Sonic Drive In Commercials 1

The advertising firm that creates Sonic commercials must be owned by a relative of Sonic's last CEO. Hopefully the new leadership will fire them and attempt to rebrand their image. Only a pea brain would pay to have their brand selectively targeted to morons. These people are represented to be typical Sonic customers and all of them are complete idiots. The concept "reality show drama" appears that only really stupid people actually enjoy eating cheap sloppy food in their cars while having stupid human conversations. These people make Barney Fife look like a genius. Next they'll probably feaure the "Balloon Boy" family celebrating their recent space flight! What potential customer would really want to emulate these people and associate themselves as a typical Sonic customer? I have never been to a Sonic because their message offers no incentive to try their food but rather offers an observational commentary on their customer base. Obviously Sonic thinks their customers are fools and they really must be if they actually think these commercials are funny and that eating at Sonic is a special treat. Eating in your car and being served by an underpaid roller skating X-gamer want to be, is not a special night out. Wake up Goober, it's the 21st century.

Sonic Drive In commercials get muted every time they come on at our house. I do believe they rank with some of the worse commercials in the history of tv and I'm not exaggerating. I agree that this may sound harsh but a incoherent dialogue about the restaurant food seem like a throw back to a very bad high school skit.

The current Sonic ad. which has a man saying he would pay $2.99 for the woman. Is this ad supposed to be about prostitution? Why do you think women are a commodity? Get rid of stupid degrading sexist ads. They are not clever..

I thought it was a better add than the two guys, and I actually found it was kinda cute.

I do NOT like the new couple you have chosen to use in your "in car" commercials. The middle aged woman and balding man are hysterical. My husband
and I have never laughed so hard in all our lives. We just couldn't wait for the new commercial to come out with that oh so loved couple. WHAT WERE YOU THINKING???? The new younger couple don't even seem to be in the same generation much less married to one another. The silly commercial of her blowing the dust out of his wallet because he is so tight with his money. I
think the economy calls for us being more tight with out money. The other couple seemed to actually be "married". They acted as if they were. I absolutely love the commercials. We have watched many commercials and couldn't even tell you what business they were for, but yours seem to be the topic
of conversation at each BBQ or get together with the neighbors. I feel that you've made a huge mistake by getting rid of that lovely hysterically funny couple. I highly doubt that we will even purchase food from sonic. Whatever idiot came up with the idea of changing actors must really be the bosses son in law because it was a very ignorant decision.

Sonic Drive In Commercials 2

Each time a new one comes out, I just think that they can't get any worse... I am also a math teacher and yeah, TWO IS NOT THE SECOND PRIME! Others that I have watched it with with also question the reference to the age of the congressman or what ever the other reference is (I don't remember exactly cause I have trouble getting past that prime thing every time I watch it). Don't they have anyone at Sonic that previews these things before they hit the air? Also, what is up with that punching or slapping sound at the end of each commercial? I have not ate there much lately, but the food selection and quality is good.

I'm not here to talk about the food at Sonic, as I've never even seen one of their restaurants, and I'm not sure why they have ads in my area (San Jose, CA). However, I'm a math teacher and the last ad I saw mentioned that "2 is the second prime". This is NOT the case, as 1 is not technically a prime number. Someone else wrote in their review, albeit last year, that Sonic needs to get their facts straight. This seems true.

Perhaps, one day I'll have a chance to taste the food at Sonic, but for now all I can do is critique them

All in all, the commercials are funny. However, the newest commercial where the boy says that money doesn't grow on trees has a major problem. He states that money is technically from trees but it is not. MONEY COMES FROM COTTON!! I think the people who make these commericials need to get their facts straight.

While portions of the Sonic commercials may be amusing, the "Couples" series featuring Molly Erdman and Brian Huskey as husband and wife I find particularly offensive because Erdman is constantly putting Huskey down, making insulting personal comments and painting him to be a complete buffoon. This is male-bashing at it's worst and isn't cool. Switch the roles with Huskey bashing Erdman and the public would take REAL issue with it because men have to treat women special all the time while women are allowed to bash men with abandon and for some reason, we find that acceptable. It isn't. I won't eat at Sonic anymore because of their anti-male, sexist advertising.

