Where did the phrase “Sir, this is Wendy’s” come from?

The meme format was first used in a 2011 tweet by @ethanhunter referring to the fast food restaurant chain Arby’s.

It may have been an episode that made Wendy’s a favorite place. office The title is “Chair Model”. Fan favorite Michael Scott (played by Steve Carell) receives a Wendy’s restaurant number as a prank after asking for potential dates. When he called, it was a Wendy’s, not a Hot Lady, and the employee replied, “No, this is a Wendy’s restaurant.”

What does it mean when someone says, “Sir, this is Wendy’s”?

It usually means that what you just said is so irrelevant that they think it’s the same as making a big announcement in the middle of a Wendy’s restaurant – to everyone there. They don’t care or understand what you’re saying or why you’re saying it. They’re just trying to get food. You say this to let the air out of someone’s balloon and make them feel stupid.

The phrase spread throughout the 2010s and became a fairly widespread response to other people’s tweets, moving from the joke format first popularized by @ethanhunter to a basic one-line reply.
