Wendy's Commercial

In this commercial, Dave, the founder of Wendy's, is unsure of how to create the next best thing. To help him make a decision, an angel shows up on his left and a devil on the right. This brings in the religious concept of good and evil and that both influence different decisions in life. In the end, Dave sides more with what the devil side tells him to put on the burger and tells the angel side to "mind your own business". This commercial showed that there is thrill in doing "wrong" as opposed to playing it safe and careful. It hints that there would not be as much excitement if he would have sided with the angel.

  1. I agree that there's a trill in doing wrong. Sometimes it's harder to do whats right. Since Dave is a salesman, he's going to side with the decision that could possibly put more money in his pocket. The root of all evil is MONEY!

  2. The commercial advertises the burger they are trying to sell as being approved of by the devil. It is almost as if the consumer is being warned that the purpose is not actually to give them something delicious to eat, but to get their money.
