Taco Bell’s Terrible Grammar

by Eick · January 29th, 2010 · 7 Comments

Taco Bell has unveiled a new offering which they are calling the  “NBA $5 Buck Box.”  Someone should explain to Taco Bell that the $ symbol represents the word “dollar” so they don’t need to also include the word “buck” in the name.   Think about it, the proper name of this product when said correctly [...]

by Eick · January 29th, 2010 · 1 Comment

Given the chatter and buzz about an upcoming anti-abortion Super Bowl ad starting Tim Tebow, Upright Citizens Brigade took it upon themselves to imagine what a commercial featuring the University of Florida star hawking Dorito’s might look like.

Fast Food Mascots Rage!

by Eick · January 13th, 2010 · 8 Comments

Rad Omen. Who are they again? I have no idea either. Their Twitter and MySpace accounts are totally inactive, but apparently they are some sort band/group/music collective.   Regardless of who the hell they are, their latest video, for their song “Rad Anthem”, directed by  Nicholaus Goossen (who was the director of “Grandma’s Boy” and [...]

by Eick · August 14th, 2009 · 3 Comments

On the Tonight Show, Conan puts his own spin on a classic Johnny Carson “falling domino’s” routine – by doing it with 40 Domino’s Pizza employees:

(Disclosure: As I’ve mentioned before, I do social media consulting for Domino’s, but this clip is too amusing for me not to post!)

Hostage Held in North Korea LOVES Sandwiches

by Eick · August 5th, 2009 · 7 Comments

This one totally slid under my radar until I saw it mentioned by a fellow food blogger, but this is right up So Good’s ally.  Epic Portions sets the stage:
So how terrible would this be: you’ve been taken prisoner in North Korea. You don’t know when you’re coming home – you could rot in jail [...]

by Eick · July 14th, 2009 · 3 Comments

The Onion skewers Taco Bell, with a terrific video about the company’s “Green Menu.”  Why is it Green? Because it “takes no ingredients from nature.”

2 Girls, 1 Sub: Quizno’s Marketing Department Disgusts and Baffles Me

by Eick · May 21st, 2009 · 40 Comments

Update #2: Since many people don’t seem to believe that Quiznos didn’t play a role, or at least didn’t have an understanding that the video was being made, I placed a call to Playboy to see if they could shed some light on Quiznos involvement (or lack of involvement) in regards to this video. Here [...]

Bacon Lube

by Eick · May 13th, 2009 · 51 Comments

I know, I know, more bacon products. I’m as sick of them as you are. Good lord though, how could I not mention this? I don’t have any snarky comments about people “porking” or your next session in the sack being “sizzling.”  I think the absurdity of this product speaks for itself. Insert your own [...]

Cadbury Eyebrows

by Eick · May 1st, 2009 · 4 Comments

Wow. This one totally slipped past me. I was reading the AdAge Viral Video chart for last week and noticed that a video from Cadbury called “Cadbury Eyebrows” was #3.  Apparently the video already has more than 3.3 million views on YouTube, but since it’s not airing on television here in the U.S. it’s probably [...]

Annoy Charlie Smith Inc.

by Eick · April 14th, 2009 · 2 Comments

As a humor/food blog, almost all my posts relate to food in some capacity. However, every once in a while there’s something funny and comedic I like to highlight with only a tenuous link to food. My buddy Seaton Smith, a comic here in Washington, DC, has just released the first episode of a great [...]

Jim Gaffigan on Bacon

by Eick · March 21st, 2009 · No Comments

Friends of mine know that I have a love/hate view of Jim Gaffigan.  Three years ago, I had to permanently retire a joke from my stand-up routine because during an “All New” stand-up special on Comedy Central he performed a joke whose wording and set-up was almost word-for-word the same as a joke I had [...]
