Burger King Creeps Me Out, Man!

Has anybody else been, like, totally creeped-out by the recent Burger King ad series?

I mean, like, there's this guy waking up and standing silently next to him is as scary a sight as one is likely to encounter: a hulking Burger King with a frozen face, mouth open (to take a big bite?), staring silently at the poor guy. Ewww!

It's just one of a series of totally bizarre ads all featuring the sudden appearance of the Burger King right in, like, someone's face, like, out of nowhere.

I guess the idea is that when you are, like, hungry, you'll think of grabbing a burger from BK. But really, man. Who thought this series up? I mean, like, if I woke up and saw this thing standing next to my bed, my only throught would be to get my .357 out as fast as I could and, like, blow this ugly mofo back to the Ring of Hell from which it emerged.

Maybe these ads will spur gun sales. That would be way cool!

I am 100% with you on this. I either change the channel or cover my eyes, cause that is a getup straight out of a nightmare.

I always thought that the Quaker Oats Guy (the Quaker on the box, not Wilford Brimley who used to do their commericals) looked like Alan Hale, Jr., the Skipper on Gilligan's Island.

I don't mind that commercial until my husband asks me "So how does he get home".

[Abathar]

I don't know what the difference is, just that as I let my mind wander how they were made I realized that they probably put them in that shape so more batter would stick to them and less chicken, and them I see the converted pasta machines pumping out semi-liquified chicken goo, and I haven't eaten one since.

Oh.

My.

GOD!!!

Funny, all the while I was ranting about how much I hate that commerical, and my wife asks the same thing: "How does he get back home?"

[EX52D]

No way. :)

KING FRIDAY! Brilliant! I'm still laughing that one off.

[Quilla]

Who knew - I thought cold showers only worked for guys. ;-)

LOL!

[Ragtop]

YOu know, Barbara Bush and Alan Hale, Jr. Never see them in the same place at once. It seems The Skipper died just when Bush 41 took office. Hmmmm...

[PennsylvaniaMom]

Yep..."we're not talking management material here." Gotta love those Pilagers...

[hattend]

I like that guy.

Someday, after I drop some weight, I hope to dance like that (I'd kill my knees now! LOL)

[PaulaB]

Now that is straight from HELL!!!

I'll tell you what really freaks me out:

Some ad agency was paid MILLIONS to put this ad together.

[1Old Pro]

Better than having Scott Ritter in their ads.

What makes you think he isn't?? The guy wearing that mask sure is freaky and perhaps trolling for underage girls.

"...And he plays both sides of the ball too,..."

But, does he play for the other team? (If you know what I mean).
