I love/hate how Roger points out that everyone - customer, driver, restaurant - loses.

[Wiia]

"Ask for forgiveness, not permission, am I right?" That freaking line, though.

[kenamreemas]

"you get money in your bank account, which roger cannot get his hands on"... ohh boi.. guess who owns the bank?

[TheVincentKyle]

Also, an ad for a superfluous middleman app in a skit skewering superfluous middleman apps is a statement. Not a good one.

[mightywarrior]

"What did you expect from a company that gives you no healthcare, insurance, or pension; pays less than minimum wage as you ruin your car, and sends you into murder situations daily?"

I couldn't have summed it all up more perfectly than that. Though, I'll add a few more:

▶ Doesn't help with gas.
▶ Only pays you just enough money to get food and pay your bills, leaving you financially stagnant.

Hubby was a driver for Amazon flex delivering groceries until he was shot and killed after his last delivery for the day, Amazon referred to it as an automobile accident and washed their hands of it. Delivery drivers of any sort are in so much danger these days.

"If a restaurant isn't on Hort Dash, it doesn't exist."
Lmao this reminds me of Uber Eats.
When new to Houston,
I once got the bright idea to pull up Uber Eats to find restaurants around me and just drive to the location to slash costs of the middle man.
Then I found out that a lot of these restaurants I've never heard of
DON'T ACTUALLY EXIST.
Instead it's multiple entities all operating out of the same Ghost Kitchen so there is no physical location in which you can order & dine from😂

Nahhh. If you're not a well established restaurant with an actual location I can drive to if orders need to be resolved,
you're not getting my money!
I'm not playing that silly hide & seek phone tag anymore!

[DanielJaegerFilms]

Tap 2:51 to skip the ad. You’re welcome.

[Ramen]

These services are only viable as a job if you live in a congested city and own a vehicle with insane gas mileage and low maintenance cost... and even then you're probably not making enough to live in the city you're servicing.

I need a mini Roger in my fridge. I will call him Frodger (Fridge Roger).

[KatR]

⁠I don’t mind ads, but when they’re 50% of the video’s run-time, and in the middle of the video, that feels like you’re taking us for granted!

[momopirou]

it's like having an ad for a gun store in the middle of a video denouncing gun violence

[thetalkingboard]

This is the perfect mix of Roger as the star and the supporting actors. And it’s almost like real YT with having as much ad content as creator content. I just got Roger’d twice!

[pomegranate]

this is so true, almost 30 dollars for a 7 minute meal was depressing. glad i stopped doing that

[SiriusMined]

The actual commercial inserted into this was ironic, and a bit infuriating

[Sitharos]

I’m not paying $35 for a $10 fast food meal, I’ll get it myself thank you very much.

[passengerplanetearth]

"I've been Roger, by the way..." And you've been Rogered...

[nightmareshadow]

This is why I go to the restaurant for every meal I get, I like eating my food warm, thank you.

[Bulvan]

"Customer service, How can we make your day worse?" is my company's new way to answer the phone.

[geraldspencer]

"No! That's the price of one taco. Delivered, cold, straight to your door..." 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣
