Editing Chef Boyardee (section)

Chef Boyardee is one of the few brands to request to be removed from an episode of ''[[Seinfeld]]''. In the 1996 episode "[[The Rye]]", Kramer is allowed to operate a [[Hansom cab]] for a week, and feeds the horse excess cans of Beefaroni, which causes frequent and foul smelling flatulence. As a result of the request, the name was changed to "Beef-a-reeno".<ref>{{Cite magazine|title=''Seinfeld'' and brand-name products|last=Baldwin|first=Kristen|date=30 May 1997|url=https://ew.com/article/1997/05/30/seinfeld-and-brand-name-products/|access-date=1 July 2020|magazine=[[Entertainment Weekly]]|publisher=[[Meredith Corporation]]|language=EN}}</ref>

In 2005, Chef Boyardee was shown in [[Mastercard|MasterCard]]'s "Icons" commercial during [[Super Bowl XXXIX]], which depicts advertising mascots having dinner together.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Mastercard Priceless {{!}} Experiences make life more meaningful. |url=https://www.priceless.com/m/ |access-date=2023-01-20 |website=Priceless |language=en-US}}</ref>

In 2018, Barbara Lippert of ''[[Advertising Age]]'' compared the 1966 [[Young & Rubicam]] ad for Beefaroni to ''[[The 400 Blows]]'' and [[running of the bulls]]. The ad features a large group of children running through [[Venice]] singing, "Hooray...for Beefaroni!" Lippert believed the ad influenced other famous commercials such as Prince Spaghetti (known for "Anthony! Anthony!") and "[[I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing (In Perfect Harmony)#TV commercial|Hilltop]]" for [[Coca-Cola]].<ref>{{cite journal|url=https://adage.com/article/news/classic-ad-review-chef-beef-canned/314123|title=The Chef Whose Beef Got Him Canned|last=Lippert|first=Barbara|journal=[[Advertising Age]]|date=9 July 2018|page=32|volume=89|issue=15|access-date=16 January 2020|url-access=subscription}}</ref>
