(Vanity) Who else HATES that "cafeteria" AOL commercial where the guy wastes all that food
The bube tube ^ | 1/1/1217 | The idiots at AOL

ARRGGHH!!

That "whole lotta spaim" comment while he wastes not only the food on the plate but the food from the cafeteria makes we want to physically throttle him.

I was raised that you never EVER waste food. Particualrly for an obnoxious commercial!

Yup. And whats with the "free Web Accelerator" ?? I'm guessing its an add-on to mask AOL's crappy service, like a used car dealer throwing in a free oil change to make up for a 4-cylinder's sloppy performance?

Anyone have it? What are your thoughts?

"but it's the Burger King commercial I hate.... plastic-faced stalker holding a sandwich, looking in my (second story) bedroom... Way creepy."

Me too. I can't imagine what the ad exces were thinking on that one. I'll bet the kiddies are having nightmares too.

Me, as well. Doesn't that plastic faced montrosity have an uncanny resemblance to the toy Santa Claus in Santa Clause II?

P'rolly had to do with his upbringing (or a not-so-broad stereotype of it).

'Course my favorite of late is by United Healthcare. It's out on the Serengetti, where a Researcher has an Assistant with a lion mask slowly walking toward a pride of Lions, urging him on. The lion is watching him, and the researcher reminds the masked Assistant to stand his ground, then says "Begin Agitation Phase." Assistant growls, and it cuts with the Lion headed toward the Assistant. I laugh like hell every time.

That, OTOH, is a very funny commercial.

As scary as the NEW Burger King is, the creepy oompa-loompa guy they had playing the Burger King when I was a kid was REALLY SCARY.

We probably should complain -- it workd in getting rid of that drunken idiot whoopie (good thing too -- I would have really regretted not eating the diet bars that I really liked).

Haven't seen it. What I do know though, is that the one where the 'king' is off in the distance, the man turns to look at his wife, turns back around and the 'king' is right in front of him is totally spooky. Who looked at that and said, "yeah, awesome, air it."? Unbelievable.

Can you find an image? I don't remember (and I assume we are about the same age since BK has not been around all that long).
