Funny or Die Subverts Chipotle's "Crow" Ad
— Ace

Sort of funny, I guess. Makes a good point... an obvious one, but a point.

One thing they note that wasn't obvious to me (though I think I did wonder): when the noble Free Range Farmer makes his wondrous meal at the end, using old-world farming techniques, he apparently includes no meat whatsoever.

This gets the vegetarians and PeTA on board with Chipotle, while sort of ignoring the fact that Chipotle serves meat and chicken, just like any other fast food place.

9 Illegal Pete filled my burrito needs when I was living closer to "the Hill". Ricco's burritos are even better (Louisville area). Chipotle will sometimes screw you by putting too much rice and not enough meat in there.

I've never been to a "Chipotle" (shit, don't even know what's on the menu) but I would commit antisocial and probably prosecutable acts if I could have a Tito's shredded-beef Combo Burrito with a side of their guacamole and chips right now....

I always thought it was funny when Disney or whomever would put out a movie about animals, including predators, then twist themselves in knots trying to avoid having the touchy subject of HOW they eat each other becoming a problem for them.

Lion King, Madagascar... that stupid little fish movie I can't think of the name of... and there are others.

This is why I'm glad I live in the midwest. Mexican food is junk food, no matter how good it is. You can pretend it isn't, but it is, and I don't really care whether I'm sitting at Taco Bell or the President of Mexico's dinner table.

We have Italian restaurants all over the place here. Some of them, celebrities come from all over the country to eat at them.

Yeah, spaghetti is spaghetti, whether it's from Tony's restaurant or Chef Boyardee's.

Chipotle has a really limited crappy menu. The food is ok, but crappy choices.

It's a taco joint designed for Soviet Russia. A few items and a few choices and that's it.

I go to a place out in in the burbs here called Los Burritos Tapatio where the burritos are gigantic. I don;t order them, but their steak tacos are to die for. And I don't give a shit how the beef was raised.

Posted by: Chi-Town Jerry at September 20, 2013 11:21 AM (f9c2L)

22 The Chipotle ad with all its pretense is the inevitable result of the vilification of "corporations." The end result is the biggest corporation of them all pretending like he's your close friend, maybe a "Big Brother" or something.

23 Gosh. Guess they live in New York. Or LA. 'Cause around here, in Indiana, where we actually*do* all those wicked, wicked things, it's bright green and you can't even see the earth from May to October on account of the growing stuff.

Also, I've raised livestock all my life and mostly 'free range' just cause that's how our grandparents did it and we never had to like, actually support a family on the land we inherited. And sorry to say, but chickens aren't terribly capable of abstract thought or even really aware. If they're outside, they're afraid [major item on any predator menu] *all* the time, and if they're inside all they think about is eating and pecking. What -
doesn't matter. I mean, they're not running around on the green grass going, "Just feel the wind beneath my wings!" They have white noise up there, that's all. It's occaisionally replaced by unknown terror (I've seen an entire chicken house go absolutely crazy because I was standing still, then moved my elbow) and/or hunger. Oh, and those chickens that play the piano? Not really playing. Just conditioned to think there's food on the keys. Peck. Peck.

24 that stupid little fish movie I can't think of the name of... Finding Nemo deals with that directly and hilariously, actually. Fish are friends, not food!

IIRC, Chipotle sources there stuff as they advertise....until they can't.

Then they fall back on regular production rather than either a) pay more or b) shut down.

Clever bastards.

(I'd also note "Crow Foods" isn't even a subtle knock at Monsanto. They both use variants on "feeding the world" for catch phrases. I mean c'mon at least be subtle.)

31 Chipotle is trying to reach out to PETAzoids, vegans and leftists, even though they, hypocritically, serve meat. They can do this in this formerly free country. That's not going to get me to go, as I am an omnivore. I prefer restaurants that serve steak with pride.

They seem fond of nibbling weeds, and are mostly quiet, so we got an agreement of sorts.

35 I got chipotle the day you originally posted about this. And at the end of the thread I posted while in line. They had a sign up that due to supply issues they were using conventionally raised steak. So their slogan should be "Chipotle!

The brilliance of Chipotle was packaging everything for a Sous Vide style revival in their stores.

Allows them to centrally process their meats making it easy for a high turn over staff to create a delicious and seemingly fresh product.

45 Y'know, I laughed and laughed and laughed at the Dr. Demento song "Basketball Jones," and didn't even realize until 15 years later that it was parody of a soul song called "Love Jones." Boy, did I retroactively feel like a fool. I say this because I just watched the linked "Funny or Die" scarecrow ad, and I have a sneaking suspicion that it is a parody of something, which I have never seen because I (almost) never watch TV. Thus, I will refrain from having any emotional response, lest 15 years from now I will be embarrassed.

Speaking as a failed cattle rancher-my dad named each and every one of his gorgeous, purebred Black Angus cattle, and thus, couldn't send them to the slaughter house-I appreciate when animals are treated humanely before meeting their maker, because it means the beef is better. There is a reason Japanese Kobe beef is so freaking expensive-it's because those steers are coddled and pampered every day of their lives until they become steak. But I really get pissed off at the folks who screech and scream about animals being used for food, and how we shouldn't because...evil. Tell that to starving people in third world countries (which ours is edging towards) who need that protein to live another day.

