Video: Chicken Commercial Possibly Rejected from Wendy's
The following commercial for Wendy's Four-Alarm Spicy Chicken Sandwich was posted to YouTube by a guy who supposedly worked making ads for the chain. His claim is that they rejected this spot. Maybe, maybe not. In today's wacky world, this could just be an attempt at planting it virally. If so, I'm biting, because is one of the funniest ads I've seen in a while.

That looks like a real commercial to me.

That is pretty funny.

Except that Wendy's isn't currently selling this product, right?
Hmmm!

Pretty funny...but I'm smelling a viral video.

Who cares if it's real or not...

@RheaB: Supposedly, it would have been near completion but got axed, so it *is* a real commercial, at least in terms of production values, etc. It just never ran (supposedly).
@onalark: I have no idea what Wendy's is selling at the moment. Haven't been to one in months.
@Carosone: Could be an attempt at a viral video, as I said — if Wendy's is indeed selling the product.
@LoCo: My point exactly!

That is the actor from Gilmore Girls and I've seen him recently in another commercial - forget the product. I doubt he'd be in a joke video. I'm betting it's the real thing and it's funny!

This loosks really familiar... didn't they show this commercial a few (2-3?) years ago?
If it wasn't this exact one, then it was very similar. maybe the guy didn't blow up in the end, but I think he might have.
