Arby's Oven Mit Commercials?

[Toon Capone]

Does anyone like the Arby's Oven Mit?

 

[Supernovametalstar]

I think the makers of Hamburger Helper should sue for copyright infringment .

That Arby's mitt is no where near as personable and enjoyable as the glove from the Hamburger Helper commercials.

i disagree. i LOVE oven-mitt! tom arnold's voice is absolutely perfect for that character. i especially loved his story about getting the job during his interview with conan o'brien:

tom: "arby's gave me an all you can eat card for their restaurant, so my family go in there all the time and have about $50 worth of food. conan. they took my card away!"

tom's the man

"I DON'T HAVE EARS!!!"

 

[Morpheus]

Oven Mit Man is t eh bomb!

 

[Ryoutarou]

Ya he kick's ars it's about time arby'sgot a good mascot.

How are Arby's sandwiches anyway? I ate one a long time ago. They had a 5 for $10 deal at the time and my friends and I tried it. It seemed like just a normal sandwich, nothing really special. I consider Quiznos sandwiches to be the best.

Oven Mitt is awesome! He's probably the best fast food mascot out there right now, but a lot of places seem to be dumping their mascots.

"This is Lars, my personal trainer..."

 

[Jaguar]

I never used to like Arby's until I saw the oven mitt commercials. Now I'm a believer!!
Um..yeah.
And Tom Arnold is the oven mitt's voice? I thought that was Jim Belushi. Ah well. At least it's still someone good at it.

I hate Oven Mitt with a fiery vengeance. Don't know why. I wish that, in addition to the ears and nose thing, someone would point out to him that's he's an inanimate object and shut him up.

 

[Boy Wonder]

If I hear those commercials one more time, just one more time, someone will be in trouble!

 

[halinar]

And someone marketing person actually got paid to come up with this idea....

We'll make a mascott... an oven mitt. aaah, and call it... ahhhh. oven mitt.

Yeah, and we'll do 12 year old humor with it. Yeah, see it doesn't have a nose and he won't know it.

Ugh... More reasons to avoid any commercial at all costs.

 

[Drachentöter]

I too love Oven Mitt.

"Ah, my nose! Where did it go?!?!"

 

[sag_2002]

"I DON'T HAVE EARS!!!"

Classic!

New sig coming up.

 

[Squall]

When was the last time anyone saw someone using an oven mitt in a fast food restaurant, anyway? I've never seen anyone in a fast food restaurant use an oven mitt. Maybe this is why the whole concept puzzles me...

Arby's is OK, but for fast food burgers, you can't beat Wendy's and Chik-Fil-A.

 

[TimTwoFace]

The oven mitt dude is OK - he's grown on me. But I gotta admit, at first, I thought it was another Hamburger Helper ad, too.

Well, it's all a matter of personal taste, but I LOVE Arby's. I think it has something to do with all the cocaine they put in the sauce....

Umm, what? Arby's doesn't have any hamburgers, all their sandwiches are either chicken or thinly-sliced roast beef, or both. Ditto Chik-Fil-A, except that they only have chicken. Apples and oranges, man, apples and oranges. No comparison.

But back to the topic at hand... I find the oven mitt a pretty bland character. I don't find him obnoxious or anything, but he doesn't stand out either, and that's what you really want a mascot to do, to catch your eye and make you remember him. I doubt he'll stick around for long.

 

[LightAngel]

Hehehe, Oven Mitt cracks me up. I don't even really eat at Arby's much, but now I'm thinking I should go there more often...

 

[EightOh]

Chick-Fil-A rules.

Err, where was I? Oh, right. Arby's. The only things I've ever had at Arby's were a milk shake, a couple of years ago (quite tasty), and some small curly fries while waiting for Spider-Man to start last year. Those were pretty good, too. So I approve.

The oven mitt? I wonder why Hamburger Helper decided to turn down his demands for a better contract. Guess he walked, and Arby's brought him in.

 

[Shawn Hopkins]

I think Arby's missed the boat by not getting the guy who plays Puddy from Seinfield to do endorsements.

"Feels like an Arby's night."
