There is a Wendy’s commercial where USC/NFL football star Reggie Bush gives a Wendy’s employee a playful punch in the shoulder. The employee takes the hit but it obviously hurt the employee who responds by saying “Thank you, Reg.” The commercial can be seen here on YouTube.

The thing is, it sounded like the employee said “Thank you, bitch.” I did a quick internet search and saw others heard the same thing.

I just saw the commercial again and the employee’s line has been changed to “Thank you, Reggie.”

They knew…they knew all along.

I like their current series of Reggie Bush ads. He’s a decent actor.

The enthusiasm when they give him the re-introduced Pretzel Pub Sandwich (and not his Heisman).

“Not the drinks, man!” when they’re throwing things into the big Wendy’s bag he’s wearing.

"Thank you, Reginald." Woulda been better, does he even know him that well?

Why is it controversial? Did anyone involved care what it sounded like?

Just watched it, wasn't that bad of a hit and very much sounded like Reg... still not sure how this is controversial in any way.

I hear "Reg".

I guess people are going to hear what they want to hear.

If you watch his lips, it’s pretty clear he says Reg

Sounds like the commercial is getting a frosty reception



I apologize for the dad joke but couldn’t help myself. I’ll see myself out of this thread

I like them too. He comes across as a likable person who doesn’t take himself too seriously.

He says thank you Reg pretty clear. He was wincing, which made it sound like bitch.

I usually can't stand most athlete commercials but Reggie is pretty damn good in those

The voice guy for their commercials should get hit by a bus.

Of course it is small, somewhat submissive white guy

This is how they subtly program you

Let’s imagine if the races were reversed, shall we?
