Rebecca Black and Arbys Just Gave Us One Campy Ad and Free Fries on Friday
Hold onto your wigs and grab your dipping sauces Arbys just dropped the campiest National Fry Day promo we didnt know we needed, and it stars none other than Rebecca Black, the internets original Friday queen and now a bona fide LGBTQ+ icon.To celebrate National Fry Day which falls on a Friday this year (the math is mathing!) Arbys is offering free large curly fries with a $5 purchase for Rewards members in the app, from Friday, July 11 through Saturday, July 13. But what really sent the gays spiraling into a deep-fried fever dream was the brands chaotic and hilarious ad campaign, featuring Black herself in a very meta moment of curly-fried confusion.In the Instagram video thats already making the rounds on GayTok and beyond, Rebecca walks onto the set thinking shes there because of the RB connection as in Rebecca Black and Arbys. But when the off-camera producer tries to explain that its about National Fry Day, she looks genuinely (and iconically) bewildered. Wait, so this Friday is different than other Fridays? she asks, her voice dripping in early 2010s nostalgia and queer-coded camp.Rebecca Black for Arbys.

The comments section is a glorious mess of rainbow emojis, ITS FRYYYYDAYYYY GIFs, and people jokingly demanding a Rebecca Black x Arbys remix.Lets be honest: pairing Rebecca Blacks legacy of misunderstood viral fame with National Fry Day is low-key genius. Its like someone took a Tumblr meme from 2012, deep-fried it, and served it with extra gay seasoning.And yes, the internet is already thirsting for more RB x Arbys content. Imagine: Rebecca dramatically belting Its Fry-day, Fry-day, gotta dip fries on Fry-day while voguing through a drive-thru. The possibilities are endless and deliciously chaotic.So if youre craving something extra this weekend 0 and lets be real, you always are open that Arbys app and channel your inner Rebecca Black. Because whether its 2011 or 2025, were still obsessed with Fridays, and now we have curly fries to prove it.Source
