The new Applebee’s commercial featuring Walker Hayes‘ “Fancy Like” is causing some mixed reviews.
Applebee’s has enlisted Walker Hayes and his song “Fancy Like” for a commercial featuring people on TikTok doing the viral dance for the song.
It looks like a good time and who knows, some are probably just frustrated with the catchiness of it all.
The song came out in June and has slowly taken over, first going viral on TikTok thanks to the dance created by Walker’s daughter, and now it’s taken over our TVs too. From college football to NASCAR.
Watch the commercial below. Sorry in advance if it gets stuck in your head the rest of the day.
Check out some of the fan reactions below.

Between college football’s return and #NASCAR….
Do NOT play the “Drink Every Time You See the Date Night at Applebees Commercial This Weekend” game. You will die.#NASCARPlayoffs #Southern500

I watch a ton of college soccer on ESPN+
That means I have seen this commercial approximately 659 times and counting.
I have never had a song so stuck in my head. #applebees https://t.co/RgV728Icl8

Stop airing this commercial @Applebees. This is bad engagement. I used to not think about you, but now I hate you. Stop the bleeding. Delete the file! Every time I hear it I’ll donate to TGI Fridays. Certainly it will roast in the Fire. Relent! Or I’ll join the Chilis street team

Goodnight from Boone Pickens.
Time go home and watch that Applebee’s commercial on repeat until I fall asleep or my brain fully rots, whichever comes first. pic.twitter.com/GYF3BduTnF
