    Posted: 18 Jul 2013 at 5:07pm

OK, my first beef with this burger spot is hearing Matt Frewer's voice.. albeit briefly.. coming out of this idiot's mouth. That passes quickly. I'm immediately thrown into a remote-throwing rage, and I catch myself doing a throat-squeeze gesture at my TV while the guy explains that the burgers at this Pub make jury duty a good thing. See, 1: Why can't he go to said pub any time he wants and get a burger? and B: If it's a matter of the burgers being bought for him while he's on jury duty, maybe he should take into consideration that he's going to be losing pay while he's in court, and getting paid 15 bucks a day. I dunno what y'all make, but 15 bucks a day is a serious pay cut. Way more of a pay cut than the cost of buying my own damn burger. Finally, when the fast food crew shows him their delicious burgers, and he asks if they had jury duty.

Yes, you dumb little POS, we all had jury duty.. every one of your friends that you hang out with.. at the same time. We found the defendant guilty of being retarded so quickly that we didn't have time to finish our lunches, so we brought them home. Oh.. the Wendy's bags and cups all over the table? We have no idea how those got here, we all thought they were yours.

I am so sick of her high-pitched, nasally and condescending "WENDY'S!" she spouts out in every commercial now it seems.

I'd like to know what her friends see in her - maybe Wendy is a decent person and conversationalist when she's not viciously downputting and degrading people who DARE like a fast food joint other than her favorite?

The fact they have yet another commercial with this fake redheaded snob aside, I can't even fathom a burger with a pretzel bun Dead

As far as the commercial itself ... yeah I'm sorry but there's no food on the planet that would make me look forward to having jury duty.   This guy is a friggin a top notch tool if I've ever seen one.

It took me a while to figure out which of these two scenarios the commercial was trying to get across:
1.) Does this jackwagon think that the Wendy's down the street from the courthouse is actually a super-awesome pub? or...
2.) Is Wendy's trying to say their new burgers are so good, you'd confuse them for the kind you'd get at a super-awesome pub?
My fiancee tells me that it's the second option....either way - it's not clear and this commercials is so stupid I can't stand it. I just want to punch this woman in the face and throw her in front of a bus. Angry

I've seen two versions of this commercial, the whole thing annoys me but the one which ends with Jury boy going "Can I plead insanity" makes me want to punch him and the woman.

Krissy is right with the implication suggestions, either way this makes me not want to eat at Wendys.

Agreed.  They are both horrible, but that one is way more infuriating.  The "red-headed" Wendy's b*tch gets more and more aggravating with every passing commercial.

I'm SO SICK of her smug f**king uncalled for condescending attitude.

I love pretzel buns, I love burgers, I absolutely hated this burger. I don't know what happened to Wendy's burgers or when, but they are just inedible now. The burger patty was so f**king bland and gross I didn't even want to finish it. Don't act like you serve comparable food to anything Wendy's.

Exactly, seems like when Dave Thomas left he took the quality with him.

I haven't tried the Wendy's version yet, but we make burgers.. and other sandwiches.. at home on pretzel buns, and they're delicious.

I actually haven't been to Wendy's in forever.. seems like back when they first changed the names of the burgers to dave's whatever whatevers. From the sound of things, I haven't been missing much.

Only thing I ever remember eating at Wendy's (The only time one has been close to us was in Benson, Arizona, and I think it closed down fairly soon after we moved in) was their chocolate shake or whatever it was....

Pretzel buns are delicious with a good burger, Wendy's version sucks.

Bland, almost boiled tasting beef, soggy toppings, fake cheese sauce, chewy bacon, and a not very pretzel-like bun. It was awful. Next time I'll go to the "little pub" that actually does have good burgers.

I don't know about elsewhere, but Wendy's here is nasty. It's better than McDonalds, but that's about it...certainly not on par with Whataburger, In-&-Out, Five Guys, or for that matter, Burger King, much less a place like Nicky D's.

YES I'd say that's a perfect description of how it tasted. It didn't taste like I was eating meat at all.

When is Wendy's going to stop making such stupid commercials? Here I thought the men with red wigs was bad. This is worse! Does she have to shout "Wendy's!" each time she speaks? Good grief, enough already! This makes me miss Dave Thomas, he knew how to advertise the food without resorting to the stupid route.Wendy's is a shell of it's former self. The foods fine (based on eating the junior bacon cheeseburger, the chicken nuggets, and chocolate frosty) but, damn, their commercials downright suck!

I'm so f*cking tired of this pseudo-Wendy b*tch.  The level of smarm coming out of her mouth increases exponentially in every commercial.

I see it now! I can't believe I missed it before, but the little red-haired girl is none other than Wendy the witch.. Caspar's friend. Notice how she somehow sh*t an extra burger for jury boy at the end of the commercial.

Yeah, Ole Dave is churning in his deep fryer over what his daughter.. the namesake of the entire entity.. is doing to the Wendy's name.

When she first came on I thought she was kind of hot. Now she's a smug know-it-all . And while we're at it, how does someone who appears to eat at Wendy's (or any fast food outlet) manage to stay so pencil thin?

At this point they should just go back to having the real Wendy Thomas do the majority of the commercials. I get they thought the younger Wendy's sex appeal would be good for the company - but it's not working anymore. The dumba-s young redhead has reached that event horizon where the desire to punch her in the face and boycott Wendy's is stronger than any "hotness" she once had.

I'm just now noticing the #PretzelLoveSongs hashtag at the end. My hate for the commercial just MAGNIFIED.
