I really think they could have chosen a better restaurant chain to use their song.

Agree with most of the others on here that this a chain which should have disappeared during the pandemic.

I think they used AC/DC in a previous set of commercials. Sure are spending a lot of money to advertise mediocre food.

With the Applebees/Start Me Up partnership gaining alot of attention lately promoting junk food/bad restaurants, maybe there will be others in the future.
Maybe something like McDonalds/Satisfaction....or maybe Starbucks or Dunkin' Donuts/Hot Stuff....or Black Angus/Wild Horses...I can hear "couldn't drag me away" being misused right now.
All terrible ideas that I hope never come to life, but makes me wonder how low they will possibly go?

Bad use of the song. Very square and old vibe. Makes me think of dinner at an old folks home. Assume Mick and Keith got a very large check. Can all you can eat ribs and fried shrimp make a dead man come?

i've eaten at applebee's before

it smelled weird, the service was bad, and the food wasn't very good

but what made up for it was watching from our seats as three drunk guys beat the ever loving sh-t out each other in the parking lot for a good 20 minutes set to neil diamond

not that this seemed to faze anyone in the restaurant who just seemed to ignore it as if this was a normal event that happened every night

anyways i prefer shari's

at least they can cook a halfway decent omelet and there pies not to bad

but i bet mick's still kicking himself for not taking ruby tuesday's offer and getting that lifetime supply of jalapeno poppersgrinning smiley

I like Shari's, too (for that sort of thing). Unfortunately they don't have any restaurants super close to me. They are all over the place in Oregon though. I ate at one on my NIN roadtrip in September.

yeah they are kinda hard to find

the ones i eat at are in olympia, wa and tacoma

and those are still 70 miles from where i live

but applebee's are everywhere

There is a Shari’s about a mile away here in Silverdale. Great pies but my wife bakes a far superior Marionberry pie! There is also an Applebees about a mile away. I haven’t been there in years but it is still a popular place.

I think this is the commercial



As an American, I'm perhaps more embarrassed about this god-awful chain of restaurants than just about anything else my beloved country has spawned. As someone wrote, Applebee's is the epitome of mediocrity.

Worse, the company peddles "food" that is not food, stuff that in the long run is lethal to one's health. Just look at the crap they show in that commercial. Deep-fried, high-sodium, high-fat garbage. Eating this stuff regularly causes obesity, diabetes, and a host of other health problems that so many Americans now are suffering from. We are crippled by our poor diets here, and increasingly, in so much of the rest of the world.

Yes, ultimately consumer ignorance is to blame. But I despise these merchants of death. And the irony that my favorite band is helping them in their efforts to push an obscene lie is very difficult for me to stomach.

Drew

you have applebee's

and as a fellow american i have

the kfc double down

Chevy used Back In Black for one of their commercials a while back. The reasoning that the band let them use the song is that Chev were going to use another song that sounded similar to BIB. I think it was to promote the Chevy Cobalt which was basically a newer version of a Cavalier.

Jimmy Buffett did two beer brand commercials.

Way back in 1982 for Miller.

[youtu.be]



And then... in 1984...



[www.youtube.com]

And lastly... LandShark. His own. No commercial to my knowledge.



But that's beer, not a shitty place to eat.
