Became endemic and the marketers moved onto another thing to implant in westoid consumer-consciousness.
I’d like to point out that I’ve seen the same commercial featuring bad luck Brian over a dozen times today at work. Marketing people are still stuck in the early 2010s
Marketing people in the early 2010s were still airing that one 90s Sears commercial about getting the AC fixed

If this is true, why am I not being bombarded by 10 guy memes when I'm subjected to advertising?
I just heard a Das Racist song in an Instacart ad. Earlier I caught a Brad Sucks song in a Lexus commercial.
Once you turn old enough your worst generational peers will weaponize your youth against you. Soon you zoomers will be hearing 100 gecs in an ad for a lawnmower.
T-10 years until i hear 'feel so clean like a washing machine' in an ad
Yeah, didn't the "le epic bacon" thing happen in response to a huge slump in bacon sales? I could have sworn reading somewhere that the whole thing was basically an astroturfed social media marketing campaign by the pork industry. Or maybe I'm just being conspiratorial.
It was astroturfed. https://www.salon.com/2023/01/31/heres-how-we-fell-in-and-out-of-love-with-bacon/
The article shows the pork industry pushing restaurants to slap bacon on everything, not engaging in viral marketing. Le Epic Bacon being a organic consequence of the inorganic baconator.
IIRC colbert did a massive ad for baconnaise on his show (it was disguised as a funny segment). so there was all kinds of push for the bacon shit.
Did evidence of a viral marketing campaign ever come out? Its believable because of Edward Bernaise and all.
idk if the epic bacon thing actually was astroturfed or not I was just being glib
Hyuck hyuck this made me belly laugh heartily good sir you are a gentlemen and a scholar enjoy your Reddit gold
Edit: Wow! I really didn't expect this post to blow up like this! Thanks for the gold, kind strangers.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
holds up spork penguin waffle dooooom (that's me being random)
Carnists still use "Bacon is epic tho" as an argument against veganism
Those jokes were almost as random as llamas! I miss those times ROFL!
I remember a time, long long ago, where we'd insult people on the internet by calling them llamas.
holy shit, I forgot about this. It was a stupid youtube channel that made grotesque "meals" that centered on bacon and whiskey. Imma go find the channel.
Edit: it was called Epic Meal Time, and it's still gross.
2nd edit: oh, epic bacon had nothing to do with epic meal time, this post just sparked my memory of this dumb shit
Ever since the Woke takeover of social media and the corrupt "defund the police" movement, people no longer see bacon as "epic". Thanks, liberals!! 🤬
