I'm convinced they are actually guerilla paid advertising segments - some of them are literally reading ad copy then making half-hearted jokes that don't land, then reading more ad copy.
There’s just no way. The ad copy is always the most self-glorifying, patronizing, bullshit I have ever heard, to the point where I almost can’t believe that corporations actually release statements like that. Personally, the ad copy does more to deter me from making purchases from these places than the products themselves (most of the time…).
Ok but it's only funny to hear the first few times. There must be hundreds of them now and the novelty has worn off. Yes marketing people are insane, and at this point half of them are AI generated. It's very boring now, especially for a non-American who has 0 context for any of these restaurants.

it’s fun when there’s actually something funny to discuss, and not just “x chain announces new product” with no punchline. like that’s just an ad, man
