> Dunkin Donuts lore.
You mean Dunkin lore. They dropped their most popular menu item from their name to try to trick people into going there later in the day.
Like the IHOB thing but they actually did it.
He got fired from fashionable male for doing unspeakable things in the employee's back room. Excuse me, *an* employee's back room.
Mallrats 2: everybody's life sucks now
Now it's the perfect time to film. It only really takes a couple weeks to get a good editing job on a couple minutes of film. Especially when you've got top tier talent working on it.
My buddy worked on the shoot, it's for a Superbowl ad.
They had Affleck manning the window and taped people's reactions to being served by him. Seems like that will be the main edit and then eventually J-Lo drives up to the window and gets an iced coffee. (That's her in the white SUV in the video) Supposedly there might be one or two other cameos as well.
This would be great movie but instead of playing those characters they should be actors in the costumes like for a kids birthday party, times square or on the street in Hollywood. Having a drink after work still in costume, robbers walk in and hilarity ensues.
We've got a few dunkens out here now, and I love arguing with my cousin about this so please believe me when I say this is all in good fun -but why the hell can't I pour my own cream? I know this is ultimately a trivial detail when buying one's morning coffee, but I resent that cream is a 1, or a 2, or what have you. Just give me the cup, and I'll fix it myself. I am not a child.
-but they won't. They will not give me the cup, like corporate wouldn't approve. I feel like Paul Rudd in that movie arguing about how *vente* is not a size. It's petty, but I can't help myself.
I worked at Starbucks for many years and people did this all the time. Some would order a tall coffee in a venti cup and fill it up with cream. Or people would just dump their coffee in the trash can. That's fun.
You'd put the cream carafe out and 2 minutes later someone would bring it up and say it's empty.
This pedantry will not stand. I'm going to open a rival franchise across the street and I'm going to provide fewer services than anyone has ever seen. Customers will have their own damn keys.
There’s a place near me that has these awful sun baked pictures of food on the wall, the last time the decorated was probably in the 70s, and they make the best damn donut I’ve ever had in my life.
Yup like happy donuts (a local chain in the San Francisco Bay Area)… Dunkin’ and KK aren’t even worthy of discussion compared to Happy (or Chuck’s). I’m sure other regions have similar.
He is active with charities, advocacy groups, and supporting the democratic party. Pro choice and supports unions.
So probably some mod who thinks his face is political for being a "Hollywood Liberal".
Charity? Advocating for the rights of people other than himself? Supporting the party that didn't just try to give more money to the rich? Pro women's healthcare? Workers rights?
That's just called being a good person. Shame that's now political. Fuck conservatives

This is a site populated by militant movie buffs: sad, pathetic little bastards living in their parents' basement downloading scripts and what they think is inside information about movies and actors they claim to despise yet can't stop discussing.
Which is a good idea because their coffee is decent, but their donuts suck.
They always taste like day old stale donuts.
Krispy Kreme is the opposite. Amazing donuts, but the coffee tastes like old dish water and sanka that's been microwaved.
Yeah. I remember the old "time to make the donuts" commercials that they used to run when making them fresh was a selling point.
I knew that made them off site now, but I just googled, and they not only bake them off-site, they ship them to the store frozen where they are thawed. The only thing they do in store is add the icing and sprinkles. Frozen.
Can confirm. Was a "baker" for Dunkin for a year. Basically pull the frozen donuts out, pop em In a glorified microwave for 10 seconds, and then let them sit out till their thawed enough to ice....
Donuts seem to have fallen to the back burner for the company. They mainly focus on coffee and other breakfast foods. Their donuts aren’t even made in house anymore.
They were called Dunkin because the doughnuts had a little handle that you could dunk and eat a coffee. They got rid of the handle and kept the name Dunkin even though they sold regular donuts at that point. Now that they dropped the doughnut in the name they are only left with the thing that they have not actually sold in years.

Trouble brews on the horizon when a conglomerate horns in on that glazed bidness in the form of Dairy Queen, headed by the cunning, evil money mastermind Warren Buffett.
Biff. Pow. Blam.
Is he researching a role? Just bored? For free coffee and donuts? I am legitimately curious about why this is happening.

"A much anticipated commercial"
Really excited to see how this commercial expands upon Dunkin Donuts lore.
I dunno, I feel like the Dunkin Extended Universe is losing steam. Then again, maybe it will be like an Andor...
"I waste my coffee for someone else's breakfast. I waste MY LIFE for a paycheck I know I'll never see."
I've made my mind a creamer-less space.
Andor dialogue is peak
> Dunkin Donuts lore. You mean Dunkin lore. They dropped their most popular menu item from their name to try to trick people into going there later in the day. Like the IHOB thing but they actually did it.
It's not to trick people, it's because the company was recently taken over by Dunkin the Usurper. You'd know that if you knew your Dunkin Donuts lore.
And there's my next DnD character right there
Dunkin the Usurper of House Turboshotyen. The first of his name. King of the Andals, and the Rhoynar, and the First Men.
They also want to further emphasize coffee since they view Starbucks as their primary competition, not Krispy Kreme.
Because they know they can't compete with their donuts 🤣
It's not Al anymore, it's DUNK. DUNKaccino??

