No, sir. The Arby's / Bob's Burgers / Archer voice guy is H. Jon Benjamin . ...
Uh-oh. Now you done it...

Can't stand the whiner from the sonic ads, followed closely by the Sprint guy.

As discussed, Ving Rhames was the "original" Arby's voice. Ving played Marcellus Wallace in Pulp Fiction, and there's a scene where Ol' Jules is asking a guy what Marcellus Wallace looks like. He says he's "black" and he's "bald" and Jules snaps back "DOES HE LOOK LIKE A BITCH?"
It was just a play on the dispute over who the Arby's guy is.
Sonic guys suck. I instantly grab the remote. Same with Flo. Arby's dude is starting to wear on me.

A runaway 18 wheeler loaded with jet fuel crashing into those two betas at Sonic would be hilarious!!!

If you haven't seen it, you probably need to. It will probably make some random references in other shows, memes, forums, etc. suddenly make sense.

“ WE HAVE THE MEATS!” Ad doesn’t bug me. The Sonic Duo get the heave-ho! Honorable mention: The DR.Pepper, “It’s the sweet one” absolutely horrible ad.

You guys are easily upset. Too much sugar in your diets?

You know there are more than one channel on TV's you can change to when a commercial comes on.

Liberty Mutual's "LiMu Emu (and Doug)." So bad that they are good in a way. As for H. Jon Benjamin for Arby's, I like putting a face to the voices of cartoon characters.

I actually like the Arby's guy. Probably the only commercial on air that I care for.
The Sonic guys can take a long walk off of a short pier.
"The people hate the lizards and the lizards rule the people." "Odd," said Arthur, "I thought you said it was a democracy." "I did," said Ford, "it is." "So," said Arthur, hoping he wasn't sounding ridiculously obtuse, "why don't the people get rid of the lizards?" "It honestly doesn't occur to them. They've all got the vote, so they all pretty much assume that the government they've voted in more or less approximates the government they want." "You mean they actually vote for the lizards." "Oh yes," said Ford with a shrug, "of course." "But," said Arthur, going for the big one again, "why?" "Because if they didn't vote for a lizard, then the wrong lizard might get in."

The Arby's guy now says "For Sandwiches" at the end of the commercial. I don't remember that at the start of this campaign. Did someone get offended and they had to make it clear the meat was for actual sandwiches?? Maybe he always said that, I don't know. Their food is terrible.
Oh...wow...I had't actually seen one of these commercials (only remember hearing the "we have the meats", that complicates my choice now. Still Sonic but only by a hair now instead of a blowout.

Guy is a stupid wuss. Wife is smart. Kids are brilliant.
These are the commercials that are annoying.

I don't like any of those guys but I can watch Jennifer Gardner commercials all day long.

Indeed. I'm certainly behind in my movie-watching.

That's Garner, and I'll agree wholeheartedly.

The one I hate is the effeminate construction worker on the Wayfair commercials, who sails thru the air saying "Game-Changer!"
