Commercial

Me and my family have boycotted your fast food chain until you change your disgusting commercials. We're a Christian family. I'm tired of my 8 and 10 year olds asking me questions about the girls on your commercials.

Commercials

I'm tired of my 8 year old son asking me questions every time a Carl's Jr commercial comes on. The commercials are disgusting. Me and my family have boycotted your fast food chain until your commercials change. Why can't you show a decent family?

Disgusting Inappropriate Ads

Who the heck would want to eat at this restaurant?! Disgusting Inappropriate commercials being aired during family times!? Honestly you wonder why so many children grow up the way they do its because of this garbage being televised! Let alone false advertisement can be added...! I'd never recommend this restaurant to anyone!

Inappropriate content

I'm beyond tired of having these slutty, raunchy Carls Jr ads shoved in my family's and my face...I have 3 young children at home and throughout the years have had to either have them advert their eyes when your disgusting and perverse Carls Jr ads would come on, or I would have to turn channel. My husband even turns the channel when the kids aren't even home. With this new threesome burger ad, my husband and I have made the decision to cancel our cable subscription all together. It's not worth it. No parent should have to monitor channels considered family friendly, such as TBS, not because of the shows that are on, BUT BECAUSE OF THE SLEAZY COMMERCIALS. It's sad really that a fast food chain has to demoralize women to sell their food. McDonalds makes millions more than Carls Jr, yet I've never seen them stoop even near the level that Carls Jr does to sell their product. We have not been to a Carls Jr restaurant for many years because of this, and now are taking measures to eliminate this unwanted and violating filth from entering our home. Absolutely disgusting.

Beyond inappropriate

What? Three women in lingerie, licking bacon, and talking about a threesome, on tv, at 8:23 pm. My sons, age 8, 10, 12 were glued to the tv.

I guess that tv is out for them, because they don't need that garbage at their age.

At least save the porn for after 10 p.m.

demeaning to women commercials

Sex has nothing to do with food! Why on earth would you use commercials to sell burgers? I cannot wrap my head around it. It's so demeaning to women. I don't see you putting men in your commercials, that would be wrong too. Karl Karcher would not agree with those racy commercials if he were alive today. I am an open minded person. I just don't get the connection, because there isn't one. This is just adding to the insecurities of young girls and that is what's so sad. An adult can handle, the world does not revolve around us but a child watching these commercials do not know better.

Models in lingerie

I do not feel that Carls Jr should show such disgusting commercials showing models wearing lingerie frying bacon. This commercial was shown at 3 p.m. in the afternoon on a Los Angeles television station when young children are at home. This commercial is risque and offensive and I wish to make a complaint to that effect. If you have to show models parading themselves around and stuffing their faces, do it on billboards and not on the TV! Nobody wants to see it.

Carl's Jr Nasty Commercials

These commercials are disgusting. Why would they make a commercial about a burger called a 3 way burger! That's disgusting and abnormal, Carl's Jr makes you fat because you're food is so fattening! Why would you have some skinny girls playing the part and not a bigger person? Yeah those skinny girls are going to turn into a big air balloon if they keep doing those commercials lol! The sad thing is why would these girls be up to do this! They are probably getting whatever they want from their parents or sugar daddy not even a boyfriend or husband I'm assuming a sugar daddy! I am 19 years old, paying everything on my own, I only make $300 a month when I have bills that come up to $275 and you don't see me doing stuff like this for money! I'm surfing with $300 a month and you don't see me doing this disgusting things! I hope all you commercial hoes, prostitutes, porn stars, and more become very unattractive (:

PORNO ADS ARE MORONIC AND GEARED TO PERVERTS LIKE THE CEO

These ads are demonic and promoting sex in a porn UNCALLED FOR way with the women opening their mouths and legs and showing their big bossoms in scantily clad bikinis. Totally geared for sex hungry perverts bottom line. All this to sell fast food that is not even that good anymore, really? Greed over modesty. What about the kids that see these ads? No respect whatsoever for protecting children from filth. I STOPPED GOING TO CARL'S AND WILL CONTINUE TO GIVE MY HARD WORKED MONEY TO MAKE A CEO RICH THAT SAYS, HIS CAMPAIGN IS TRUELY AMERICAN! Please don't insult Americans. Speak for yourself, a horny sexist.

Sexism in ads

It is absolutely disgusting seeing such sexualized advertisements on television. Seriously what kind of image are we putting out there for our daughters? Sex and food are two completely different things and there is no need to combine the two. It is absolutely horrific that large food corporations are using women's bodies to sell their product. Like if you can't sell food unless there's bikinis involved then there is something up with you're food and company. But I think that the worst part of this is that I am writing about the sexism in these commercials and how wrong they are and I'm only 12 years old. The fact that 12 year old children can see how awful this type of stuff is but the adults that put it out there can't? People these days are messed up!

