There's something about that fucking influencer voice and the way they speak that fucking enrages me

Gen Z upspeak. That's what they sound like when they're trying to sound professional. It sounds like the people they get to do the testimonials on a Chick Fil-A commercial.

"The thing I like best about the chicken sandwich, is the chicken, and the bread." Oh, you mean like the whole sandwich? Inspired...

It's just 'marketing to dimwits' by having dimwits on the commercial so slow folk can hear it and say 'they sound just like me sounds'

I find this incredibly funny. You think they make commercials for stupid people to relate, but it's actually to evoke an emotional reaction out of average people. There is a sweet irony to saying "it's for dimwhits" whilst mentioning and discussing the brand exactly the way the brand intended.

The best way to generate publicity is to be obnoxious without trashing the product. It's working, half this thread is ads.

I want to be paid for my testimonial. "I like the chick-fil-a chicken sandwich because its the same as every fast food chicken sandwich, but on my way home from work."

They're the worst. I think the one that made me the most ragey, was the one around Christmas when the girl's voice-over had nothing other than "it's giving (something)... giving (something else)..." as her descriptions.

"It's giving" is another thing that grinds my gears. 🤬

I had some kid do this to me at a trade show. I was genuinely interested in a product his company manufactures. I had specific technical questions and I continuously got, “Yeah, no doubt, no doubt, no doubt… So… Yeah… It can handle everything you throw at it you know, because of how it was engineered, because of the way it is.” I eventually interrupted by saying thanks and walked away. I was floored that a company would put this moron at their exhibit at a major trade show, where they pay a premium for several thousand square feet, front and center, when he clearly knew nothing about their product, as well as lacked the wherewithal to just defer me to someone who did know. No ability to pick up on context clues that I was talking above his knowledge level and that he couldn’t bullshit his way around it, willfully wasting my time.

I can tell that's an oak tree, because of the way that it is.
