Now that the last Daily Show with Jon Stewart has officially happened, dozens of tributes to the late-night talk show host are flooding the web. As a brand that has taken quite a beating from Stewart over the years, Arby's created a tribute of their own to comically say: "Not sure why, but we'll miss you."
The compilation of clips from The Daily Show is set to the Golden Girls theme, atop phrases that Stewart once used to comment on menu items offered by the fast food brand like: "Why not challenge your stomach to a fight?"
Just like the viral video apology Arby's previously issued to Pepsi, once again, the brand proves itself unafraid of being made fun of, especially as it makes fun of itself.
