‘You Better Be Quiet Before I Stab You In The Face With My Ka-Knife.’

You know you’ve touched a cultural nerve when people start filming spoofs of your commercials.

Check out this amateur version of the “Two Guys In A Car” series of Sonic Drive-In commercials. This one’s pretty funny, too.

Speaking of Sonic, they have a new, heart-clogging product (their vainglorious ad copy follows below):

Just in time for the holidays, SONIC, America’s Drive-In debuts decadent Cheesecake Bites, the newest novelty to hit the SONIC dessert menu.  Creamy bits of traditional cheesecake rolled in a crunchy graham cracker crust present convenience and indulgence in a single poppable bite.  These magnificent mini pieces are sure to be a seasonal sensation, either alone or after a SONIC meal.  It’s the time of the year for sweets, so eat a little or go all out- and celebrate this December with the newest featured treat from SONIC.
