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 only love Jack. Neither Ronald McDonald nor Burger King can compare to Jack In the Box.
*sigh
"...I somehow saw the king as a metaphor, a living soul trapped in a lifeless persona, clothed in grandeur and glory, but ultimately powerless to emote, express, or display anything but the static smile of one who knows not true joy, only its substitute - consumption of that which does not nourish...."
Sort of like John Kerry, eh?
Oh don't get me wrong, the ads don't make me want BK any more than I did previously (which is not at all) but I do appreciate the humor.
I like where you're going with that. Stalking, beating the crap out of the king, sitting down to a nice BK meal to celebrate.
Genius!!
Jack is a very successful 'spokesman'. Obviously that's why they haven't changed in years.
That picture is just wrong. On so many levels.
I've got news for the ad industry: I'm so tired of their shock and trashiness that if I notice an ad because its obnoxious, I make it a point to avoid their product. There is indeed such a thing as bad publicity.
My bet is that you aren't in Burger King's target market anyway. I know I'm not.
Dead, do you remember the old Burger King with orange skin that they used to use in the old ads?
Dude, 90% of the time Geico commercials are awesome! The Tony Little one (frantic dude on the exercise machine) and the 'Tiny House' reality TV spoof still make me laugh.
Dude, that is Scott Ritter!
"If we went camping and woke up in the same sleeping bag, would you tell anybody?"
Carlos Alazraqui (the voice of the Chihuahua) wanted more money for the commercials. He walked when he didn't get it.
