Unborn baby threatens mom in new burger ad.
Fast-food chain has tough-talking fetus suggesting he'll rip out mother's uterus.
A new ad campaign promoting spicy hamburgers features a tough-talking unborn baby threatening to rip out part of his mother's womb if she doesn't stop eating jalapeno peppers.
The animated commercial for Carl's Jr. restaurants depicts an ultrasound view inside a pregnant woman, as a baby boy tries to get his mother's attention by yanking on the umbilical cord, kicking his mom and ultimately grabbing part of the uterine wall in a suggestion he'll intentionally tear it out during birth.
"Mom! You're not wolfin' down jalapenos again, are ya?" the unborn child with an adult man's voice asks in the spot. "'Cause let me tell you about my friend, Ned. His momma ate nothing but spicy foods, [and the] homeboy came out red, mom. Bright red. So if you keep cramming those peppers down your neck, I might just bust out of here early, grab something on the way out, take it with me."
The child snatches his mother's interior as he makes the threat about grabbing something on the way out and taking it with him.
The ad closes with an announcer stating: "The new Carl's Jr. Spicy Six-Dollar Burger with crispy jalapenos. It ain't for babies." |
