it.
I think it is a crying shame to show this filth for children to watch
this is not helping your business, by the other comments I've read, it is only hurting you business.
If you are running out of ideas to advertise your business, go back to the old days ads.

Comment Tuesday, June 19, 2007 by LLC

I am thoroghly discussed with the deplorable, pornagraphic smut that is being used to promote the Hardees resturants. "Patty Melt" is the most disgusting of all thus far. Hardees should be ashamed! I can't stand these commercials, and will turn them off completely. If a company has to become so perverse just to sell a hamburger, they are not worth having anyway. I can only imagine what the people are like who promote such styles of advertising. It makes Hardees look really bad! Any decent human being would be turned off, by such whorish, sleezy, and tasteless commercials. I am not going to support such immoral business practises, and I will encourage my friends to boycott Hardees as well! You have lost this customer forever!! Clean up your act Hardees!

Comment Wednesday, June 20, 2007 by The Hood Family

These Commercials are vulgar and not acceptable for families. Our family is
not eating at this place until the ads are cleaned up!

Comment Thursday, June 21, 2007 by SKIPPER FAMILY

I CALLED THE CORPORATE OFFICE AND OUR LOCAL HARDEES AND TOLD THEM OUR FAMILY WILL NO LONGER BE EATING AT HARDEES UNTIL THEY CLEAN UP THEIR ACT. WE LOVE HARDEES BREAKFAST AND THEIR BURGERS BUT ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!

Comment Friday, June 22, 2007 by by Robert L. Scott

We are sick and tired of your commercials. If your target group is males from 18 to 34 I hope you get them all because you have lost us. We are in our early 60's, but we have the money to eat where we want and it won't be Hardee's!

Comment Monday, June 25, 2007 by anonymous

Just so you know, we are a family of 7 and enjoy eating out, especially at fast food places. However, since you've turned to placing immoral commercials on television (where many children can see them) to advertise your restaurant we have not eaten there. We will never give a cent to Hardee's as long as you continue this "ripping apart the families" type of commercials! I'd hate to be in your shoes when you meet your maker! Your commercials have been a topic of discussion in many bible study, sunday school groups among adults and all involved in those groups are no longer eating at Hardee's. Shame on You!

Comment Thursday, June 28, 2007 by anonymous

The new Hardee's ad (patty melt thickburger with the woman in the white tee shirt) is inapproriate and annoying. If they are unable to initiate a clever ad campaign, it's a sign of a company with poor taste and inadequate management.

Comment Tuesday, July 3, 2007 by anonymous

Haven't you people ever considered that the commercials are trying to be silly, or amusing. And to the 18 to 34 demographic, they are funny. I laugh hysterically when I see a guy shaking a cow. It's just silly, and that's why I like it. So why should I care if Paris f**king Hilton is in the a Hardees/Carls Jr commercial. It's not about Paris Hilton, or the fact that a lot of guys think she's hot, so they'll go to Hardees. I think that part of the ad is irrelevant. What is funny about the commercial, is that a "Hot" girl is getting dirty with a burger, which is outlandish and silly. And it's that humor that was intended in those commercials. You folks should be more concerned about the advertisements for body spray products like Tag and Axe bodysprays. Their commercials are blatantly saying, "buy our product and women will like you" and it's not that they are being serious about it. They know that their product won't get you women, but you should realize that from how outlandish the situations in the commericals are. Women would never tackle you in hordes if you wore Tag bodyspray, but they make like your smell better. If you can't realize that it's a stinkin joke, then stop watching TV, because silliness like this is only going to become more prominent. Deal with it or turn the TV off.

Comment Thursday, July 12, 2007 by once an employee

I worked there and will not eat there ever again. It indeed is a bad corporation...and horrible work environment. They will rub your name through the dirt, and get on file whatever they can. They expect you to be treated horrible and take it from the customers, and other employees there with grace, and poise.Well, I did to the best of my abilities and quit. It's true, I've seen these commercials...and I do see the men they target at the Hardees. As a older man, on this site posted they want the older crowd also but hopeful they won't eat there even though they have a senior drink for 41 cents including tax. That's not worth it. Go somewhere healthier...look at the nutritional chart. But anyway, don't won't to throw stones. But I applaud that people are looking at this company from an ethical standpoint. Using sex to sell a burger!! TRUE...the men eyeball the women in there like meat.

