What did the mitt represent?

At least you guys got a chance to retire! They blew up the poor clown!!!
Jack came later, so he must know – I wonder whether he’s always looking over his shoulder.
And Richard — yes! that King is the stuff of nightmares. Never could believe somebody thought he was a good idea.
But does this mean Burger King is a democracy now?

@cdwardThe “hand” from Hamburger Helper has fingers, and is still in commercials. The guy with the N is the Noid from old Domino’s pizza commercials…“Avoid the Noid.” Some of you are just too young to know this stuff!

With the sale of Arby’s to the lottery winner and the menu changes they lost at least one customer. Me.

The guy with the N on his chest was the Dominos “Noid”. You were supposed to order pizza from them so you would not be “annoyed”. Avoid the “Noid” was the catch phrase.

The claymation of the Noid commercials was done by Craig Bartlett, creator of “Hey Arnold”.

“On January 30, 1989, Kenneth Lamar Noid, a mentally ill customer who thought the ads were a personal attack on him, held two employees of an Atlanta, Georgia, Domino’s restaurant hostage for over five hours. After forcing them to make him a pizza and making demands for $100,000, getaway transportation, and a copy of The Widow’s Son, Noid surrendered to the police.5 After the incident had ended, police Chief Reed Miller offered a memorable assessment to reporters: “He’s paranoid.”6 Noid was charged with kidnapping, aggravated assault, extortion, and possession of a firearm during a crime. He was found not guilty by reason of insanity."
I love this! lol

@tcayer…the “Where’s the Beef” lady died a few years back. Sorry to say she won’t be rocking on the retirement porch.

And let’s not forget Rodney Alan Rippy, that cute little 5-year-old black kid with the big Afro ’do who shilled in the Jack In The Box commercials, back in the day.

what the heck is grimace supposed to be? does anyone know?
rhudeboye about 13 years ago
Agreed. Domino’s ingredients were much better in the late 80’s early 90s.
i use to have a stuffed Noid in the back window of my first car.
