1. The entire ad campaign of Burger King's is creepy.

2. Are the Burger King tv execs dropping acid?
I have had some bad trips before but I haven't seen anything that weird since the eighties.

5. They MUST be. That's seriously hallucinatory stuff, what I've seen
of it...which was the ones that ran during the Super Bowl, with the Burger King mannequin playing football and another that I don't remember in detail.

Truly frightening. The kind of stuff that makes children wake up crying in the night, and I'm not being facetious when I say that.

4. Big Buckin' Chicken!
I think it's a funny commercial. (No offense to the anti-chicken-buckers)

6. Lol. I miss giant chicken movies really.
One of my favorite episodes of Hercules the Legendary Journies was when Ioalus and Attuculous fought a giant chicken.

7. I keep parsing it as big f'ing chicken.
And I'm thinking that may not have been unintentional on their parts.

8. Doesn't creep me out as much as the Burger King himself
That character just totally freaks me out. I cannot watch those commercials. He looks like something out of a Stephen King novel.

17. Somewhere, the Burger King is a registered sex offender.
He has to be. He's a peeping tom who shows up in unsuspecting people's beds.

20. Naw, not even Stephen King would put that character in a novel.

12. The BIG BUCKING CHICKEN?
I think it's a good and effective ad. You remember it. Dado advertising.

13. The worst was when they dressed up Hootie in a cowboy
outfit and made him sing different lyrics to the wonderfull 'Big Rock Candy Mountain.'

Very close to ruining a favorite song!

16. Those BK ads are terrific
And unlike a lot of "novelty" ads, you really remember the product.

I hope these ads stay hallucinatory.

21. No shit
I think burger king is trying to outdo Hardees in the worst fast food commercial catergory.

I don't know which turns me off more - the Hardees commercials with disgusting people sucking on greasy burgers, complete with the nasty eating sound effects and the guy eating the cheese off of the wrapper :puke:

or


The Burger King oversized genetically modified chicken and creepy guy in the king outfit commercials.



Who the hell is in charge of advertising for these places?

22. Big buckin chicken
I guess the commercials are brilliant if you think that me remembering them is the goal. However I don't remember them in a good way and it makes me want to stay away from BK more than anything. And maybe do less heroin or something.
