Ep.96 – Horny Brand Twitter
Episode description
We've all seen brands flirting with their audiences and each other over the years from Wendy's to Duolingo to Pedialyte. Oftentimes the brands doing the flirting make no sense and have no business being horny on main and leads to many awkward moments and slip-ups. It was all fun and games initially with the inclusion of internet slang like "BAE" and "bruh", but things escalated quickly once the COVID-19 pandemic hit and blue balls set in. Audiences turned on company socials screaming "silence, brand!" and "go to horny jail!" culminating in watchdog accounts like "Brands Saying Bae" deriding and making fun of the r/fellowkids energy companies like McDonald's, Virgin America, and Cheetos were giving. We couldn't cover everything in this episode, but Jon and Harland will get to the bottom of the Radio Shack rebrand next week while Kyle is gone, so stick around!
