In today’s world, where everything seems to be run by the beadles of wokeism, a beacon of hope shines anew from an unexpected source: Super Bowl ads. Yes, those famous commercial breaks redirect attention from the field’s drama back to the funniest, most memorable part of the year. And it looks like the winds of change are blowing as Carl’s Jr. dives back in with their iconic ads featuring bikini-clad models and burgers big enough to cure a small nation’s hunger pangs. It’s nostalgia with a sizzling twist, much like a double bacon cheeseburger on a toasted bun.
In this ad, the Carl’s Jr. folks went all out, presenting the “hangover burger,” masterfully assembled with an egg, double bacon, beef, hash rounds, cheese, and sauce that brings you back to your senses after celebrating a national holiday second only to Christmas — the Super Bowl Sunday. It’s free, they tease, but only after figuratively hand-holding customers through downloading their app and joining the rewards club. But hey, for those delicious layers of salty goodness, even that act of technological compliance seems like a fair trade.
It’s clear that this daring embrace of unapologetic marketing joy signals a broader cultural shift. Despite the relentless strobe lights of political correctness shining like a cop’s flashlight squinting into our favorite pastimes, there’s a movement to reclaim the throne of traditional American entertainment. It’s bold, brash, and back by popular demand. Viewers are ready to raise a burger in salute, celebrating the bubbly combination of irreverent humor and patties while watching their fingers glisten with bacon grease.
Some may sniff disapprovingly, warning about the message in promoting something so brazenly anti-woke. However, for many, this ad heralds a refreshing return to the time when commercials were fun, a little cheeky, and simply the cherry on top of a perfect Sunday. It’s not just about the skin or the burgers; it’s about shaking off those censorious shackles and letting out a sigh of relief.
So, here we are, embracing this new era where, according to this Super Bowl gem, American culture thrives once again unburdened by needless complexity. For those cheering alongside a chorus of carb-filled cheers, thank you for ensuring that not everything has to be taken so seriously. Now, with one hand on that Carl’s Jr. app and the other reaching for Monday morning’s free cure, it’s time to double down on what truly makes Super Bowl weekend so great: revelry, liberty, and a lot less tofu.
