Sizzler Promo Video

I'm speechless.

Fortunately, the folks at Esquire who discoved the video are not. I'll let them take it from here....

A food-service masterpiece that merits dissection

And someone should take this commentary and subtitle it over the video.

A++ Raising Heel. Your work here is done today, unless you want extra credit.

I liked Sizzler, ate there many a time . . . are there any still around . . ?

Wow. This is gold throughout, but the creepy whispered "Sizzzlerrrr" at the very end really brings it all together. The bleach blonde in the black leather miniskirt is a nice touch too. Would.

There is one in Goldsboro, NC. I still eat there sometimes when I go home. I played baseball in the Valley League in 1988 in Madison, Va. There was one in Culpepper!

Okay, thanks . .

We had 3 or 4 here in Northern Virginia at one time IIRC . .

Doesn't it, though? My college buddies (early 1990s) and I would drop that into the middle of conversations all the time*. Just a completely random non-sequitur as an inside joke. I don't remember anything else about Sizzler's advertising, but that part definitely resonated for its creepy and hilarious qualities.

*Is it any wonder I couldn't get a date in college?

I have to admit, took my wife on our first date to the Sizzler. I'm a big spender.
