Wendy's commercials
(see also fast food)

The earliest Wendy's ads I remember (which were quite famous in the 1980s) featured an old woman (Clara Peller) going to other fast food places and asking "Where's the beef?" I'll just include one of those ads here. Then in the 90s and early aughts, there were a ton of ads featuring Dave Thomas, founder of Wendy's (until his death in 2002). He was quite likable, but none of the actual commercials were particularly memorable to me. Maybe someday I'll look for some to include here, maybe not. There have also been ads with various versions of "Wendy" over the years, including at least one animated one, and of course Dave Thomas's daughter, the real Wendy. And probably any number of other random ads, some of which I may have liked at the time, but I don't remember any of them.

But the reason I'm starting this page is for the "Now that's better" ads featuring a redhead character who is apparently called "Red" (I would have assumed she was meant to be another version of "Wendy," but I guess not), played by Morgan Smith Goodwin. The ads are slightly amusing, but mostly I like them because she's just so cute! So here are whatever ads with her I can find (and there are definitely more I wish I could find). Unfortunately, a lot of the ads that I put here end up vanishing from YouTube, so I have to look for replacements... but this became so common that finally I just decided to give up. So now when a vid stops working, I'll delete it from this page, and hope it wasn't one I particularly liked, not that I'd remember anyway. Some of the ones I (hopefully) still have include "I should dump him", "Defining Moment", "Spoiler", "visiting old friends/summer berry salad", "billion degree burrito", "bacon portabella melt", "berry almond chicken salad", "All By Myself", "Jury Duty/pretzel bacon cheeseburger", "mozzarella chicken supreme/holiday play". There's also a "Premium Cod/non-specific" ad that I found on iSpot.tv. After the "Red" ads, my YouTube playlist also has a funny new ad from 2016 (Remodeled Grilled Chicken Sandwich).
