Couldn't bare to watch it that far!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's a wonder you're still here so, with those deceptive attempts by the conglomerate,
and the thread with those critical posts of such antics which disappeared.
Maybe I've said too much already, suppose I better be careful from now on.

Poetic justice.

Extremely tenuous & USA-centric as you need to know about fast food outlets which anybody with sensible eating habits would avoid.

For the record, the only reason I know what this cartoon is about is because I used to live in North America - there are very few of these in the UK.

All you have to do is decipher the restaurant name, look up their website and have a knowledge of dubious footwear. Or that was my best guess anyway!

The joke works without Arby's.

Swmbo got it very quickly and she's never lived in North America.

The "This little piggy" rhyme is well known in the UK.

Would even work at Tesco's deli.

Well, I for one has forgotten that one, due to ageing!

Not exactly. The joke, such as it is, hinges not just on the nursery rhyme, but on the fact that Arby's is "famous" for serving roast beef sandwiches... you need both parts for it to be hysterically funny... allegedly... There's also the faint irony of the rhyme being about pigs and the joke being about beef - mixed messaging, a subtle dig at one of the vectors of CJD, or just a poor joke. Who knows?

As with most jokes, the moment they have to be explained, whatever humour there may have been is lost...

That's it then, I for one, I guess out of 100's, have never heard of 'Arbys'. But then I've never really understood US 'humor', & probably 'vicky-verky' (vice- versa). Ce le vie!

It's ok, Stuart, we've never understood yours.

I was just chuffed when I got it, or what I thought was it.

'Have to say that even though I didn't (and couldn't be bothered to find out) get the joke this thread has certainly made me laugh... Thank you all.