I think the Sonic commercials are hilarious! And those of you who complain about them and use such big words as suck and stupid...grow up! Obviously you people have no sense of humor. And we don't care if you are in the "ad business". If you think you can come up with something better, then go for it! Get a life and lighten up! I love the commericials...I hope they continue to make them. Especially the husband and wife duo. "if you rearrange the letters in brian it spells brain, but thats funny...cause it's you..."

Get rid of the homo's in the commercials.

I used to love to go get a super-sonic at least once
a week. Since you began using the homos I have refused
to buy from Sonic.

I love these commercials. My favorite by FAR is the food math with the two guys. If you feel about math the way I do, then you totally get them. haha I think the creators of this ad campaign are geniuses. And for anyone who says these commercials are poor humor, you must not like humor like in The Office or Arrested Development, either. Thanks, Sonic, for holding the cheese on your commercials. I love the real-life conversation slant.

Zero stars would be most correct. Sonic commercials with so-called "real" people SUCK. Dialog produced by the dimwitted cretins who conceived these commercials is condescending, ignorant, irritating, sarcastic, insipid, unappetizing, and stupid. We all know you can't fix stupid! Keep it up. I will continue to find other places to eat as long as the insanity continues. I also change the channel and tune out the programming interrupted by these moronic excuses for marketing.

If 1/2 of a star was available, I would choose that instead of a full star. These commercials are so pathetic. Now when they come on, I just turn the channel so I don't have to sit through another one. These really are very stupid.

A collection of the worst, most ridiculous commercials I've unfortunately had to be subjected to. I no longer patronize Sonic because of my distaste for these crappy ads. I not only quit visiting Sonic, I now change TV stations every time one of those works of crap are extruded into my television. If you could give an IQ rating to these collections of humorless TV spots, I would say it would probably score at or below the 32 mark. What a bunch of absolute garbage. There is absolutely no creativity, witt or humor. No real memorable message is conveyed other than (this is stupid and boring).

I work in television and these ads suck. Unfortunately they appeal to "marketing" people, the bogus hipsters wearing thick rimmed, black framed glasses. They think they are wry and witty. When in actuality they are ass-clowns. Worst ads on TV - which is why they work unintentionally, to some degree. They are so irritating you remember the name Sonic. But otherwise they are the lowest of the low creatively.

Generally, the TV advertisements produced for your company are really terrible.... in-other-words.... they SUCK! A group of International 5 year olds with no common language could communicate a more momentous message to TV viewers. The characters in your commercials are "not believeable" as typical customers or the general public.... unless you're from Circleville or Hanksville. Anyway, perhaps you could think of a new theme to inject some enthusiasm into the 30 second spots. My friends and I enjoy joking about how crappy these current ads are, for the most part. I might even be prompted to visit a Sonic when you provide some intelligent thought process using different characters.

Those Sonic commercials are the funniest things on TV - have seen a couple new ones just this week - they are laugh-out-loud funny. I'd like to find a bio on the people doing these commercials. Anyone got any information?

I think they are hilarious -- both with the two guys, and then the same blond guy and his wife. "What, did your intuition tell you to wear that sweater?" (I think that's the wording...) And the brainfreeze one, too, with the two guys. LOL! Cute *smack* sound at the end, too. Great ad campaign...please don't change them!

Too short-lived at present for five stars, but so far these Sonic spots are rather strong in my opinion. They are funny, memorable, and quick-hit, all making the campaign effective. As these ads are dialogue driven, the potential for a long run is certainly there.

All of the recent Sonic ads are funny and well done. The most recent one I've seen, of the two guys at the drive up ordering a Diet Coke, is laugh out loud funny.

I especialy like that "married" couple, the bald guy and the cute girl, they are funny together, the rest of the "couples" et al are so so.

Sonic Drive In is running great commercials where two people are attempting to order and the snide remarks made between the two of them are excellent. Very droll.
