Drive-Thru Antics

"Yeah, let me get 23 cheeseburgers..."

My wife says "maybe we should park
We could just go eat inside"
I said "I'm wearin' bunny slippers
So I ain't leavin' this ride"

— "Weird Al" Yankovic, "Trapped in the Drive-Thru"

These are antics for when someone orders from the drive-thru window at the local Burger Fool. Common gags include a Big Eater customer ordering something huge and improbable (with something light to wash it all down), while the employee speaks in a bored monotone over the speaker.

A related trope is Wrong Restaurant, wherein a customer tries to order food that the restaurant doesn't sell. Compare with Toll Booth Antics, where this happens at a toll booth.

Examples:

Advertising

• In a Pepsi TV commercial from the 90s, a guy tries to order a combo meal from a fictional drive-thru, but the sound quality on the speaker is so terrible that he can't understand a word the cashier says. They go back and forth several times, and the customer gets so frustrated that he cancels his order, except for the Pepsi. When he pulls around to the pickup window, he discovers it wasn't the speaker's fault—the cashier actually sounds like a scratchy intercom all by himself.
• In this commercial for Super Mario Bros. Deluxe, a father is trying to order meals for his two sons from the fictional Timmy's Tacos restaurant. The employee at the drive-thru is playing Super Mario Bros. Deluxe on his Game Boy Color and saying insulting things like "Don't even think about it, pal!" and "You're not getting anything from me, mister!", causing the dad to drive away. When the next customer comes to the drive-thru, the employee says "Halt! Who goes there?"
• McDonalds:
  • A commercial for Tiny Toon Adventures Happy Meal toys naturally has this. The animated versions of Buster, Babs, Plucky, Hamton, and Elmyra are all hanging out in the car of a little boy and his father as they arrive at the drive-thru. As the father places his order, Plucky tricks him into ordering one hundred Happy Meals (when the father only meant to order one). The commercial ends with the employees bringing the father one hundred Happy Meals, to which the father asks, "Now what?". Hamton then says, "Better pop the trunk!" and dons a bib with the McDonald's logo.
  • A commercial for Disney's Tarzan Happy Meal toys features a mom asking her two children what they want for lunch. The children respond by yelling like Tarzan. When the mom arrives at the McDonald's drive-thru, she says "I'd like a salad and two [Tarzan yell], please."
  • This commercial for Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (2022) Happy Meal toys has Tails work at a McDonald's drive-thru. Sonic runs past him, and the footage of it is played in slow-motion, revealing Sonic to have taken several selfies of himself and Tails together and paid for his Happy Meal with a ring.
• This classic Rally's ad, starring Seth Green: [1].
• A Kids' WB! promo for The Cat&Bunny Warneroonie Super Looney Big Cartoonie Show has the casts Men in Black: The Series and Superman: The Animated Series ordering take-out from the "Big Cartoonie Cafe".
  Clark: I'll have a Pinky and the Brain, a Daffy, a couple of Foghorns, some Buttons & Mindy...
  Lois: Clark, leave some for the rest of us!
  Clark: And a Bugs Bunny, please.
  Lois: Pig.
• A Cartoon Network bumper has Eduardo, who is driving a car that he can barely fit in order potatoes at the drive-thru of a donut shop.
• One Where's the Beef? ad has Clara angrily driving around town to shout the titular slogan at various drive-thru places, which shut their windows on her mid-sentence.

Comedy

• Stand-up comedian Gabriel Iglesias is fond of pulling these. In his routines he describes using a high-pitched cheerleader voice to mess with drive-thrus that mess up his orders. He goes back around to order again, does so in his girly voice, pulls up with an intimidating look on his face knowing that he is not what they're expecting, and proceeds to hit them with the girly-voice. In later shows, he says that the drive-thrus in his neighborhood have wised up enough that, when he tries it on them, their response is "Okay, Gabriel, pull up."
• Denis Leary's special No Cure for Cancer has a bit about a man with a voicebox using the drive-thru at McDonald's.
• The Late Show with David Letterman did a few segments with Dave in the mid 90s. Dave would be an employee at Burger King or Taco Bell working the intercom and mess with the people in line. Some examples include telling a guy that the Taco Supreme would be a 90 minute wait or preorder it for tomorrow's lunch, asking one person to drive to the local supermarket to buy food for the store, and saying Prime Ribs with German potato salad was in a Kids Meal.
  • This was a carry over from Late Night, where Dave would go to some random McDonalds drive thru's and ask for a single item, one being small french fries but with 10 straws. Once he got to the window he would ask random questions to the workers.

The employees would be familiar with this trick, and one would imagine Wayne and his friends have done it frequently to them as well .

Orbulon goes off to collect pigs, thinking that because they're called "Hamburgers" they're made from ham. After you beat his games, he returns to the burger place to try to get them to take the pigs, but the cashier promptly denies him, stating he couldn't even cook them if he wanted, as he isn't allowed to work the grill yet.

Web Animation

• Homestar Runner goes particularly surreal with it. The burger restaurant Blubb-O's has a drive-thru speaker shaped like a cartoon whale, which can spontaneously appear anywhere, even miles away from any restaurant. (In fact, the Drive-Thru Whale, by itself, debuted in a cartoon before the rest of Blubb-O's restaurant did.) Those who try to place a drive-thru order find the voice on the other end is prone to confusing and vaguely disturbing non-sequiturs.
  Drive-Thru Whale: Sever your leg, please, it's the greatest day.
  Strong Bad: "Sever my leg"? "It's the greatest day"? I'm not sure I understand the transaction that's taking place here.

Webcomics

  Customer: I'd like a number 8 with ranch sauce, please.
  Dan McNinja: [over intercom] I saw a suspicious figure climbing the mountain by my house! I think he's going to steal a condor egg! Aren't those endangered, officer?
  Customer: Uh... Ranch. Sauce.

The original Alt Text for that page was Chris Hastings asking if any of his readers worked at a drive-thru, and encouraging them to record themselves pulling this stunt on a customer in Real Life. Someone actually did.

Homer then scoffs and says "Anything to get out of work."
  • In "The Regina Monologues", the double-decker bus tour the family is taking on their trip through London stops at Dame Judi Dench's Fish 'n' Chips. Homer is skeptical of the menu, which causes the employee to beg him to order for fear of retaliation from their Bad Boss herself.

    Patrick: The horn still works!
  • Another episode, appropriately titled "Drive-Thru", has Mr. Krabs turn a large hole in the Krusty Krab's wall into an extremely cheap drive-thru window. This leads to several issues: SpongeBob struggles to fit the food through the window and spills it on a customer, Pearl uses a megaphone to shout her order as a prank, and the ridiculous length of the drive-thru causes lengthy traffic and overwhelms SpongeBob and Squidward.
  • "Komputer Overload" begins with a customer at the drive-thru of the Chum Bucket, trying to order items that the Krusty Krab sells. Plankton angrily tells the customer that they don't sell any of those items, and if he wants any of those, he should go to the Krusty Krab.

Melodi, however, would not take "no" for an answer and DEMANDED some nuggets! She even went as far as punching the drive-thru employee in the face!. The whole thing was caught on the restaurant's security video and went viral (often with others adding hilarious sound and dialogue to the originally silent footage).
  Dushane (Gag Dub): “Don’t make me assume my ultimate form. I will fuckin’ wreck you!”
• There was a trend involving the driver taking their drink then immediately throwing it at the worker and speeding off, then uploading it as a "hilarious" video online.
