creepy Burger King

Mabye its just me, but that new Burger King guy creeps the hell out of me. ( you know, that one with the plastic head). Especially the commercial where he wakes up in the guys bed. Its just very disturbing....
If that thing walked up behind me, it would get a 2x4 to its Glass Fibre Reinforced Plastic head!

O&A were talking about that guy yesterday. The lumberjack had the perfect opportunity to end it all, but instead they hang out.


Me, personally, I don't think they have sandwhiches with enough meat in them.

How can "creepy" be the feeling that Burger King wants to express with its ads?

I laugh my ass off on the NFL ones. Where they put his head on Deion Sanders body when he makes the INT and runs it in for a TD is absolutely hillarious.

Good marketing there all around on this campaign.

A friend of mine is going as the BK King for a Halloween party. He has assembled the entire outfit and purchased the mask online.

I agree - very creepy.
The only thing that could make it worse is if he had a Clown sidekick.
Clowns are pure evil.

Mmm - isn't there another Burger joint that has a clown as the maskot? Oh yeah...

As for the BK plastic faced weirdo - yeah, that gives me the willies as well - the one where he's looking in the windo is creepiest for me. The bed one's kinda creepy, but you'd think that he 'bed mate' would have known about him sleeping there...

To each his own, I suppose....

Thanks for that thought, I hate clowns! Now if I wake up in a cold sweat tonite, I know who to blame.

It would be even creepier if he had a mime sidekick!

First it was Ronald MD that shook me up when I was little and now the BK guy. At least Wendys had that red headed girl Wendy.

Me too, I love that guy. Creepy in a good way if you ask me.

Funny, I was going to start a thread with this topic.

The one where he wakes up in bed with the guy is definitely the creepiest of all.

On BK's web sit http://www.sithsense.com , you think of an object and Darth Vader plays "20 Questions" to guess it. If he's having a tough time, the king comes out and whispers in his ear to help.

My 5.5 year old always laughs when he comes out and says, "Daddy, that's a funny looking alien! I wonder what planet he's from."

BK King is just weird - it doesn't freak me out - it's just stupid weird.

What was more weird was talking into Jack's open mouth decades ago to order food in the Jack in The Box drive through.

Ah, those icons.

At least the Chrysler commercial with Iacocca and Snoop Dog stopped running - I hated that spot...
