I am now afraid of the Burger King

[Bluebear]

He keeps popping up randomly, giving away sandwiches. He always has the same "happy" Laura Bush Xanax smile. Would YOU take a sandwich from some grinning nut waiting for you to raise your window blinds? I think not. Thank you.

1. He scares me too!

:cry:

[Melodybe]

4. I'm amused and creeped out at the same time

The "Wake up with the Burger King" commercial was histerical.

I thought it was fake, then I found out that it was real and laughed twice as hard.

[Lavender Brown]

2. Eh

The Dairy Queen is way scarier. :scared:

[Avalux]

3. He really gives me the creeps!

Can't stand to look at him. Who the hell came up with that marketing strategy anyway?

[tridim]

12. Whoever came up with that ad campaign is a genius

We're talking about it on a political message board. Everyone's talking about it, even outside of cyberspace. Very effective ads IMO.

[Avalux]

29. Yeah, but doesn't mean I'm gonna eat his sandwiches

Ewwww! :hi:

[tridim]

34. Neither have I, but I've talked about it with friends

and maybe they have. If they get one new customer out of 10 who saw the ad, it's a success.

I think Du'ers are fairly immune to commercial advertising. I can't remember the last time I bought something because I saw it on a commercial.

[Avalux]

36. I see what you're saying

and you're right. And I'm like you - I never buy anything because I saw it on TV.

[flamingyouth]

5. I'm afraid of him too

I've actually been afraid of him for a long time.

I recently saw the 1979 version of I Love the '70s on VH1, with the "Let's disco down to Burger King" ad, and that freaked me out as a kid. :D

[Fenris]

8. You gave me an idea.

[flamingyouth]

14. He's like the creepy guy you'd tell your kids to avoid

You know that weird guy down the street who always wears a crown and has the glassy stare? Don't take any food products from him. :D

[Fenris]

16. But he wants you to have a giant omelet sandwich!

[Bluebear]

17. He wants you to have a heart attack 20 years from now!

[Fenris]

22. I was surprised they didn't put a pound of ham in between the egg layers.

[Bluebear]

24. And a layer of Hollandaise!

[Fenris]

26. They should have followed McDonalds and injected syrup into the bun.

[flamingyouth]

18. Noooooooo!

Will I have to disco over to him to get it? :cry:

[Fenris]

20. Apparently he stands outside your window with it.

[flamingyouth]

23. Now I have to turn off sig lines again.

You've gone and ruined all the fun for me. :scared:

[Fenris]

25. Ha! You just can't handle the KING!

[flamingyouth]

31. Can you buy those masks anywhere?

Cause I'd really like to wear one and scare the hell out of you one morning! :D

[Fenris]

32. God I hope not.

[LostinVA]

6. WAY creepy... he just smiles and gets into bed with people...

Much prefer the old Quznos Spongemonkeys. I miss them... FOR REAL.

[JohnKleeb]

7. Wait, there's a burger king now?

[NoSheep]

9. We saw him again last night and had to ask ourselves:

Who is Burger King trying appeal to? The new Burger King is like out of a David Lynch movie! I mean, I think it's funny as hell, but the majority of the world doesn't think the way I do, or so..I..thought!
Do you think marketing has finally figured me out? I mean, I'm weird as hell. I love that new Burger King. What does that say about me. I think the commercial that looks like Hee Haw is LOL funny! Sick-funny, y'know what I mean?
:shrug: now, that doesn't mean I want to eat one of their sandwiches, but I DO like those weird commercials.

[Left Is Write]

10. He scares me too, and no, I wouldn't take the sandwich!

[Abelman]

11. The Burger King

is hilarious. About time we got to see what he looked like. He's a bit Joker-esque, yes, but he's a monarch. They can afford to be eccentric.

[BurtWorm]

13. I am more afraid of Wendy

:scared:

[ForrestGump]

15. Sumbitch freaks me out

Scary.

[LynneSin]

19. Giving away sandwiches that will kill you!!!!

That new breakfast sandwich should be called the Clogged Artery Special with all the egg & fat in it. And yet there he is - happily standing outside your bedroom window offering you this disgusting killer sandwich. Hell, he should be offering cyanide pills!

[THUNDER HANDS]

21. my girlfriend hates him too

He's quite scary. I pooped myself first time I saw him.

[thinkingwoman]

27. If he was outside my window

I'd get a restraining order.

[Bouncy Ball]

28. Oh God, I'm glad it's not just me.

Whew.

The first time I saw the commercial where he raises the blinds and there he is with that heart attack on a bun, I told my husband "MY GOD, that's creepier than SHIT!"

:scared:

I really, really, really don't like it. And the marketing doesn't work on us, because we never go there anyway.

Ick.

[WI_DEM]

30. Ronald McDonald always frightened me too

I was always afraid of clowns.

[Melynn]

33. Burger King commercials have become down right weird

Weird and food don't mix as far as I'm concerned.

[UdoKier]

35. He is EXTREMELY creepy.

The fact that his face is motionless and silent makes it all the worse. I'd be terrified if he came to my door.

Funny, but Jack from Jack in the Box isn't so scary...

[KamaAina]

37. Maybe he'll invade us and depose Bush**

Hell, even that would be a HUGE improvement!
