On  Madison Avenue they call these ads "sticky", and that's the goal.
You don't  have to like them and they don't have to make sense, as long as  
they
stick.
There may be the rub. I'm of a  generation that they probably could care less 
about, and yes...portions of the  ad WILL stick....but for me, in a negative 
way. Since we almost never go to ANY  fast food joint, it will only serve to 
make sure I avoid Wendy's. 
 

Sorry, but when I see a commercial such as that it only serves to drive me  
away. I too am drawn to the sound of the didj (aren't we all?), and when it  is 
in commercials I definitely perk up. I saw nothing Pythonesque or  remotely 
clever about this one, but I respect the fact that others may find  something 
likable about it.
 
Until the posting on this list, I had not seen the ad on TV. I guess the  
best thing about it, is that it fired up discussion on this list;-) Would you  
like fries with that?;-)
