Carl’s Jr. had their ad for their Memphis BBQ burger banned from New Zealand television – so Special Group reformatted it for radio. Which hasn’t been banned – yet.

Genius.
nailed it
Ah the old theatre of the mind, gets me every time.
This is really, really well done. So many possibilities for how this plays out. Keep it going!
Really?
Very well executed, smutty ,teenage boy humour ….again….
You automatically lose automatically 50% of your audience although most of your female colleagues in advertising probably pat you on the back politely in order survive and retain their jobs.
NZ seems very sexist to me. You wouldn’t get away with this in UK or the States.
Aren’t we a bit more progressive than this?
Progressive? Stop hanging out with lezzers in organic fair trade coffee shops and you’ll see that you are in the massive minority.
By subverting our expectations of the medium, this script pokes fun at the traditional use of smutty humour in television advertising.
And Carl’s Jr.’s audience is not 50% female.
Anything else we can mansplain?
