I love how he talks about the price of food and refusing to skimp on quality.

Wendy's has never been the same since the death of Dave Thomas.

Good ol Dave Thomas I remember seeing him on commercials when I was a kid. Always seemed like a down to earth and cool guy. RIP Mr. Thomas

I always enjoy seeing Dave Thomas in his own commercials. Between making them down to earth to making them funny, he never fails to make them enjoyable.

Other fast food burger places went out of their way to appeal to children, but even as a kid Dave’s ads are what made me a fan of Wendy’s.

The great thing about Dave is that he wasn't a professional actor. He was a bit stiff in his line reading, but he made that part of his persona and it was charming.

Take me back please 😢 i miss these days

These commercials with Dave were and still are so wholesome. God bless that man. Thank you for this compilation, Ethan! 🤗

My mom went to school with Dave Thomas’s daughter Wendy!!

Sad, right? I remember in the 80’s as a kid when a hamburger at McDonald’s was 59 cents and a cheeseburger was 69 cents. Craziness!

Super-sized meals are around $12, $13 now.

I miss Dave Thomas, AND how he was spokesman for his own restaurant by appearing in the commercials! I love that last one with Susan Lucci! 😊❤

Companies can no longer market in this manner because the corporatists have discarded any connection to the layman consumer. Dave at that time had already organized his company into a corporate structure and stayed on as a front man due to his connection to the consumer base. He learned many marketing lessons from Colonel Sanders in this regard (Dave used to work for Kentucky Fried Chicken). However, a man usually cannot outlive his globally marketed corporation and when he died, Wendy's became just another fast food pit without any discernable differences from its competitors in the marketplace.

Back when Wendys use to be affordable.

Lol love the ice melting at the hockey game!

I remember eating at the very first store built in Columbus. Last there in 1997. It's been closed down over 15 years ago.

“Lobster cappuccino” 😂 2:18

1:29 LOL. I work at Wendy's a single combo is now $10.80.

I miss Dave Thomas RIP

Accountability and integrity. It was his face in the commercials.

I worked at a Sunbury location 6 years ago.

R.I.P. Dave Thomas

It’s funny how one of his children’s first name is “Wendy Thomas”

I remember a lot of these

I miss their 90s fries

2.99 combo? If only

I finally saw the famous #1 Wendy's in Columbus Ohio.but when he died they didn't waste time to reduce the size of the jr bacon.

WHERE is their POST-Soviet Fashion Show ad?!