When we first moved to the burbs, a possum crossed our patio outside the glass doors and my wife just about shit. "It's a giant rat!" she yelled. lol..

She made me get a trap because they had to be gone.. Well, lemme tell you, a possum in a cage is one angry mo fo. I caught a couple and released them far away, but of course more possums (and skunks and racoons) would come by.

Eventually, I told her that's it. If she wants to trap them, fine.. But, I'm done.

Had one take up residence in a box in my parent's garage.

Box was deep enough he couldn't get out.

Had no .22, and the box itself was pretty useless at that point (I actually think it was one of those USPS boxes that you're supposed to return under penalty of scorn.)

Anyway, didn't care about the box, so I took an ax and let fly.

Damned thing was dull and just sorta bounced off the possum.

So I turned it over and let fly again and killed it in one blow.

We've got a possum that my wife and I see move between the houses when we have wine on the patio at night, still haven't decided if it's worth killing or just letting be (I'm guessing it lives up in the bushes in the corner of my yard which need to go anyway, so we'll see.

84 We now leave the backyard lights on all night and hardly ever see varmints anymore. Let them go somewhere else. You really want to make sure they are not having babies, cause they get mean with the little ones around. We had a skunk have 5 babies under the porch!

85 I'm generally cool with the larger local wildlife...until it decides to come inside and stay. Then I get medieval on their ass.

86 Only good thing about possums is that they do not get nor carry rabies. Found that out after my Giant, King-Size, Indomitable, UnStoppable Wire Fox Terrier (all 17lbs of her) went after one in our back yard. Napoleonic complex.

87 Possums seem all laid back and mellow...but they're mean nasty critters with a foul disposition when they're not "playing possum"

88 Oh my gosh, Bigby, I have a free range raccoon story to match yours. When I used to smoke, I was outside on my patio having my last cig for the night, and about 10 secs after I lit up, I looked up and saw a big fat raccoon up on my roof ripping out my roof shingles about 3 ft above me. I was truly terrified. That same guy showed up the next day digging through my trash cans. And oppossums are just hideous dull animals, oversized rats that manage to out-ugly rats somehow.

89 61- except for my dad (lol) Yeah, it seems like all those do-good types who scream about GMO's and pesticide just want to make sure the third world remains the third world. I've never eaten at a Chipotle, since I prefer mom and pop Mexican restaurants-my favorite in Fort Worth is Mexico Real. Here in NoVA, they are not as plentiful, but we found a La Tolteca that makes excellent burritos and enchiladas. But my true preference for "fast food" is LEbanese. Schwarma, hummus, falafel-dayum good stuff.

91 serious question are opossums dangerous at all? Got a baby, a small dog, a cat. I did notice the woodchuck isn't around anymore...

When threatened, unless they can get away, they will roll over and play dead. The local animal trapper told me that raccoons, cute though they may be, are far more dangerous than are opossums.

95 Just leave it alone. If you corner a coon or possum they can be very nasty.

96 I couldn't figure out why I'd find a dead possum in the dog run every few weeks so I set up a camera. It turned out my Shepherd Akita cross was bating them. He'd leave some food in his dish and then slink behind his doghouse in wait. When the possums showed up it was bye bye ugly marsupial.

Posted by: NC Mountain Girl at September 20, 2013 12:11 PM (LVEmo)

97 Also if the possum opts for playing dead they emit a death smell from a gland.

98 My bet, Chipotle is bankrupt in a couple years. Posted by: The Jackhole

I hope so. The more I see and think about this little publicity stunt of theirs, the more I hate them. I'll never eat there. (Not like I ever did.) Maybe this is all a stunt to cover their poor sales and give themselves a noble death. "See we went up against the man and the man won. The man always wins."

99 The local animal trapper told me that raccoons, cute though they may be, are far more dangerous than are opossums.

My blind and elderly Jack Russell can corner and hold a possum at bay when one invades the shed looking to get into the feed bin. Tangling with the same sized raccoon would mean a major vet bill even for my two big dogs. Fortunately 'coons are much smarter than possums and they seldom venture close to a place that has three dogs in the yard.

100 The inside of Chipotle. The one near me. It has a ironic industrial look.

See the thing, it actually just looks industrial. And cheap.

For a place that I thought I liked, I actually only been there twice. I never thought about that till now. The food. Isn't bad. But the scene? Are they making fun of me for eating there? Are they making fun of me for the times I don't eat there? I don't know...but I know I am being judged by Chipotle. And I fall short. Way short.

And now this great campaign. Total self-unawareness. Way to nail that target demo of people who don't like nationally-branded fast food outlets. Own what you are bitches. Cause Chapter 11 will be sad litigation.

The chicks voice is great. I don't care if she weighs 300 pounds. I'd definitely fuck her for how she sings.

101 Beautifully produced ad, dumb dumb message. Never eaten Chipotle, but I do know about it because of a running gag on an ep of South Park:
