Wendy's Grill Skills (89)


I don't just look at movies here, oh no. I also look into edutainment films, terrible ones. Videos so lame and cringe worthy that a part of you dies inside after a viewing. Wendy's instructional video Grill Skill is one such piece of... something.

It starts off simple enough. A Wendy's worker starts his shift one day, when he is told to see his boss, who tells him he will be promoted onto the grill, and he has to watch a tape to prepare him for the momentous occasion. And that's when things start to go wrong...

First, the TV starts to shake, and smoke. Then, the young lad gets SUCKED into the TV, where he's confronted by a grill and a BLACK MAN IN A TRILBY!!! Since he is black, he instantly starts rapping to horrible 80's synth shit, and comically plays his spatula like a guitar. I'll leave you to watch the rest, but look out for the dorky guy, whose voice reaches levels even dogs can't hear.

To top it off, there's one of the corniest "Oh Look, I'm Doing It!!!" montages I've ever seen. But still, the worst is yet to come...

A music video by the Wendy's staff, who seem to be collectively the biggest group of nerds and rednecks ever assembled in one place. Their hairstyles and mustaches truly are a thing of nightmares.

I can't take it anymore. I am off to America for a Wendy's burger.

(Un)luckily for you, the majority of the video is on youtube.
