3:05 "...All backed with a new kind of courteous, friendly service." Before 1991, restaurants would throw the plate directly at your face and call you slurs. Sizzler was truly revolutionary.
It is genuinely fucking hilarious how incredibly niche these poolverine/ deadclaws references are, what level of meta are we in right now Rovingotter really out here tying their fics lore to some random-ass commercial from the 90s LMFAO
You can never go back. Only look to the future! Think about what you would go back and change and do it TODAY. Time is very very short. Shorter than you know
All I'm saying is at some point when they were making this commercial, they paid a guy and told him to write the greatest goddamn Sizzler song ever...Fuck yeah, he did.
This song defined my morals and shaped my life as a teenager in the early 90's. After two years of community college study, I eventually achieved a line cook job at Sizzlers -- my dream, and my first step to the long ladder of success and the American Way -- but I got fired after about two months for putting peanut oil in the fryers instead of vegetable oil.
I came from here from a poolverine fanfic 😂 this is crazy i was near tears and my cheeks are hurting from laughing at the thought of Wolvie stuck here brooding and angry....hold on Logan even though its your fault you're here Wades going to do anything he can to find you 😢.
I wonder if the owner of this video is confused as to why a sudden surge of people are commenting things along the lines of “LOGAN GET OUT OF THERE” or “WADE HES OVER HERE” after 12 YEARS lol
"Sizzler is the one who brings us choices" Sizzler is the lawgiver. Sizzler is the one true path. Sizzler is freedom. Sizzler is life. All praise to Sizzler.
Oh my God, I was chuckling mildly throughout but when that sexy bedroom whisper of "Sizzler" played at the end it completely broke me. I could not stop laughing. I think I almost died
I mean, it's 5 minutes long and that's typically the sign of an internal presentation video but honestly those are some of the best material out there. It's like a leak of classified documents. Hilarious classified documents.
Brings me back to one of my last days in California where I took a pineapple from the Sizzler buffet, hollowed it out and filled it with soft serve BECAUSE FREEDOM Overheard server: "Did someone just take a pineapple?"
The last time I went to Sizzler was in the late 90’s when I was a kid. There was a therapy session happening and there were multiple people with anorexia being encouraged to fix themselves a plate. The people were skeletons. They endured every minute being inside that place. My parents decided it was best to leave, and we never returned. Twenty-two years later and this memory is forever burned in my brain.
All across America The song of freedom rings A song that's growing stronger everyday It tells us when we listen To the message that it sings Let us lift our voices We can make the choices We will make the most of all The best that freedom brings Sizzler is the one that brings us choices Reaching out across the U.S.A. Each and everyday Get a little freedom in your life Sizzler brings the choices That you've been looking for Giving you the right to choose we're offering much more By holding to traditions Yet changing with the times Choices and selections Choices of directions Choices that can add a little freedom in your life Sizzler is the choice of America Sizzler gives you choices everyday That's the Sizzler way Get a little freedom in your life Sizzler gets freedom in your life
My Largest Project with Sizzler through 1992. Over 660 Sizzler Restaurants in the US Converted to Hot Appetizer, Pasta Bar, Dessert Bar, Ect...

When I was little, me and my mom and dad were eating at Sizzler at a booth. Without warning or introduction, a guy who claimed to be an out-of-work actor came and sat down in the fourth spot in the booth. He auditioned for us, doing maybe ten different personalities in the span of two minutes. Excited. Elated. Screaming. Crying. Pensive. Scornful. Mischievous. My mom gave him some of her liver and onions. Looking back I think it was just a homeless man.
I shall now devote my life to Sizzler. I pledge to seek out and destroy the careers and reputations of anyone in the media who dare challenge Sizzler. This I vow.
1:04 That sailor's girlfriend just told him she's pregnant, and he is smiling because he knows he's getting back on that aircraft carrier in two days, and he ain't never coming home.
hes faking it, he was never really in the navy.. pretty sure i seen that dude on stolen valor, hes still walking around 30 years later in the same ensign uniform..
I remember when my Dad got a car and decided to take us to the Sizzler out on Long Island. I was super hyped because of commercials like these. I remember the key lime pie but not much else. We opted for Red Lobster after that.