Too Small

This latest advertisement dose no justest to the size of your product. Either he is an extremely large person or the portions you serve are extremely small, it looks like a one bite one gulp wonder.

disgusting sexual commercials

It is appalling that Carl's Jr uses disgusting sexual commercials in order to sell food...you've lost a customer and you should pull these adds. McDonald's doesn't resort to this type of publicity and advertising. If these type of commercials are what you need to do to sell food, your company is crap!

Sexist commercials

I can't decide which is more revolting, your sexist TV commercials or your revolting food.
Why gear your TV commercials for heterosexual men when 53% of the population is female?
Fire your ad department!

Carl's Jr and Hardees sexist commercials

I cringe every time any Carl's Jr. or Hardee's commercial comes on because it seems every single one of them is perverse. Not only are these commercials appropriate for children, they are inappropriate for regular television. My family and I will not eat at Carl's Jr. or Hardees for this reason. Even if I didn't have children, I would find these ads completely sexist. I really don't understand why a fast food joint would use this type of sexual advertising to sell burgers. The quality of your food should be enough to sell it without the sexual implications. It is completely unacceptable and degrading especially in this age of supposed gender equality. It even makes my husband feel awkward because it's obviously degrading to women and he has both a wife and little girl to consider in the future.

Sexist commercial

I used to love Hardee's when the company used-the family friendly Hurry on Down to Hardee's jingle.
Now for some reason you use sex to sell burgers. It is gross to mix sex and food together so I don't understand the use of large breasted scantily clad women to sell food.
Do you need the distraction? The Hardee's product is a good one so why use these type of commercials to sell your food?
As a woman who has been sexually abused and molested since I can remember and had to hear catcalls or have these horny men stalk me in public I can't understand why a restaurant chain would show these commercials to the public to further dehumanize and demoralize women.
I remember seeing a talk show and a sex offender had raped women and children and he explained why he did and he said he only viewed them as anatomy and not a person.
When you make these commercials you contribute to babies and women getting raped and killed because you reduce a female to an anatomy.

TexMex on Hulu

Used to take the family to Hardees and Carl Jr but after a few weeks of oversaturation of those Tex-mex commercials on Hulu, never again.

Trying to watch tv with my wife and daughters with this kind of low-brow "sex sells" technique in our faces makes me want to take your company president out and hit him in the face with that volleyball.

Repeatedly. After filling it with loose change I'll now never spend at his fast-food chains. Seriously, though. Never again.

Carls JR's Sexist Commercials are Embarrassing and Revolting

My family and I are so disgusted with the sexual exploided commercials they seem to enjoy showing. This isn't a male dominated world any longer and we would appreciate it, if Carl's JR would quit using "women" to sell their meat! It's especially embarrassing in a room full of guys and/or children. What on earth are you teaching the younger generation? It's Fall for one thing so what does girls in very skimpy (and with oiled bodies) have to do with their new TexMex burger? Please STOP this.... it is very offensive. If you are selling food, then advertise food. If you are selling sex, then go on the Black market. PS> My family and friends refuse to eat at any Carl's Jr.... not that they care.

Tex Mex and other Carl's Jr Commercials

Hi,
Each time I see the tex-mex commercial I am STUNNED. How could this even be effective advertising? What year is it? Am I in a time warp!?? I have had to try to explain this disgusting display of sexism to my 12 year old daughter several times. I do not think it is fair. My girl does not understand why I teach her that her brain is her most important asset, and there are women parading around in tiny bathing suits selling hamburgers!? Even though we like the all natural burgers, we no longer will go to Carl's Jr. because of these offensive commercials. Apparently, there needs to be a huge amount of backlash before the CEO will quit this sexist bs. It is really ignorant. BTW I have noticed in our city that one Carl's Jr. closed completely and two other ones never have any customers. Hmmmmn.

Carl's jr commercials

As another person stated in their complaint, these commercials are absolutely humiliating. I work in a male dominated work place and when any of these commercials, I cringe. Please stop these commercials. There are many places available for the perves who want to see this trash!

advertising

What the hell is wrong with you people and the women doing these disgusting commercials? As a rape victim I am sickened by your exploitation of women. The women who participate should be ashamed. Do you realize families watch sports? You people are sick. You send the message that women should be disrespected. I hope every business you own closes.

Inappropriate Carl's Jr. commercials

I cringe every time any Carl's Jr. commercial comes on. I do not find these ads appropriate for children. My family and I will not eat at Carl's Jr. for this reason. Even if I didn't have children, I would find these ads completely sexist. I really don't understand why a fast food joint would use this type of advertising. It is completely unacceptable and degrading. It is not like I am a feminist or anything. I enjoy watching sports and hanging with the guys. Can't you find a way to make your restaurant appealing to everyone??
