Let’s get ready to rumble! It’s no secret that companies exist in a perpetual atmosphere of competition, vying for control of the market, and fighting over limited resources, clients, and ideas. However, not all companies are created equal when it comes to their social media game.

That’s where the r/CompanyBattles subreddit comes in. It’s an online community that’s home to nearly 85k internet users who absolutely adore some of the casual social media stunts that well-known brands pull off. From Microsoft and GameStop to Wendy’s and everything in between, the folks running these companies’ social media profiles like to have some fun. What follows are some of the sassiest, most hilarious, and most unexpected things that these brands have posted online. All for your viewing pleasure, Pandas.

Go on, check out the posts below and remember to upvote the ones that impressed you the most as you continue scrolling. Don’t forget to share your opinion about companies pretending to be actual people in the comment section at the bottom of this list.

MS28764 Report

The ‘Company Battles’ subreddit is fairly new, having celebrated its 3rd birthday at the end of August. The moderating team is compact as well, with only 2 moderators keeping the entire online group in check.

However, what the subreddit has plenty of are rules. There are 10 of these commandments that members of the group absolutely must follow. Most obviously, everyone has to do their best to stay civil and polite.

There’s absolutely no bullying allowed on r/CompanyBattles and redditors have to mind their own business, not posting any private information about any people who might end up being featured alongside the globally-recognized brands while they’re showing off their media game and witty comebacks.

ADVERTISEMENT

What’s more, community members should strive to share only high-quality posts. If something’s low-quality, an ad, or very clearly spam, it’s going to get removed. After all, some companies might try to advertise on the subreddit itself in a very sneaky manner (though we hope they have more sense than that!). That’s also part of the reason why posts should only feature screenshots without any links.

When Gamestop Roasts You

When Gamestop Roasts You

GameStop Report

Some time ago, I reached out to financial expert Sam Dogen from the Financial Samurai blog, to have a chat about income inequality in companies. CEOs of major brands can end up earning millions of dollars each year (alongside hefty bonuses and great perks) while those further down the chain can sometimes barely scratch together a living. However, the reasons for this aren’t always clear.

Sam pointed out that the financial system has created an extreme dichotomy between the very fortunate and regular Pandas like you and me.

Wendy's Is Not Scared Of Nobody

Wendy's Is Not Scared Of Nobody

Wendys Report

“CEOs have no magical powers. Yes, they have the operational experience to run big companies. However, they are often just spokespeople and ambassadors of the firm. One person cannot make that big a difference in a large organization. If Tim Cook from Apple steps down, the company will be fine. Another overpaid CEO will take his place,” the financial expert explained to Bored Panda that CEOs aren’t all-powerful or always extremely talented.

“The reason why CEOs can get paid so much is due to the direct correlation of the size of the company. When a company is worth hundreds of billions of dollars, it’s easier to pay a CEO tens of millions of dollars a year, which comprised mostly of stock options,” Sam said.

“At the end of the day, the CEO and the Board of Directors’ goal is to provide as much value and returns as possible for its shareholders. And if that means firing thousands of employees, then that is what they will do. It is a sad reality of extreme capitalism,” the expert explained to Bored Panda that those at the top of the company will do whatever it takes to keep it afloat. In most cases, the bottom line is more important to them than the livelihood of their employees.

Generally speaking, replies such as 'OK boomer' that have no real reference to the original argument are so superficial and stupid. I mean, you downplay someone's argument because of their age, wtf? (Not a boomer, btw).

Thank you!!! And it drives me crazy - and shows the ignorance of people who say that to anyone older than 40! My 16 yo daughter called me a boomer once, and I reminded her there is a gen x, of which I am. She actually googled it, and proved herself wrong. A stellar, gleaming moment!!

I am a boomer and was born a couple of years after WW2 and I agree that that the expression 'OK boomer' has 'no real reference to the original' remark and is 'superficial and stupid.' The so called 'baby boom' referred to babies born from 1945 to sometime in the 60s. Millions of people. So right off the bat it's a stupid and superficial phrase as are the other cliches referring to other generations.

Ok boomer is kind of dismissive, but that's the point. It is turning the tables on how dismissive boomers have been to millennials, who have been blamed for everything from the housing market to why diamonds sales have declined.

I really hate how we've somehow evolved into categorizing people like this. I won't tell you what colloquially named generation I fit in to but, I can tell you I really hate when people stick me into a group. An entire generation is not made up of people who are all the same.

I've come to the conclusion that most people cannot function unless they're wailing about "other" groups to which they do not belong. This is one of the many ways BSAB. (Oh noes, that horrible four-letter acronym again!! DOWNVOTE, DEAR GOD DOWNVOTE!!! WAAH!)

All of the generational terms are nonsense in my opinion. Baby Boomers were born 1946-1964, Gen X were 1965-1979. Who do you think has more in common, two people born in 1946/1965 or two people born 1964/1965? Someone born near the end of the span has much more in common with the generation to follow, than with someone born at the beginning of the span. I think, as a general rule, people are mainly using the generational terms... boomer, millennial, X-Y-Z as a way to create division where none truly exists. https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2021/10/18/its-time-to-stop-talking-about-generations

I've always thought the "okay boomer" line was stupid and disrespectful. In a world were we're not supposed to be generalizing an entire group of people we still find new ways to do it. So don't generalize people unless it's against a group of people you yourself do not like. Got it.

It is used to disparage one group of people. Once people from that same group object, we can talk; the problem is that boomers don't stand up fro the disparaged, only other white people.

No they weren't. Most Baby Boomers are in their 60's and 70's at this point. I didn't see many elderly storming anything.
