      I’d like to point out that I’ve seen the same commercial featuring bad luck Brian over a dozen times today at work. Marketing people are still stuck in the early 2010s

        Marketing people in the early 2010s were still airing that one 90s Sears commercial about getting the AC fixed

        I just heard a Das Racist song in an Instacart ad. Earlier I caught a Brad Sucks song in a Lexus commercial.

        Once you turn old enough your worst generational peers will weaponize your youth against you. Soon you zoomers will be hearing 100 gecs in an ad for a lawnmower.

      Yeah, didn’t the “le epic bacon” thing happen in response to a huge slump in bacon sales? I could have sworn reading somewhere that the whole thing was basically an astroturfed social media marketing campaign by the pork industry. Or maybe I’m just being conspiratorial.

          The article shows the pork industry pushing restaurants to slap bacon on everything, not engaging in viral marketing. Le Epic Bacon being a organic consequence of the inorganic baconator.

            IIRC colbert did a massive ad for baconnaise on his show (it was disguised as a funny segment). so there was all kinds of push for the bacon shit.

    holy shit, I forgot about this. It was a stupid youtube channel that made grotesque “meals” that centered on bacon and whiskey. Imma go find the channel.

    Edit: it was called Epic Meal Time, and it’s still gross.

    2nd edit: oh, epic bacon had nothing to do with epic meal time, this post just sparked my memory of this dumb shit

    Ever since the Woke takeover of social media and the corrupt “defund the police” movement, people no longer see bacon as “epic”. Thanks, liberals!! 🤬
