30 Of The Most Spot-On Burns Wendy’s Delivered To People And Companies On Their National Roast Day This Year
When the beloved burger chain Wendy’s announces its made-up “#NationalRoastDay” holiday, you know the annual roastmaster has begun on Twitter. Its merciless flame will scold anyone who wants it, but beware of what you wish for because the brave ones standing are turned into charcoal.
When most companies try to look edgy and use social media to be funny, it often looks embarrassing. But Wendy’s seems in no mood for playing games. The rules are simple: you drop “roast me” below Wendy’s tweet and feel your room temp rising to an inferno. Then, Wendy responds, and you may regret asking for it.
Below, we collected some good roasts from X (Twitter), and oh boy, Wendy’s is nailing it so badly, I suspect Ricky Gervais is in charge of the account for a day. Psst! More funny roasts from Wendy’s previous Roast Days can be found here, here and here.

History Channel. With the award winning documentaries "Did videogames destroy the Mayan culture?" and "Gods have built Machu Picchu but than said Fück it and left the planet."
Used to love this channel, but their content has gotten outrageous. Same with The Learning Channel. It used to genuinely be an educational channel.
Soon you'll be dating yourself when you say "I remember when The History Channel had programs that were actually educational."
Load More Replies...The 'History' Channel should just change its name to 'Aliens & Nazis, Oh My'
Honestly you don't need to be in a nursing home to lose the remote! I lose it all the time
The best burn ever 🤣🤣🤣 I also love watching the History Channel, btw, so this was even funnier
The one show they had, "Decisive Battles", that had the most basic animation ever, always said "you can see this visual thanks to our brand new video game technology" lol
Wendy's: How does it feel to you knowing all your food is as healthy as cigarettes are to the elderly?
It's Gillette Venus - their first disposable razors for women were pink, and cost more than the same men's disposable razors.
Load More Replies...Nope, not even the strongest burn heal can soothe that, it's burnt to the ground like a crisp.
It’s not the first time that Wendy’s has made headlines for its brutal burns here on Twitter. Wendy’s notorious reputation started back in January 2017 when the fast-food chain hilariously clapped back at a Twitter user who, as Wendy's playfully accused, "had forgotten refrigerators existed." The brand made a bold and unapologetic statement, but people seemed to love this super sassy persona. The appeal only grew as it was a far cry from the cutest little redhead mascot. I mean, how dare she?!
Today, Wendy’s Twitter has a whopping 3.8M followers to compare with only 1.9M followers of its competitor Burger King. What’s more, the fast food giant is credited with setting the tone for how brands interact with followers on social media. And this is not something you’d read in marketing books, on the contrary. According to Vulture, brands had already ditched the promotions and started speaking directly to their clients, but it was Wendy's who made this approach an art form—and a viral one at that—with its specific kind of comedy.
Looks more like Dobby dressed as Shaggy to me, green shirt and all.
Oh my gosh this is incredible. Is it bad that I can see it?
Exactly. A pair of cheap thumbtacks in your eyes will get the same result.
I run into my furniture and also walls with perfect vision, I don't want to think about what would happen if I was blindfolded or something
Load More Replies...😂😂 not gonna lie...I do have VR and am in love with it. #burnfreeze (previously brain freeze)
Now I'm just waiting for Wendy's to show them all the virtual salt they brought with them.
Meanwhile, Wendy's Chief Concept and Marketing Officer Kurt Kane told the press that with their Twitter tone, they’re indeed working the fine line: "We want to be likable and sassy. We don't want to be seen as sarcastic and rude. But we walk a fine line."
The truth is, direct marketing on social media that is all about brands posting ads, promo offers and anything in between doesn't get customers engaged. On the contrary, it repels them as something forced, outdated and tacky. But Wendy’s direct communication has an appeal unlike any other. Roasting just adds spice to it and pushes their Twitter into a whole new level of entertainment.
After reading these, I'm kinda tempted to get a Twitter account just to follow Wendy's! Hahahaha!
Jagermeister tastes like bile. If you've ever thrown up in your mouth then you know what jagermeister tastes like.
I feel they could have gone a different direction towards the parents exploiting their kid.
Over priced cheap tech as a fashion statement. The Apple marketing scheme.
Load More Replies...Uber eats sounds like what we used to have after were done behind the garage. (Kid Rock reference)
As a VERY long time T-Mobile customer (as in since 1997 when they were VoiceStream) , I can confirm.
@Wendys I've had your 10 pc and I'd rather have the 1 bar cell service. At least I can order something better than Wendy's.
I've been in USA and lots of beer was like that... As a person who doesn't like getting drung fast, I kinda like it...
While it's true that most mass-produced US beer is fairly weak, the roast is referring to the horrendous taste of Busch Light. It's more like beer-flavored water than actual beer.
Load More Replies...As I read once: "American beer is like making love in a canoe: fúcking close to water"
Ugh-every beer I've tasted is nasty to me, & I tried many kinds; all of it stinks, too.
As someone's who lives in St Louis, I don't know anyone that would enjoy a Busch beer. Of course their descendants do have a good run on coke & hookers.
