You realize that she wasn't born rich right?

I thought she came from an affluent family.

Not to say they still didn't eat at Red Lobster. You know you people still indulge in the trappings of negrosity (kool aid and such) regardless of class.

 

[WanderingWind]

I can't believe people are talking shit about Red Lobster. That was the place you got to go once every couple of years. It used to be the fanciest place most folks could afford. Hell, it was one of the places I went to before moving from the US because I knew it'd be years before I could go again.

Some of y'all need more cheddar bay and all-you-can-eat shrimp in your lives and less cynicism.

 

[lednerg]

So "take his ass to Red Lobster" isn't a euphemism for a rim job or something?

 

[Principate]

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.

That's called the Jones or Sheep, affect (even the your example), this all very well documented phenomena that's the basis of psychology. How do you even think fashion trends start exactly? Or the flavour of the month, "cool" product.

This is not some rare or obscure thing.

 

[PeskyToaster]

i haven't eaten in three days and if someone gave me a red lobster gift card i would just eat that instead of red lobster. i have standards GOD

 

[Angel_DvA]

People please...

Let's ask Kanye.

 

[Revolutionary]

I haven't been to a red lobster in almost 20 years

Same here. I've hit up the Times Square one a few times but there's always a one hour wait so fuck that.

Let's ask Kanye.

Lmao

 

[Raw64life]

I've only been to Red Lobster a couple of times but I thought it was good. I didn't realize people put it in the same tier as Oliver Garden or Long John Silvers. That being said, the biscuits are the best reason to go and you can just make them yourself now.

I think it was just middle class. Like today if you grew up in Houston with two parents making $100,000 combined with a house and 2 cars.

But yeah in the 90s like you said, Red Lobster for us black folk was the MECCA of sea food.

 

[Kaizer]

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.

It's a black culture thing

Same with the hot sauce in the bag

Going to Red Lobster for social occasions is a black community thing.

Not every black family of course, but it IS a thing. Especially if you was coming up in the 90s. Me and my cousins would get HYPE whenever someone in the family had a graduation, because we KNEW where we was going.

So when Bey dropped that line she triggered a very real shared black experience.

Red Lobster is pretty much the only restaurant chain she could have mentioned and got that response.

Quoting all these for truth, great job @ Beyonce for releasing this song/video during Black History Month as well, very well calculated.

 

[wildfire]

I don't believe it. Them having to point it out is an attempt to get that boost.

So people pay tens of millions of dollars for ad space for nothing. Yeah ok. Red Lobster got lucky and are now trying to extend their 15 minutes.

 

[wildfire]

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

Missed the opportunity to say O garden.

 

[Auctopus]

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

Shh, she's trying to be relatable.

 

[MWS Natural]

I haven't been to a red lobster in almost 20 years

^

That's fucking sad...

 

[mckmas8808]

Shh, she's trying to be relatable.

Do you think she'll eat In N' Out burgers?

 

[Vicetrailia]

My god, are we easily led.

We defer to authority, celebrities and experts. We are sheep.

 

[rhandino]

This is a fairly uncomplicated example of how humans react to stimuli.

Then again, this is the home of "how do I wash myself" threads

OMG!

 

[Reverend Funk]

"When he dive in like swimming pools,
I turn on Rival Schools"

Yes this is good

 

[AyaisMUsikWhore]

Some of these responses has me screaming!

I can't at the defense some people have the nerve to say they aren't "easily swayed by advertisement" but participates on a forum that loudly advertises every damn game, movie, video, clothing, books etc etc.

When you enter a thread for a game you play, either want, or watch from an E3 broadcast, or the review you've read etc etc etc, you are being persuaded to purchase that thing. That action is called advertising. Whether by mouth, TV, literature, horse or eagle, whom ever.

Log off the Internet, sell your computer, and all electronics you have, and move yourself with the Amish if advertisement is too much to handle 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

 

[SecretMoblin]

expose it, aya

end it

 

[Sammy Samusu]

Is this feminism?

Feminists can't make sex?

 

[A Link to the Past]

So the thought process goes like this:

" Beyonce talks about Red Lobster after having sex... lets go try it out"


Really??

Not really, it's a response to Red Lobster being in the public eye (or ear rather).

 

[neojubei]

Is this feminism?

Is this a serious question?

 

[WaterAstro]

Should have used In-N-Out. Could have used it for a good sexual innuendo.

 

[Gnub]

Every man seen leaving a dinner at Red Lobster will be considered exceptional in bed.

Men worldwide take selfies in front of the restaurant posting the picture with the note "boo took me to Red Lobster."

Red Lobster dinner dethrones "Netflix and Chill".

Thanks Bey.

Yup! This is perfect!

Yeah, seriously, Red Lobster just got the fucking golden ticket.

 

[Atlantis]

I see it, I want it.

 

[Miracle]

So if Beyoncé said PS Vita, sales would skyrocket?

 

[FStop7]

This thread just reaffirms how stupid some people can be (and they aren't the ones going to Red Lobster). Why is it so difficult for some of you to imagine yourself being reminded that Red Lobster exists when listening to this song, to then want to go and grab a bite to eat? Why would you assume someone is solely eating there because Beyoncé mentioned it and that it's some sort of recommendation?

Second, I don't like Beyoncé, but now I'm hearing she doesn't have a good voice? Really?

Third, why must some of you be assholes and insult people for actually enjoying Red Lobster? People like you are close minded, which is ironic since you're suggesting that eating at Red Lobster is close minded itself when people can be eating "so much better." Well, not everyone enjoys the shit you enjoy, nor can they afford more expensive seafood. Must I also mention that the restaurant may be a favorite due to a childhood for many? Just like with any restaurant at that.

Some dumb mother fuckers, I swear.

you got teary eyed angry in defense of Red Lobster

She loves Popeyes. For real.

All good people love Popeyes.

 

[Massive Duck. C.M.]

Not even Sasha Fierce and the Illuminati can save the Vita

 

[The Faceless Master]

i chuckled at the line but this thread makes me want to eat at Red Lobster for real. i can't remember the last time i was there...

 

[Angelus Errare]

All I know is come the 14th I'm puttin in overtime damn it. If I don't get Red Lobster that night I will be depressed and will make a GAF thread about it.

 

[Surface of Me]

Dont think Ive ever been to the Red Lobster, maybe I should change that. How much more expensive is it than say Chilis?

 

[neojubei]

My god, are we easily led.

People are idiots. Nothing surprising about that.

How dumb can people be?

People are so weird.

Going to Red Lobster for no reason other than Beyonce said it in a song is pretty fucking ridiculous

Wow, just wow.

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.

Amen

People who eat at Red Lobster will now be known as "anti-police" according to the right wing media.

Fox news will probably do a story linking red lobster, the black panthers, Giuliani and hot sauce.

 

[perfectchaos007]

I'm at red lobster eating lunch. These cheddar Bey biscuits are as good as ever
