These potato cakes NEVER looked good to me but this campaign has been so f'ing good that I know I'm going to have to order them next time I'm feeling Arby's...which is now "under the clock" with this being a limited time offer...er, order. THE order! Color me persuaded! ;)
Kyle Maclachlan is the perfect foil for this ad campaign. I would not think twice about buying this at Arby’s if not for him. Great diversified actor from The Hidden to Portlandia. He was also an occasional customer at my store 40 years ago. Just a nice soul.
The Captain, easily my favorite character throughout the entirety of How I Met Your Mother, not to mention his very funny turn as a villain on Agents of SHIELD and his lead roles in both a favorite movie (Blue Velvet) and a favorite TV series (Twin Peaks).
He’s still got it. I know him well from David Lynch projects. If I was my age 40 years ago and found myself at your store while he was there…you’d have to chase me off with a broom.😂
Hopefully at some point someone at Arby's considers an excited Napoleon Dynamite for a future commercial. Tater Tots? Potato Cakes! Oops, too late. Ora-Ida's Tot-Protecting Pants....
Illuminating! You actually got me to sit through an entire commercial! That might have been the first commercial I've sat through in many years. Congratulations on the Mc Masonic wedges.
One of the best commercials I've seen anywhere. Surprised that a corporate chain would think outside the box like this. The fact that David Lynch's son, I mean, Kyle maclahlan, stars in it, is beyond my wildest expectations.
This is the only item worth going to Arby’s for tbh. And 2 years ago, after not being at an Arby’s for some time, I was forced to eat at one for lunch but felt relief when I remembered the potato cakes with Arby’s sauce. Mmmm… well I was informed that they no longer sold the potato cakes and thus began my spiral. I pass by an Arby’s every day and think about the potato cakes. Please keep them forever. I’m really not sure why anyone goes to your establishment if it isn’t for the potato cakes. I’m frankly surprised you all didn’t fall into bankruptcy in their absence.
@@katrinap6905 That's it. You've done it. You have it all figured out. You probably also knew I was a manager for Arby's for about 5 years, but hey, who's counting? Lol. Later tater- I mean, uh, you deep fried hash brown lover. 🤣
yes .. Yes ... YES! Why, oh why, did you have to go away my one true side love. How I've missed you and your mouth searing goodness. Now that my tongue has healed, I look forward to that delightful small punishment again to enjoy your potatoey delight. That crusty exterior. That delicate interior. The grease stains on my shirts. This is truly a holy moment in time and must not be wasted. Quick .. to the church of all the meats! Oh .. and the commercial was an immediate classic. Well done.
Thank you. My mom loved Arby's potato cakes, and she passed away last year. I can finally complete the ritual sacrifice of a Classic Beef'N'Cheddar with 2 potato cakes in her memory.
Yes!... I love it...The Dharma Intitiative meets actual Lynchian legend ...to bring us what?....The VERY missed 🥔 🎂! Now I need to get a Beef n Cheddar with a large order of potato cakes...and re-watch Twin Peaks!... Happy Days!
My first real job was working at Arby’s when I was 15. I fell in LOVE with them, and ate many of them over the DECADES. I’m now 65. KEEP THE POTATO CAKES ON THE MENU FOREVER!
Additional, years ago I spent a week working in Minneapolis, Arby's was the only restaurant open when i finished my day. Potato cakes were my nightcap along with some local beer. Goid times.
Bringing back that weird early 1980's kind-cult sub culture is so appreciated. Staying up on Friday and Saturday nights to catch this weird zany shows were great! I am going to Arby's today! 🥰
I Was Soo Upset when they took away the Potato Cakes and even MORE Furious when I found out they still had them in stock, in the Restaurant, but would only let you order them at breakfast !!!! Before this terrible thing was done to us, I never ate at Arby's without ordering Potato Cakes. Don't take them away from us again ,Promise !!!!!!!! 🤔🙄
I’m so happy I stumbled across this. Brilliant. It made my night. Oh, and did I ever tell you about when I worked at the largest Arby’s in the country? It was back in ‘78 in downtown LA… ok, I’ll stop now…☺️
"The powers that beef"...the shoes...so much going on... I've watched this 3 times & could watch it 3 more times & still not be done watching it. Brilliant.
The moment you shred the potato in a potato cake is the moment it transforms itself... into a hash brown. It is merely identifying as a potato cake, but it was assigned hash brown at birth.

The sequel to David Lynch's Dune is different than I expected, but I like it.

Nah. What I see is one of Bud's Buds and former Vault 33 overseer Hank MacLean ... i.e., Lucy's dad.
It’s pretty much what I expected. It’s just missing the ending where he is blinded and walks off alone into the desert
Instead of spice, it’s potato cakes with spice!
For he IS the Quidnachpaddywhack !
The Analog synth score, the late 70s corporate brutalism, the Kodachrome saturation. And of course, Kyle. I'm in love.

I now want the Arby's potato cakes, too!! ;-)
The commercial is a 10/10.
I’m gonna go watch twin peaks now.
He wants those potato cakes fried hard. He knows it's hard on the arteries. Just as hard as he wants those potato cakes fried.
No wait, no wait! It was supposed to make you want food from Arby's! 😧
He’s an actor with a very long career, and here you are, treating him like a ONE TRICK PONY, BUTTERS!
It made me realize it's time to watch it again!!
I’m with you there!☕️
Did he ask his hair stylist to give him the "Ray Wise"
How the turntables
I was thinking more the 'Laura's dad".
No he went in and just started saying “oh mares eat oats and does eat oats and little lambs eat ivy…”
He needs his Gamonbozia...now in easy to carry potato cake form !

This needs to win every advertising achievement award. Truly a master course in what makes a good commercial.

I don't think Arby's has burgers.

Maybe, are those dentures? Because it looks like Kyle has a nice set of pearls in that mouth.
I wouldn't need to pay for commercial free YT if commercials were this good. Funny to be deliberately watching an ad on a premium account 😄

Imagine how much better those potato cakes would taste if you hadn’t remodeled all the restaurants into gray boxes!
I love Kyle's character's awkward pauses and barely concealed fanaticism.
Kyle MacLachlan was Awesome in the Hidden sci-fi horror and I also found this parody hilarious.
So, in Demolition Man, only Tacobell survives. In Fallout, only Arby's makes it.

Just as long as the "mini-tunes" are still popular, I'm fine with that...
I worked at Arby’s and when they discontinued the Potato Cakes people were livid. Potato Cakes have fans. The Arby’s Potato Chips had no fans.