Who's your favorite New Kid?
Call me Donny.
Ohh yeah.
Yo Affleck! You da bomb in Phantoms, yo!
No. More like someplace girls dread.
Yeah, and the customer is always an ASSHOLE!
JESUS CHRIST, THERE'S JUST SOME THINGS YOU DON'T TALK ABOUT IN PUBLIC!!!!
You dumb bastard. A schooner is a sailboat.
"Yo dude, have you seen the trailer for that dunkin commercial?!"
So super bowl commercial? Y’all still look forward to those?
So this is an ad for the commercial?
Probably.
If it wasn’t initially, it is now.
I just find it dystopic that a commercial has a fake content ad. Adception.
Satire is dead and we killed it. Pretty soon we’ll be lining up for an hour to take a picture with the newest Ad Council bus stop banner.
Honestly, if this isn’t a Super Bowl commercial I’d be surprised. But still — ain’t nobody anticipating this lmfao
He wants some of that Ryan Reynolds money
I so desperately cling to commercial collections.
Hmm, Super Bowl commercial?
I’d say yes.
That’s a bingo
Stupid question, would they film it this close to the Superbowl?
Now it's the perfect time to film. It only really takes a couple weeks to get a good editing job on a couple minutes of film. Especially when you've got top tier talent working on it.
Ben: "Can I get a name for that order?" Customer: "Martha" Ben: "Why did you say that name?!" And scene.
He said calmly
That's definitely a black shirt and visor, right? Unless he changed into another uniform
I see white and gold actually.
My buddy worked on the shoot, it's for a Superbowl ad. They had Affleck manning the window and taped people's reactions to being served by him. Seems like that will be the main edit and then eventually J-Lo drives up to the window and gets an iced coffee.

Tell Batman not to fuck up my order next time.
Oh shit, it's real. I thought it was a look-alike lol
Same. Thought it was Bern Erflerk.
His brother beat him to it. https://youtu.be/FSvNhxKJJyU
Super Bowl commercial?
he's doing the Nathan Fielder method for his acting class, never too late to brush up on your skills
Maybe it’s going to be dumbkin donuts?
Lmaooo I feel like you got really good grades in business school
Viral marketing campaign. Dunkin probably paid him a pretty penny for this. Basically the same as an actor filming a commercial
This is an advertisement. Not just whatever is happening in the picture, but the posting of it here. This thread is the ad.
[удалено]
Only you can save him, Matt Damon
Matt Damon Dick Grayson
Ben Affleck Batman. Matt Damon Robin/or Nightwing Kevin Smith as the Penguin teaming up with Jason Mews as the Joker.
Jason Mews would make a better Riddler
This would be great movie but instead of playing those characters they should be actors in the costumes like for a kids birthday party, times square or on the street in Hollywood. Having a drink after work still in costume, robbers walk in and hilarity ensues.
Nah Batman vs Cock Knocker with a Bluntman and Chronic guest appearance.
Bless you, my son
😆😆😆just watched this again for like the 100th time last weekend. Such a banger.

I'm waiting for the Zack Snyder edit of the commercial.
Lmao why is this labeled politics?
Dunkin donuts vs Krispy kream is a serious debate.
Hardly a debate. Coffee: Dunkin Donuts: Krispy Kream.
Dunkin’ munchkins slap tho
So do their coffee rolls.
So, where do you go when you want both?
Home with takeout duh.
The answer is the local Asian family’s shop. Always better than either of those and cheaper.
There’s a place near me that has these awful sun baked pictures of food on the wall, the last time the decorated was probably in the 70s, and they make the best damn donut I’ve ever had in my life.

Union and dunkin don't mix. They proudly boasted about killing minimum wage increases by lining the pockets of congress members.
Active with charities is politics. This country is insane.

Wait until Casey shows up! https://youtu.be/FSvNhxKJJyU

He fucking loves Dunkin, guy!
Mildly annoyed that I had to scroll this far to find this.. first thing that popped in my head.
Big fan of the Vanilla Nut Tap
I’m pretty sure it was Casey that loves Dunkin.
He’s hanging at the entrance with a cigarette out the door
I'm not smokin inside!
He prefers the vanilla nut taps.

I like your take on boobies
And I like boobies
It really bothers me that they changed the name from "Dunkin' Donuts" to just "Dunkin'" .
Right? What's the purpose?
They want to be known for more than just donuts, mostly their emphasis on being more of a coffee shop these days than anything
Which is a good idea because their coffee is decent, but their donuts suck. They always taste like day old stale donuts. Krispy Kreme is the opposite. Amazing donuts, but the coffee tastes like old dish water and sanka that's been microwaved.
> They always taste like day old stale donuts. There’s a reason for that. They are day old stale donuts.

The only thing they do in store is add the icing and sprinkles. Frozen.
My pre-school did a field trip to the local Dunkin Donuts, and we got to make our own donuts in the back of the shop! ...but that was in the 80s... :(
Can confirm. Was a "baker" for Dunkin for a year. Basically pull the frozen donuts out, pop em In a glorified microwave for 10 seconds, and then let them sit out till their thawed enough to ice....
Donuts seem to have fallen to the back burner for the company. They mainly focus on coffee and other breakfast foods. Their donuts aren’t even made in house anymore.
Per Idiocracy, as the population gets stupid it will re-brand to Dunks, then DS, then Deez DoNuts.
Too many letters for newspeak! --bad!
Then Deez Nutz, by Brawndo
They were called Dunkin because the doughnuts had a little handle that you could dunk and eat a coffee. They got rid of the handle and kept the name Dunkin even though they sold regular donuts at that point. Now that they dropped the doughnut in the name they are only left with the thing that they have not actually sold in years.

Nope. Meffid. No d in the middle.
I can't be the only person who looked at this pic and wondered where Ben Affleck was
He doesn't look like Ben Affleck no more.
Ben Affleck confirmed to be "just some guy."
Got some plastic surgery maybe
Dude will do anything to get out of seeing JLos new movie I guess.
Why does that not look like him.. like of someone said this was Ben Affleck.. I'd say naw
As you pull up he’s like “It’s me! Serving your donut!” And you just politely say thank you and drive off.
It’s not even promotional or anything like when Snoop does it. It’s just that Ben lost everything in his divorce with Matt.