What's so bad about that particular state? Edit: For those who answered, I'm just wondering why they think we shouldn't have animals or pets in Nebraska. I'm not asking y'all to list why you don't like Nebraska. (I'm adding the climate to that list though)
Low population and nothing to do. Oh, and corn. They have LOTS of freaking corn.
Load More Replies...If you want to be humane, take the humans out of nebraska. This is corns country now...
Nebraska is like golf, it's set up to do better the less time your there!
the phrase fourteen year old vape lord makes me think of darth Vader
In the olden days, we had to go do that behind the garage like Kid Rock said!
Lol given how many people get sick every year, it probably feels pretty good.
I drank Gatorade for the stomach flu and always ended up throwing it up. I hate Gatorade to this day.
Ooooh! I hope there's a request from @PeptoBismol down on the list
I drink pedialyte propel and ice water and tea. Literally would n e v e r drink powerade for any ailment. M a y b e gatoraide but it cant be one of their strong heart burn inducers
Literally not a roast, because the candy does actually contain edible wax...
Eeeeyugh. Energy drinks. As a "conesuer" tho.. Bang is far worse. And NOS and RedBull. At least monster has vitamins. And flavors. And doesnt parch me as bad. My PCT teacher did a lil study thing one and discovered monstee isnt as bad as it seems. But the caffine is still WHOO. Thank god they make AMAZING teas and rehabs 🤤
But it turns into a different one the MAGAts will drink to cure Covid.
Ouch. I actually think the opposite. Lol Rhett looks like the unibomber
lol...I think their hair AND their content has gotten better over time!
They're the best!! YouTube creators of GMM
Load More Replies...you could've said that oreo was originally a rip off of another beand
Wendy's is absolutely right. You shouldn't have to add anything to make something palatable.
I tried one (my boyfriend got it in an assorted pack thing) and I actually didn't find it bad. Wouldn't go out of my way for it, but I've had worse
Load More Replies...That's three different kinds of disgusting rolled into a single product.
I take extreme offence at all iterations of Bud Light - it's the beer for people who don't like beer.
then I should try. Fingers crossed. I prefer the strong stuff such as scotch, bourbon, vodka, whiskey, tequila, etc because everything else alcoholic is too weak for me.
Load More Replies...If you get a dictionary, you are either really smart or really dumb
Load More Replies...I swear it must be Ryan Reynolds doing the roasting on behalf of Wendy's.
That would be kind of ironic considering that is his gin brand.
Load More Replies...I love that this a burn on Aviation Gin and on Ryan Reynolds at the same time.
He is a lovely human being but very “meh” as an actor.
Load More Replies...perfect. my first deep belly lol of the day. thanks
Load More Replies...damn!!!!! we even got confirmation!!! LOloloolo
Load More Replies...Aaaaah! I literally googled what Semrush was before reading wendy's reply! LMAO!
I dont know Wendy's, Hot Topic gives them some stiff competition in that area!
0-0 ain't wrong though, I have a Garfield one and a Timon one, and Timon scares me
i have helpy (from five nights at freddy's), eevee, and sylveon
Forgive me if this is too dark, but how about: "When you said you were going to kill on stage, we thought you were speaking figuratively."
Oh... That... That one actually got me. As somebody who played Infinite the day it came out that just hits close to home. It also reminds me that 343 hasn't actually done much to fix that yet... Although I'm giving Wendy's points for doing their research!
She is very wholesome, sweet and quite beloved. They simply didn't have the heart...it would be like roasting Mr. Rogers or Keanu Reeves....
Load More Replies...I mean, Wendy's is clearly interested in it. But my question is, will it be 10,000 words, or... 100,00 words? Are they going so far as to say it'll be so bad that it won't have any real words? I am intrigued by this one, very much so.
Coincidentally, the new overwatch Lego set for delayed/canceled(exact outcome to be determined). This update about the set came out before this tweet so it is likely referencing that delay/cancellation.
Lego pulled the sets due to the ongoing sexual harassment suit at Activision/Blizzard. That's the joke, and it's hilarious.
Load More Replies...St. Louis doesn't like to admit it's actually in Missouri - it truly believes it's an East Coast city, lol
Is it because they have indoor plumbing and they can read and write?
Load More Replies...Wendy's is one of the few companies that knows how to use social media.
To bad they don't know how to pay living wages to be able to keep up with eating and a humane standard of existence. Their wit is definitely unmatched, I just wish their heart was a match with those good people working there.
Load More Replies...I don't know how much Wendy's pays the person who runs their social media, but unlike most big brands it's actually worth it.
If it is a single person, they're quite the wit. I'm guessing it's more than one person, maybe even a whole staff...
Load More Replies...I think I'm in love with whoever runs the Wendy's Twitter account
I can't help but wonder if they get Ryan Reynolds to do the annual roast. Seems right up his alley...and they did roast his gin company...
I would had roasted Wendy's instead of them roasting me. Start with, "I don't know which is worse, your breakfast or your choice of slogans: Hot-N-Juicy - 1977-1980 Parts is Parts - 1983-1984 Do what tastes right - 2004-2007 Are just a few of theirs.
