Carl’s Jr. and Hardee’s 10 Best TV Commercials

You know we effs with JB Smoove (in fact, dude’s the star of our latest Soundboard), and in addition to his continuing hilarious work on Curb Your Enthusiasm, we were psyched to see that West Coast fast food chain Carl’s Jr. has hired JB as the spokesman in their new ad campaign.

Truth is though, we’ve been fans of Carl’s Jr.’s ads (and those of its East Coast brotha company Hardee’s) for years now—they’ve always combined hot chicks (or at least witty jokes) with burger porn in a way that makes us hungry every time. To celebrate JB’s new work with the company, we decided to go back in the vault and find the 10 best Carl’s Jr. and Hardee’s commercials of all time. Bon appetit!

#10 COMMERCIAL: Frisco Burger
FEATURING: Dude on a lawn chair and a giant dog
• Yes, this commercial is pauseworthy, but damn if it didn’t make us wanna eat like 15 Frisco Burgers. Wait, does that make us…

————————————————————————————————————————————————————-

#9 COMMERCIAL: Little Thickburger
FEATURING: Big Thick & Little Thick
Slo mo burger landings: it’s impossible to watch this commercial in HD and not be hungry.

————————————————————————————————————————————————————-

#8 COMMERCIAL: Original Roast Beef
FEATURING: Some fat dude
• An oldie but goodie—do it for the biscuit!

————————————————————————————————————————————————————-

#7 COMMERCIAL: Biscuit Holes
FEATURING: Various shopping mall denizens
• Clearly, somebody at Hardee’s knows the value of a good pause joke. Laughs + associating your comp with doodoo = marketing gold.

————————————————————————————————————————————————————-

#6 COMMERCIAL: “Fist Girl”
FEATURING: Fist Girl
• The grill’s a little busted, but we wouldn’t kick her out of bed for eating a Thickburger.

————————————————————————————————————————————————————-

#5 COMMERCIAL: Charbroiled Steak Sandwich
FEATURING: Some smokin’ hot super babe in a blue dress and her d-bag boyfriend.
• We love the dress code at Carl’s Jr. (shirt + shoes = culinary bliss), but damn dude, for that super fox, we’d at least grab a button up!

————————————————————————————————————————————————————-

#4 COMMERCIAL: French Dip Thickburger
FEATURING: French maids
• Just when you thought Hardee’s couldn’t possibly get any better, they introduce a French Dip. Crazy.

————————————————————————————————————————————————————-

#3 COMMERCIAL: Spicy BBQ Burger
FEATURING: Paris Hilton
• We weren’t the biggest Paris Hilton fans, then again, we were vegan until we tried the Spicy BBQ Burger, so call us impressionable if you must.

————————————————————————————————————————————————————-

#2 COMMERCIAL: Teriyaki Burger
FEATURING: Audrina Patridge
• We’ll admit we were skeptical about grilled pineapple on a burger, but we weren’t sold at first on a reality show about vapid girls in Orange County, either. And now look at us, munching on delicious Teriyaki Burgers and watching The Hills reruns.

————————————————————————————————————————————————————-

#1 COMMERCIAL: Western Bacon Thickburger
FEATURING: Padma Lakshmi
• D-d-d-amn! We love Hardee’s Western Bacon Thickburger (like love love love), but we’ll admit, we’d even lick wack ass Whopper juice off Padma Lakshmi.
