Many people are coming to this video by way of reddit. Hi! Hello! This is the vlogbrothers YouTube channel. This will probably represent the peak of our Rax-related content, so if you are looking primarily for Rax-Facts, you may not want to subscribe. You happen to be visiting in the midst of Pizzamas. Do you need a strange t-shirt featuring a mustachioed man in various incarnations? Well, then, have I got news for you: pizzamas.com/ -John

“You can eat here” is hilarious. That would totally work today
-
In 2020, “you can eat here” is now a bold claim
-
The real shame of it is that if Rax came out with ads like this today, it probably would be an instant hit. Rax literally discovered shitposting a generation or two too soon.
-
Imagine a world where Rax survived and a Mr. Delicious twitter account was going at it with Wendy's.
-
The funny thing is that these days, these commercials would've been so prime for meme material that their ads may have actually worked.
-
this gives me strong adult swim vibes, the jazz in the background, the salesman randomly talking about therapy and the weird tag line.
-
The fact that somebody sold the idea of Mr. Delicious to a company is a testament to their marketing ability.
-
Mr. Delicious is absolutely goddamn hilarious, especially with the line delivery. He really does feel like a jaded 1950s vaccuum cleaner salesman who has no idea how to market roast beef sandwiches. I want him unironically to make a comeback.
-
"You can eat here." Truly one of the restaurants of all time.
-
Rax : You'll not gonna get the joke, but your grandchildren will love it
-
Mr. Delicious looks like Hank Hill as a 1960's door-to-door vacuum salesman and sounds like Carl Sagan if he weren't enthusiastic about anything.
-
The fact mr delicious has a 15 minute long documentary is insane
-
"You can eat here" is one of the best slogans I've ever heard
-
I'm genuinely concerned for the guy that said "Mr. Delicious reminds me of my dad".
-
The fact that Mr. Delicious arrives in the infamous Corvair, the car deemed 'unsafe at any speed' adds another meta element to the character.
-
First, I just want to say that I REALLY appreciate how short this video is. Videos like this, on topics like this, are often 10-30 minutes in length and it's totally unnecessary. So thank you. Second, I don't actually think this was a bad ad campaign, it was just WAY ahead of its time. It was all about subversion, and if this had hit in the late 90s or after I think it would have done pretty well.
-
"You can eat here" was a terrible catchphrase. It should've been "Give money, get food"
-
I think Rax was just a parody fast food company full of satire trying to see how long they can last
-
Honestly, Mr D seems like another case of being ahead of your time can be just as lethal as being behind the times.
