Except, for one those lattes taste like straight up shit & Starbucks ones are amazing. Two, they have the same lingo as dunks except sizes: tall (small), grande (big medium, about the size of dunks large), & vente (20 ounce large) its not "fritallian", idiots...
For months, when someone didn't understand something that was being said, I would say, "Perhaps Fritalian!!!" It should be noted that I did this long after the commercial stopped running.
"I know what you're thinking, did I stay up for 6 hours after having this latte or only 5? Well to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself, so you've got to ask yourself one question: Do you run on Dunkin'? Well do you punk?"
ironically, the narrator speaks of 'delicious latte' when it's really just an Anglicized bastardisation of the italian word cafellatte - or coffee with milk.
Anyone else find it funny that some of the commenters are acting like this is xenophobic or something? I really doubt the stuff they're serving at Starbucks is some kind of authentic, ancient french recipe... they just want it to sound exotic.
@CleoTheSim really are you that protective of your F'ed uped coffee chain that has to be on every street coner and in some citys one diagnel from another one Lost of us "Blue Collar" folks hate Starbucks cause we cant even go in a get just a large black coffee next time Learn To Shut Up and quit protecting a chain that wont even send Stuff to our toops over seas when your comapny sent a remark back saying we dont support the troops that stops and make you realize how messed up they are
@winddragon04 : The funny part is that you think I'm not "Blue Collar." I am a card carrying member of the Teamsters. I have no great love of Starbucks. However, I am not afraid of lattes, prius drivers, literature, or using correct grammar. I don't know about Starbucks corporate office sending stuff to our "toops," but I know for a fact that my local Starbucks has sent TONS of stuff to our "troops." BTW: Thank you for making my point for me. Your panties are obviously in a bunch.
another thing, the sentiment of the commercial is not against foreign languages or intelligence - it's against the pretentious misuse of such things - which those it takes a shot at (arrogant SWPL's) are definitely guilty of.
Great commercial. The elitist SWPL (stuff white people like) types simply don't realize how repulsive they are. Hyper-intellectualism is as obnoxious as hyper-anti-intellectualism. this ad takes a direct shot at the intellectualist snobby SWPL's - who really aren't that smart and compassionate as they fashion themselves - but are really just pretentious, superficial, status-obsessed little twits who really do think they are better (morally, intellectually, etc) than everyone else.
did anyone notice the subliminal message in the advertisement? look at 9 seconds in and one of the coffee's names is "himon plu cento" aka "human placenta" gross hidden message much?
I work for the coffee chain that this commercial is poking fun at. I think it's a clever and funny commercial. Dunkin' has always said that they market to the "blue collar" (note that they use John Goodman as their spokesperson) and that's why they want to poke at my employer for what they think the average American feels we are too snobby or pretentious. It's just all in fun!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I find it fascinating how the ad writers had to lump French into the equation. Espresso jargon is Italian. Period. No French, no other hoity-toity European language, just Italian. Americans don't hate the Italians, but events of the last decade made it fashionable to resent the French, and since Dunkin Donuts was playing to the "base," the people who resent the over-educated and cosmopolitan, they had to smear the Italians with that awful Froggy slime.
I confess. I'm a college professor. I teach media literacy. The fact is nothing tells us more about our sublimated fears than jokes, especially ones that make fun of ethnic groups. I promise you the folks who cooked this ad up were thinking about contemporary trends in resentment and insecurity. It's how we got the Congress we have today. 30 second ads playing to peoples' fears and resentments.
God forbid grown adults expand their vocabularies to include common words found in coffee shops and restaurants they frequent. It's like someone from San Diego going to a Chargers-Colts game and being dumbfounded that the NFL term for a LB or DB rushing QB is actually the German word for "lightning."
UMMMMMMMMMMMMMM ... HOW is this commercial LESS racist/offensive than Rachael Ray's scarf???! It's a freaking piece of cloth! They're making fun of languages! They are a hot-mess! Stinkin' racists. I went to NJ/NY and you guys live off of DD up there! They are on every frickin' street corner which kind of suits their political harlotry!
Not saying anything about Starbucks vs. Dunkin product-wise, but am I the only one that thinks this ad is basically saying "Don't worry, dumb, easily-confused people! Dunkin' Donuts is here for people like you." Also, "latte"? Definitely NOT English. Just sayin'.
@silverlily35 Actually, i think Dunkins is saying, hey we don't use several different languages to describe our products. As Paul Rudd said in Role Models: "No, venti is twenty. Large is large. In fact, tall is large and grande is Spanish for large. Venti is the only one that doesn't mean large. It's also the only one that's Italian. Congratulations, you're stupid in three languages."
@silverlily35 I agree with you 100%. But uh, La-Tay Its not like everytime you want a coffee you have to say supercalifragilistickespeeallidoughshus And a bunch of other crap. It's like 1st grade, "JimSlim how do you spell the word of?" " O F" La-Tay Two Sillabyles ( however you spell it ;P )
starbucks fucking sucks, dunkin donuts is way better. everyone that says starbucks has a good cup of coffee is just a fag super trendy asshole. people go to starbucks to look cool and hip. dunkin is way better and im from the south
To be honest, the only thing that Dunkin Doughnuts does right is the commercials (They Might Be Giants rocks). Everything at Dunkin Doughnuts (or whatever they spell it "Donuts" don't they?) is mediocre, and there's always a better place to find it. As for doughnuts, go to Krispe Kreme, unless you don't like sweet delicious doughnuts... then you can still get doughnuts at gas stations and food stores that are greater than or equal to what they have there.
...the commercial is making fun of assholes that choose to stand in line for extended periods of time while they will order pretentious, foul tasting coffee "beverages" and quibble about the quantity of cinnamon or whipped cream that the mental midget behind the counter has added, or not added, to their retentious foul tasting burnt coffee.
It's coffee for godz sakes. Go to the counter and say "medium coffee, cream, no sugar", pay, and get out of the way so someone else can get a cup of COFFEE!
This commercial is stupid. Starbucks and other coffee shops' menus aren't hard to understand. The only thing that's really different is the sizes. If you can't figure out that Tall, Grande, Venti = small, medium, large, you're a fucking dumbass. Aside from that, Starbucks and the like chiefly sell lattes and cappuccinos, which DD also sells.
"perhaps fritalian"? what the hell? everyone from every other country in the world learns at least one other language during their lives, except for americans. ANYONE can learn another language if they have to, and yet i've heard so many americans that say "i'm one of those ppl that just can't learn a new language" what if a russian person who has just moved to america has this same attitude towards english? you wouldn't accept it and would say it's a ridiculous theory, yet for you it's ok?
in canada there are plenty of people who speak only french, so we have to know both english and french to be able to talk to everyone in the country. but that's beside my original point.
go to my channel, i explain this on there: passing a spanish class in high school IS NOT THE SAME as being able to speak another language! you fucking idiot, i know people who got 90s in french all through high school and they come out of grade 12 not being able to speak to anyone. knowing grammar does not mean you know the language, do some research, maybe look up "language acquisition" as opposed to "language learning" and you'll learn something.
yes, but in america the percentage of the population who choose not to learn another language is much higher than any other country in the world. americans are ridiculed across the world for this, as you are notorious for not bothering to learn any other languages. this is important in an increasingly globalizing marketplace, but you don't seem to care and expect the rest of the world to learn english for you.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
i went to America and tried dunkin' donuts and star bucks, and im in Canada here we have tim hortins, (named after a hockey player YEAH LOL CAUSE WE ALL LIKE HOCKEY AND SUCK ON MAPLE SYRUP eh?) and star bucks was good but the coffee at dunkin' donuts tasted like shit i like tim hortins better, u Americans call this shit "dunkin' donuts" who have good coffee? it tastes like hitler's asshole.
Weeellll...I'd say most of "us" haven't had the delightful chance to try Tim Hortin's. Not sure /I/ would be able to try it anytime soon, but since you suggested it soooo nicely, if I'm ever able, I might just try it! =)
Pretty ethnocentric commercial. I know it's "supposed" to be a knock on how complicated Starbucks stuff can get but really, it is not that hard to get. And this ad winds up putting down anything that isn't "simple and American."
i think its just because when you go into starbucks for the first time it makes no sense. even i was like why the hell is a tall a small and i love starbucks. most adults like the simple small medium large deal
Welcome to the dumbing down of America. Same idiots that can't pronounce my last name phoenetically and freak out because it is 5 syllables. Screw them.
Yeah...my name is "hard" to pronounce because there's a similar last name that is fairly common with an a in it. Mine has a u in it, but people don't see the u for some reason and pronounce the u as an a.

