7 Worst Ads Arby Don’t Want You To Remember – Eat This Not That
Arabi has long been known for some weird commercials. They’re not afraid of crap, they’re big on what’s called unnecessary close-ups of meat, and they often seem self-conscious in their advertising, playing things seriously just for laughs. And that’s all right—we’re all drawn to ironic and interesting commercials.
What Arby’s does from time to time is cross lines in their advertising. Over the years, some of his spots have been too sexual, too sensual, too aggressive to people of different races or fitness levels, and in some cases, too annoying. As you would rightly expect, we’re going to cover all those types of Arabic commercials here today. Here are the worst ads from Arby’s that the fast-food chain will make you forget.
This recent 15-second Arabic commercial manages to infuriate at times despite its brief duration. It features an obnoxiously loud buzzer ringing several times, interrupting the terrified narrator trying to pitch a Reuben sandwich. The ad has been criticized by many on Reddit and elsewhere. One Reddit user also commented that they won’t eat at the chain because of the spot, “They’re on my ‘I won’t buy anything from them because their ads are so bad.'” Now that’s bad.

This ad would never have been approved in 2022 (we hope), but not long before, in 2006, it was all over TV. Advertisements depicted several construction workers with attractive women; They don’t call them out, but it’s offensive nonetheless. The men then “catcall” another man who is carrying food from Arby’s. It is an attempt at humor at the expense of women who have long suffered from such unwanted attention.
In 2006, Arby’s did a commercial to feature slimmed-down Hulk Hogan, who decided he no longer needed to pump after eating Arby’s chicken sandwiches that were “not pumped up with all the phosphates and fillers.” was.” The ad praises Arby’s chicken, which is now 100% completely natural, with countless customers asking: “What was this before?”
Most people know actor Jonathan Sell by his role in the show “Law and Order”. Few people know him from an ad for this cringe-worthy arabic from 2009, though. It’s marketing Arby’s Portobello Mushroom and Swiss Roast Beef Sandwiches, and in the ad, sales seem to enjoy the sandwich a bit more. It’s hard to watch, especially if you respect him as Detective Ron Holden.
In early 2010, Arby’s ran a series of commercials with a new slogan: “It’s good mood food!” The slogan was “sung” by a man named Parry Gripp. The ads were not so controversial as they were almost universally panned by viewers. According to QSR Web, the ads with the original jingle were named by Consumerist as one of the worst ads in the country at the time.
In one of its more audacious marketing stunts, Arby’s ran a 13-hour ad on a TV station in Duluth, Minnesota. The entire “ad” featured a slab of brisket cooking in the smoker. It was a ridiculous use of air time, and is now a ridiculous use of storage space and bandwidth, considering that the entire 13 hours of “commercial” is now posted on YouTube.
This brief ad from the late 1980s manages to awkwardly insult its own potential clientele, and it also foreshadows the obesity epidemic that was on the make. It advertises Arby’s new 32-ounce sports bottle and claims the chain made it for “active people like you,” while depicting a man leaning lazily in an easy chair. Finally, we see that the “sports bottle” is filled with Pepsi. The ad may be less remembered now, but it is utterly derisive and insulting nonetheless.