Every decade is like that. The early 80s like 80-81 and part of 82 were pretty much a spillover from the 70s to me. MTV and Michael Jackson’s Thriller ushered in the 80s as we know it. And likewise with the 90s. The Clinton campaign in 92 and the Seattle grunge groups brought in the 90s
the first half of a decade seem to overlap with the latter half of the last.. early 60s were like the latter 50’s, the late 60’s were like the early 70’s, late 70’s early 80’s and so on.. new decades and trends really seem to start about half way thru rather than at the beginning i guess 🤷♂️
@@atomicdawg100 this lamb thinks 9/11 was the cut off for the 90s/00s. Then the Obama electoral victory / inauguration was the end of the 00s.0.. The 00s.1 ended the day of the 5.8 earthquake in VA in 2011. People were reading tweets about the earthquake before they felt it in places like NYC.
By holding to traditions, yet changing with the times. Choices and selections, choices of directions, choices can add a little a freedom in your liiiiifffeee!!! Sizzler is the choice of America! Hand on heart, tear in eye, stars and stripes flapping in the front yard.
This video single-handedly brought down the Soviet Union. Americans air-dropped hundreds of VHS tapes of this video over East Berlin, and suddenly everyone was ready to mow down the Stasi to get themselves a Sizzler surf and turf combo.
i love how the internet has collectively brought us together to lose our minds over an old commercial because of a poolverine fanfic

Imagine getting stuck in this comercial out of all the others Mr. Wall could've went with. Anyways,keep on fighting,Logan!
Right?! This is a diabolical choice of location.
As a fast paced business man with a cellular telephone, Sizzler is the perfect solution for a quality homestyle meal on the go. God bless me all.
A fast-paced businessman who looks like a young Eugene Levy.
Logan!!!! We’re gonna tell Wade, don’t worry!!! We’ll get you out of there!!! Also I LOVE YOU TOO PLEASE NEVER FORGET THAT

"Things sure are changing," I said to myself while watching the sun set through the bay window of the Del Mar Sizzler on that fateful evening back in '91. As I enjoyed another half carafe of pink moscato, I found myself reminiscing over the fall of the Berlin Wall and the end of the Soviet Union; when suddenly I noticed a neighborhood boy named Jimmy Sacrimoni and his friends skateboarding just outside the establishment.
Little Jimmy somehow seemed different than I'd previously remembered him. He was wearing a black t-shirt with "Nirvana" printed on it, though his life currently looked like anything but. As he performed various stunts on his skateboard, his pals would encourage him with such blithe sayings as, "totally radical," or, "don't have a cow, man."
"Oh, Jimmy," I thought to myself, as he and his friends began cooking up a batch of china white and shooting one another up. Couldn't these kids see that-- beyond their short-sighted nihilism-- there was another way, a better way... the SIZZLER way? Or were they simply unaware that, all over America, a quiet revolution had been taking place?
As I strolled over to the buffet court, I looked around the restaurant at all of the beaming white faces-- the corporate guy and his side-piece; the lady with the eating disorder staring longingly at the dessert station; the aged sea captain and his totally legit ten-year-old girl companion-- and it immediately dawned on me that I was home. Sure, out there might have lurked an entire army's worth of Jimmy Sacrimonis, with their cynicism and their Bugle Boy jeans; but in *here* we were family-- a united affiliation of clean-cut, sparkle-toothed winners. Or Americans, if you will.
Smiling, I helped myself to a cone's worth of not really ice cream but I don't know what else you'd call it. Sure, Jimmy and his friends had made their choices in life; but we too had made a choice, and our choice was "the choice of America". I took a silent vow that, no matter what, I would continue to live my life the Sizzler©way, and then returned to my booth so that I could finish writing the first draft of the trade agreement that would eventually become NAFTA.
Later that evening, I wound up hooking up with one of the Sizzler waitresses. She was a wholesome girl-- let's call her "Karen". As we lay together in our motel bed in post-coital unity, Karen reflected on society:
"The world's going downhill, Steve," she admitted between puffs of the lipstick-smeared cigarette we were currently sharing. "Things are headed in the wrong direction."
I immediately leapt up from the moth-ridden mattress to contradict her. "Not on my watch, Karen!" I found myself shouting. "So long as there are sunsets, marinas and slow-motion footage of boats sailing by, I will fight to keep this country safe from the forces of progress!"
