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 commercials that bother me are the BP ads with the unstaged, impromptu (ha!) environmentally correct comments made by self-righteous supposedly everyday citizens."
God, yes. I hate those ads. The latest one is just a version of , "GLOBAL WARMING!!!! (WE ARE DOOMED) It"S REALLLLLLL...The glaicers are melting... DOOMED!!!!" What a bunch of maroons. I have started my own boycott of BP just for that silliness.
Advertising is supposed to create a association between the product and something pleasurable. BK is, like, way creepy.
Those commercials were so bizarre that I started watching them just to decide why Quizno's thought they were a good idea. Then, to my surprise, I found I was starting to like the rodent-things. The Dark Side was seducing me! Fortunately the commercials went away right about then.
My current dislike is the David Spader credit-card commercials with the chubby employee who's being put through semi-torture to force him to say no to all customers (I can't even remember the card's name!). They were dumb to start with, and are becoming really offensive now.
They should come up with a series of web commercials. For example, the lumberjack cuts the tree down, sees the Burger King then splits his head down the middle with the chain saw. Only to reveal the head of George Clooney who yells at the lumberjack "Hey! My head hurts enough already!" to which the lumberjack says "it's Bushes fault". Then Clooneys head explodes.
You're right! I never thought much about it, but he sort of has that evil clown thing goin' on.
He looks horny to me, you are right grab the gun!
And he plays both sides of the ball too, which you don't see much anymore these days.
The King wants to be your friend, he wants to be invited into your home, but he knows he is creepy and it makes him lonely. So he creeps into your house and tries to give you free food.
He wants to be your friend. Even more than a friend, if you'll let him. That's what the perpetually open mouth signifies, if you know what I mean.
LOL!!
I stopped eating there as soon as I saw "chicken fries" on the menu, I keep picturing how they are made and haven't ordered a formed chicken "thing" since.

He may be scary, but he's a pretty good football player.
I used to eat there two to three times a week for lunch mainly because of the fries.
They switched and the only time I go there now is if I can find a bag of potato chips someplace before I go and take them in with me.
If they ask me if I want fries with my burger I ask if they are still serving the batter-covered-tastes-like-cardboard fries. When they say yes, I point to the chips and say that's why I brought these.
ping!