Comment Saturday, July 14, 2007 by anonymous

I used to eat at Hardees, not any more.. I used to buy burgers there, and now they seem to be selling sex.........not burgers, I'm not interested. The ad is too sexually graphic, which makes their selling burgers look disgusting. You won't be getting anymore of my business. Where is the truth in advertising?

Comment Thursday, July 19, 2007 by anonymous

The TV is only a part of the Hardee's filth problem. If you go to the web site the pornographic ad is in your face on every part of the site. Our childre are forbidden to go to their web site and we change channels when they come on the TV. Let's really come together and boycott these people. Money talks better than anything else. By the way, breakfast is better, cheaper and the service is superior to Hardee's at our local mcdonald's!

Comment Thursday, August 2, 2007 by CJ

I whole heartedly agree with the disgust of these commercials. I own a hair salon which employs 25 stylists and a VERY large group of consumers which I will in turn use to picket against Hardee's. I am not a prude. However, I feel you can be funny and get the attention of your consumer's wilthout offending a very large portion of the viewing public. I feel it a lack of intellect and quality of your product by using such sleezy tactics to sell.

Comment Thursday, August 9, 2007 by anonymous

In an attempt to at least add some sanity to this conversation, I really hope all you old farts realize that this web iste is NOT affiliated with Hardee's in any way. How stupid do you have to be to come on to this random web site and post a comment and think it is being read by anyone at Hardee's? If you are too stupid to figure out how to complain then your complaint isn'[t worth listening to.

As for the Hardee's commercials I think they are great. Some are better then others. Maybe if some of you tried raising your kids YOURSELF, and STOP letting the television raise your kids, you wouldn't have to get your undies in a bind. It's not the job of Hardee's to raise your kids. If you are offended by what you see on TV then quit watching TV so those of us who aren't offended can enjoy it.

p.s.--never start a sentence with "I am not a prude." WHat you are really saying is that you are one. Just because you don't think you are doesn't mean you aren't.

Comment Thursday, August 9, 2007 by by Ellen Hall

I think your commercials are the most stupid commercials I have ever seen. They are degrading to women beyond belief. The ones on the radio make me sick. I will never buy anything at Hardees and neither will anyone in my workplace. You all should think twice before submitting one of these stupid commercials.

Comment Monday, September 3, 2007 by Daniel Cain

I think we should all boycott Hardees resaurants because of their sexual erotic commercials and never do business with them. I know me and my family will not eat their again.

Comment Sunday, September 9, 2007 by Jeanne

That cow one is HELARIOUS!!!

Comment Tuesday, September 11, 2007 by marcus

Sorry hardees---no more of your burgers for me--you guys are nuts.

Comment Tuesday, September 11, 2007 by marcus

Hey, The girl fisting her mouth is just like good porno. I'm not sure I know what it has to do with burgers-I guess I'll just have to ask one of your daughters, or wives. I'm sure they would know all about it. Thanks

Comment Friday, September 14, 2007 by Gail

I used to eat at Hardees. Not any more, after those commercials.

Comment Friday, September 14, 2007 by Casteel

It wont be long before the women in this country will dress like the women in the
arab countries. Saying you wont eat at Hardees again because of a commercial is
like saying you wont watch the Superbowl again because a player made a gesture
you didn't like. Get real! The vast majority of you people that are doing most of the commercial complaining are those that are just plain ugly and need a life.

Comment Friday, September 14, 2007 by Goody Twoshoes

Oh Great! Now I can't go to Hardees, Can't buy levi jeans, Can't buy a ford, Can't
look at a Sears catalog, Can't go to Hooters, Can't watch the Superbowl, Can't watch
wrestling...ETC ETC ETC.