With that, I put on my navy polo shirt, white linen pants and Sperry Topsiders, threw a fiver on the bed, and peaced out. As I got behind the wheel of my Mazda Miata and dropped the top, I saw the sun begin to rise. So, I cranked up the Jesus Jones, put the pedal to the metal and listened to the engine purr as I hit 32 miles an hour. It was morning again in America.
This comment 😂
Pure art.
Jesus Jones was the maraschino cherry.
It was all you can eat overconfidence down at Sizzler corporate in 1991. Holy crap that commercial was EPIC!

When I was little, me and my mom and dad were eating at Sizzler at a booth. Without warning or introduction, a guy who claimed to be an out-of-work actor came and sat down in the fourth spot in the booth. He auditioned for us, doing maybe ten different personalities in the span of two minutes. Excited. Elated. Screaming. Crying. Pensive. Scornful. Mischievous. My mom gave him some of her liver and onions. Looking back I think it was just a homeless man.
Just imagine it was Jim Carrey
@@shapho4056 Ok
The last time I went to Sizzler (circa 1991) I saw a kid licking the tongs used to pick up the watermelon at the salad bar.
And that’s just what YOU saw...
LOGAN WE ARE GONNA GET YOU. OUTTTTT !!!! 🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣
I shall now devote my life to Sizzler. I pledge to seek out and destroy the careers and reputations of anyone in the media who dare challenge Sizzler. This I vow.
lol at 2:48 the couple making out. see's the camera. then keeps going.
WADE HES OVER HERE BABYGIRL
1:04 That sailor's girlfriend just told him she's pregnant, and he is smiling because he knows he's getting back on that aircraft carrier in two days, and he ain't never coming home.
😂🤣🤣 wrong
hes faking it, he was never really in the navy.. pretty sure i seen that dude on stolen valor, hes still walking around 30 years later in the same ensign uniform..
Don't ask don't tell...
WOW! Did you see how many people actually fit around the buffet bar back then? Today, you're lucky if 2 people can fit there.
DJ Mindchime I was equally amazed at how they were dressed. "Kids, put on your ties, we're going to Sizzler".
***** That's the Sizzler way!
DJ Mindchime That's because those two people have been eating Sizzler for the past 24 years.
I'd like to give my input but the last time I was at a Sizzler was 1991.
***** Move to China then
Jonathan Taylor Thomas and Macaulay Culkin called, they said to tone down the 90s-ness of the commercial.
crying at all the comments from the poolverine fic 💀
This might be the most glorious thing I've ever seen.
I remember when my Dad got a car and decided to take us to the Sizzler out on Long Island. I was super hyped because of commercials like these. I remember the key lime pie but not much else. We opted for Red Lobster after that.
I like playing this before I go to sleep at night. 😂
I was about 15 in 1991.I forgot how much "80s carryover" bled into the early 90s
Every decade is like that. The early 80s like 80-81 and part of 82 were pretty much a spillover from the 70s to me. MTV and Michael Jackson’s Thriller ushered in the 80s as we know it. And likewise with the 90s. The Clinton campaign in 92 and the Seattle grunge groups brought in the 90s
the first half of a decade seem to overlap with the latter half of the last.. early 60s were like the latter 50’s, the late 60’s were like the early 70’s, late 70’s early 80’s and so on.. new decades and trends really seem to start about half way thru rather than at the beginning i guess 🤷♂️
@@atomicdawg100 this lamb thinks 9/11 was the cut off for the 90s/00s. Then the Obama electoral victory / inauguration was the end of the 00s.0.. The 00s.1 ended the day of the 5.8 earthquake in VA in 2011. People were reading tweets about the earthquake before they felt it in places like NYC.
This is some ARG type stuff but, I’m doing my part
By holding to traditions, yet changing with the times. Choices and selections, choices of directions, choices can add a little a freedom in your liiiiifffeee!!! Sizzler is the choice of America!
Hand on heart, tear in eye, stars and stripes flapping in the front yard.
I have never been more proud to be American!...and i'm Canadian
1991 was a scary year. This commercial gave me the chills.
This video single-handedly brought down the Soviet Union. Americans air-dropped hundreds of VHS tapes of this video over East Berlin, and suddenly everyone was ready to mow down the Stasi to get themselves a Sizzler surf and turf combo.
