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!
The very first thing out of my mouth when I saw this commercial was "This is going to give me nightmares".
It goes back even further. You're forgetting Dan "I LOVE this place!!" Cortez' ads for Burger King. (Shudder)
Geico is my absolute FAVORITE!!!
Have you seen the one with the logger. I use to be a logger, loggers are friends of mine. The only thing scarier while cutting trees down would be a tree hugger.
That Burger King looks like one of Blain Kern's Mardi Gras floats in New Orleans.
The Sprint commercial where the people have different hair and clothes, but all have exactly the same face?
Night of the living dead kinda stuff??
Man, that one creeps me. I would NEVER go to Sprint just because of that commercial!!
I think Ronald McDonald could kick his ass...and, I also wondered what the hey they were smokin' at the ad agency when they came up with this. Yecccchhh.
I need to turn off the cable...
LOL...they rub me the wrong way as well, and you're exactly right about why.
Except that I NEVER eat at BK...their food sucks.
I guess a photo-shopped pic of the New Orleans beer looting dude with the king's face will make this thread complete...
"Little miss/little miss/can't be wrong!"
Yes, creeps me out too.
However, they got your attention and that is what they want.
The Quizno's thing seems to use the same technique as Viking kitties Immigrant Song.
Creeps me out too. Almost as bad as umpa lumpas.
The real story behind the pulled Taco Bell dog campaign is that they ripped off the idea from the guy who does the joecartoon.com website. Joe, a Grand Rapids, MI creative genius, sued Taco Bell and won. Taco Bell pulled the ads and was ordered to pay a large sum.
