other human: holy shit, I love chicken sandwiches! You wanna go get some?

me: ...you easily led fool.

OK GAF, let's compile a list of what we want Beyonce to say in her lyrics then send it to her. She will single handedly save the video game industry. Oh and anime while we're at it.

His dick game over 9000 like Goku

If you're telling me you've never eaten somewhere because you heard it mentioned in passing by someone (in person, on TV, etc.), then I'm going to call you a liar.

And it's not eating "habits". It's a meal.

Heard it mentioned by a friend "such and such was good last week" - undoubtedly.

Heard it in a song? I'd say no, but then I remember being a teen and hearing the Mobb Deep line "I'm going out blasting like drinking vodka and milk".

I don't suggest anyone tries vodka and milk.

Side note, I don't appreciate being called a liar, but I'm assuming you have recently eaten at Red Lobster and aren't that happy with yourself.

 

[FStop7]

BS

 

[Kuro Madoushi]

Do people really choose to go eat somewhere because a celebrity mentioned it? What kind of thought process is that? Genuinely can't understand it.

I went to KFC because Norm told me to...

[Monocle]

It's the natural result of celebrity worship and the average person's suggestibility.

Like she would actually lower herself to eat at a Red Lobster

I think it's more likely (and cynical) that whoever wrote the song thought "What's some cheap franchised restaurant that's financially and geographically accessible to most of America and has a thin veneer of being slightly more classy than fast food?"

I bet if an assistant suggested to Beyonce that she eat at a Red Lobster they'd be slapped across the face, fired and escorted out of the building while Beyonce scream-sings "COMMONER!"

 

[Alligatorjandro]

I'm pretty sure I watched a movie or a tv show and wanted a thing that I've seen from it.

 

[SillyEskimo]

I never realized people hated Red Lobster before this thread.

 

[gaugebozo]

Everybody knows you have to go to Red Lobster AFTER sex. Nobody wants that next to them. Don't forget for Valentine's day.

Spoiler

I like Red Lobster.

Only real reason to go. But a good reason

Beyonce is a bad reason

 

[Florist]

Why does something need to be "hole-in-the-wall" for advertising to be successful? Maybe you don't understand ads.

Is this technically advertising? Did Red Lobster know about this in advance/pay for the mention, or did Beyonce out of the goodness of her heart and love of all things sea related decide to drum up some business for them?

 

[shintoki]

I could really go for them soft, buttery, cheddar filled biscuits right now as a reward for fucking my girl good.

Thank you Bey

When my girl kneels down in front of me, you know I start to harden /
And if she gives me some good head, I take her to Olive Garden

She was advertising her advertising. Adception!

The food sucks.

I got two orders of lunch scallops and they came out looking like the dish on the left.

All connected and covered in old bey (lol)

Whenever they have that seasonal AYCE shrimp deal, I go crazy for it. Absolutely avoid it the rest of the year. Puts on too much weight.

 

[Malyse]

I'm concerned about your salt intake. Too much salt will kill you, you know.

 

[Armaros]

Being affected by advertising means you instantly run out of the house to get it immediately.

Good to know.

Nice to see I hit a nerve tho. GAF would NEVER let itself be affected by advertising. Nope.

 

[PAULINK]

lmao, red lobster? Surely she could have plugged an actual high class restaurant, people are so pathetic.

Yea they should be a superior being like you posting on a video game forum.

Pretty much. It would be funny if it wasn't so sad, cause like they actually think anyone believes them.

 

[biggersmaller]

Some uppity motherfuckers. My wife and I always get gift cards at Christmas for some reason and we love it. Our routine? Rolls+salad - then split a live Maine lobster with melted butter, tomato and basil. I get whiskey and she wine.

Are people just not getting lobster? I guess we've only gotten their signature item, but honestly the whole course is good.

 

[MisterNoisy]

Red Lobster is fine (I love their biscuits), but this is pretty hilarious.

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

But is she paying?

 

[reKon]

The best thing to do is to order a side of apple sauce and dip the biscuits and enjoy. Thank me later.

Bernie is against Bae and her support of the Establishment. Doesn't she know he marched with MLK

 

[Stumpokapow]

I'm broke as hell and I wouldn't slum it there.

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

Why is Popeyes acceptable for y'all to comprehend, but not Red Lobster, like others said that was joint for black folks. It was more affirmation of her southern black roots.

All that said, did Texas Pete see an increase in sales?

 

[ito007]

People are dumb for eating at a popular restaurant that is mentioned in a song?

I guess those same people are dumb for buying items that they see in commercials advertisements etc etc too right?

Some people just read into this stuff way too much I swear lol.

Eh it's more like, "hey she mentioned red lobster, I like red lobster, that made me hungry for red lobster, I should get red lobster."

I don't see that as dumb personally.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

lots of people getting good dick I see

and you can tell those who aren't giving any in this thread.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

I think the fact that red lobster isn't a particularly impressive restaurant is part of the point, guys. Like when 50 used to say, "I fuck then feed 'em fast food...you keepin em Icy..."

Like these men are just pets to her, treating them to a standard they'll accept because she's boss enough to get away with it while getting what she wants from them.

Maybe I'm the only one that saw and enjoyed it in that sense.

 

[Jigolo]

❤ red lobster ❤

 

[Apt101]

A lot of disappointed diners. Everything there is swimming in oil. Gross.

 

[Zantetsuken]

Haven't been to Red Lobster since I found out the biscuit packages in the supermarket.

 

[Angelus Errare]

Beyonce helpin out people. If the girl you smashin takin you to Red Lobster...good ass job.

 

[breakfuss]

Black people love Red Lobster. I don't care if you're in a city that's 99.9% not black, hit up the local Red Lobster and you'll find that .1% gum deep in those biscuits.

Lmao

 

[foxuzamaki]

Ay, yo, I love red lobsters, fuck all ya'll

It's why they get money to endorse products. It happens everyday.

 

[mckmas8808]

Well yeah, they just being real on that. Even back in the Destiny Child days I thought she got too much spotlight for her weak voice and I felt it was a very conscious choice that they gave Beyonce that role in Dream Girls where her character was aforementioned to not have a strong voice and was put front and center because she was prettier and light skinned. I resonate more with the cut-throat-strong-make-your-soul-cry-type-voices that of Mary J. Blige, Erykah Badu, Jennifer Hudson, and Alice Smith.

Not having a strong-soul crushing voice, doesn't mean she doesn't have a great singing voice. Because she can sing JACK!

 

[Mechanized]

"When he f*ck me good I take his ass to Red Lobster."

Is this feminism?

 

[mckmas8808]

I think it's more likely (and cynical) that whoever wrote the song thought "What's some cheap franchised restaurant that's financially and geographically accessible to most of America and has a thin veneer of being slightly more classy than fast food?"

You realize that she wasn't born rich right?

It's a black culture thing