Well I don't live in Canada, so I don't see how your argument is valid.

only americans are like this because they are the only people ignorant enough to not learn another language their entire lives.
habs4life9 2 years ago
Right, which is why language is REQUIRED to be passed in all schools? Elementary, junior and high school. Grow the hell up.

go to my channel, i explain this on there: passing a spanish class in high school IS NOT THE SAME as being able to speak another language! you fucking idiot, i know people who got 90s in french all through high school and they come out of grade 12 not being able to speak to anyone. knowing grammar does not mean you know the language, do some research, maybe look up "language acquisition" as opposed to "language learning" and you'll learn something.
habs4life9 2 years ago
Point is the people who CHOOSE to know a language or six do. The people who DON'T, obviously don't. Just like every other god damn country.
DarkBrawlRiver 2 years ago
yes, but in america the percentage of the population who choose not to learn another language is much higher than any other country in the world. americans are ridiculed across the world for this, as you are notorious for not bothering to learn any other languages. this is important in an increasingly globalizing marketplace, but you don't seem to care and expect the rest of the world to learn english for you.

Weeellll...I'd say most of "us" haven't had the delightful chance to try Tim Hortin's. Not sure /I/ would be able to try it anytime soon, but since you suggested it soooo nicely, if I'm ever able, I might just try it! =)

Pretty ethnocentric commercial. I know it's "supposed" to be a knock on how complicated Starbucks stuff can get but really, it is not that hard to get. And this ad winds up putting down anything that isn't "simple and American."

but I'm tired in the morning and need my coffee...i shoudn't not have to "get" anything.

i think its just because when you go into starbucks for the first time it makes no sense. even i was like why the hell is a tall a small and i love starbucks. most adults like the simple small medium large deal

Ps. I love this commercial, I remember when it first came on the television.

Welcome to the dumbing down of America. Same idiots that can't pronounce my last name phoenetically and freak out because it is 5 syllables. Screw them.
Luna041406 2 years ago 3
Yeah...my name is "hard" to pronounce because there's a similar last name that is fairly common with an a in it. Mine has a u in it, but people don't see the u for some reason and pronounce the u as an a.
