Ron Zook, who just recently left the banking industry to return to coaching with the Green Bay Packers has a star in the making with his daughter. I know I know, I’m still getting over the shock that the financial markets didn’t utterly collapse upon news of Ron Zook leaving the world of finance in order to return to NFL football.
Anyways, the ad, which you’ve seen a zillion times already if you’ve flipped on your television in 2014, is the most annoying, irritating and overplayed advertisement on television right now.
Which means the soulless and humorless marketers behind it are doing their job.
The promo is overbearing on our television landscape, and so brutal that I’m not going to even mention what the product is or what they’re hocking. But at least Zook’s daughter, the brunette, is far from the most annoying person in that spot. The redhead is certainly the biggest irritant in this fictional place depicted. And it was Ron Zook himself who broke the news. The former Illini and Gators head coach tweeted:
How about my daughter in the Wendy's commercial
