Who was Captain D?
It’s a question that’s been on the minds of seafoodies since the first Captain D’s restaurant opened in 1969. A police captain? Maybe a high-school cheerleading captain? Captain OBVIOUS? To help raise brand awareness for this casual seafood restaurant, this campaign entertained several theories, with each TV spot featuring a different D-named, seafood-obsessed captain.
Captain Dee is a good guess. Or perhaps it was Captain Donnie, featured below.
Captain Doug, Captain Dick... (head out of the gutter, he was an astronaut!)
or maybe Captain Dillinger. Because coconuts can feel love, too.