Comment Friday, September 14, 2007 by by anonymous

It doesn't seem to mention the most recently pulled commercial, which uses a high school teacher, her students and her class room. That's what I really want t comment on. I agree that most of Hardee's commercials are offensive, but the one with Paris Hilton isn't too bad. And there are ways in which to imporove the class room commercial. But Hardees persistently come up with offensive commercials. That is one of the reasons, I stopped going to Carlls Jr, a long time ago.

Comment Saturday, September 15, 2007 by anonymous

Get over it. Hardees knows what young men want to see and they are using it. Besides their burgers are also good tasting.

Comment Tuesday, September 18, 2007 by Shannon

Hardee's advertising department is absolutely absurd. I work for the place and its true, we have more nasty, overweight, asshole men come in than anything else. I hate working there, they spend so much $ on getting Paris Hilton to do a commercial that I can't even get a 20 cent once yearly raise on time after FIVE years of service. Fuck it, I'll be out of college soon

Comment Tuesday, October 2, 2007 by Jerry

I agree completely. I loath Hardee's commercials with a deep passion. I say we all boycott Hardee's as long as they make these irritating commercials.

Comment Wednesday, November 14, 2007 by anonymous

Please take that disgusting commercial with the two goons smacking like a couple of hogs where one of them says , " Are you going to eat the cheese paper." Its defintely doesn't make me want to eat at Hardees. These two guys have the manners of a HOG, Its gross and unbearable to watch, take it off the air!

Comment Wednesday, December 5, 2007 by Randy

wow, most of you nutbags need to shut off the fucking tv and go have a thickburger. Beleive me it will be a lot more satisfying than sitting on the internet whining like a gagle of schoolyard bitches about some comercials. Great, the Hardees commercials offend you, well, people like you who who bitch and moan about everything and over use the word "appauled" like its going out of style offend me. So piss off you church house frigid bitches!

Comment Sunday, December 23, 2007 by pIckle_bucket

I used to work at a hardees in shit-hole Iowa, And after that experience, all I can say is: Friends don't let friends work at hardee's. (Or eat the place as well)
Seriously beware of the food if you go to ANY of them 30 minutes before closing time. They got teenagers working there that rightfuly hate the place, Now imagine how much they care about handling your food.
More so if you order some food that makes them re-clean some equipment they cleaned too far ahead of time, to be used to make your food.
As for their commercials: About as cheap and cheezy as the wages your earn working in that disposable job.

Comment Saturday, January 26, 2008 by anonymous

my family and i will not ever eat at hardees again...the commercials not only suck....
but the time i did go it was cold and rained the night before and i got out of my truck.and slipped on black ice and down on my butt i went..i have been 5 years battling them to pay hospital bills, i was out of work and almost homeless..but did they care , nope so this has been going on 5 years and nothing..so they dont give a shit about there customers..they will take your money and laugh all the way to the bank....i will continue to fight untill they make it right.....so think twice before you eat there because the food will make you fat, and cause you a heartattack, and heaven forbid you fall because they will deny everything....but they will take your money.....i have lost 5 almost 6 years of my life by stoping by for a morning sandwich......and they keep matching on.....never will i step a foot near there business.......and if you are smart you wouldn't either.......

Comment Monday, February 11, 2008 by by Kellyryan61

I think it is funny that everyone here is arguing about a commercial....if it offends you then you need to get a sense of humor....and to who ever says it is about conformity has the thought that people might like there food crossed your mind.....and to the guy that says a commercial insulted your intelligence the commercial didn't insult crap because you are a idiot for even taking a commercial meant to be funny as a insult.....my advice to all of you is to clean the sand out of your vagina's. you might not like there food others do....you might not like there commercials.....others do. I swear you people complain almost as much as Christians.... lol....i look forward to your hate mail

Comment Saturday, March 8, 2008 by Dano

Can anyone tell me how I can get the sound byte of the Hardee's radio ad of the Big country breakfast? It's the one where the country gentlemen and the hispanic guy is in. It's ends with the hispanic guys saying, Okay Biquit, you can call me Jose.
I live in the south and it runs on a local radio station in Ft. Smith Arkansas. very funny ad I would really like to have.

Comment Thursday, June 19, 2008 by anonymous

i do'nt mind the sexism, i hate watching and listening to people eat those burgers, it's disgusting.
