      Powered by spite, needing to be Mature Adultman at every moment of the day, pretentious monologues about his own ennui. Like I said, I doubt anyone can find any single character more :grillman: than Mr. Delicious.

      "I want to be like Mr. Delicious when I grow up!" kid was born just a little too early to become :le-pol-face: 's primary demographic.

          Considering when "Mr. Delicious" aired, I'm pretty certain he's a full blown junior boomer now, just like way too many Xers. :doomer:

      If they waited a couple of decades to market Mr. Delicious to millennials (minus the hating everyone else part), he'd be the most successful fast food mascot in history.

    I'm only a minute into the video but I've already concluded that he's just Patrick Bateman for :grillman:

      His mysterious briefcase has a non-zero chance of containing the body parts of sex workers, such as the ones he monologues about wistfully during one of the Rax commercials. :sus-torment:

    Carrying around a big business briefcase with the name "Mr. D" engraved across the entirety of one side.

      That's how you know he's Mature Adultman, unlike the rest of us. :grillman:

    I fucking love Mr. Delicious, man. I need a fast food mascot that has given up on the world and is just there to tell me that a roast beef sandwich is 8 blocks away for 2.99

      A doomer version might have been nice, but his contempt for everyone but himself, and for life itself, puts him in the :grillman: camp for me. :haram:

      Mr. Delicious, like the boomers he's modeled after, would have had it pretty good all things considered if he wasn't basically an archetypical wifebeater that wonders why his kids never call. He didn't give up on the world as much as the people he hated abandoned him.

        Yeah, those are all good points. For a more fair version of fast food mascot rating, I need to do it while less drunk

        Still, I like the idea of a fast food mascot who has ceased giving a shit

          I consider Nihilist Arby's to be a guilty pleasure. I think it isn't official marketing, which helps.

            Maybe just a bit too dark for me

            Perhaps there will one day be a perfectly fine balance of dark fast food advertisements for me but until then I'm just going to sit at Taco Bell browsing c/doomer

    half the endorsements sound like they're being paid and don't give a shit about hiding it, and the other half sound like they're being paid and are trying to hide it with sarcastic enthusiasm

      The teenagers saying "I usually go to the bathroom during commercials, but now that Mr.D's on, I hold it!" Was very clearly copy written by an overworked intern

      I wonder if they added cortisol to the sauce, just to complete the :grillman: experience.

      Lead is probably cheaper and would do the same thing.
