Burger King You Scare Me
Who's seen the new Creepy King ads? Please join me in boycotting this place until they pull these ads. It's bad enough they would air ads that aren't appetizing, but nightmare inducing?! OK, so my boycott won't scare them—as I haven't eaten there in years, but at least I've wafted this out into the ether. Burger King, you're disturbing, so very disturbing.

The King campaign scares the crap out of me. Who, in the world, pitched this idea? What did they say when they did? “So,” they must have argued, “we are going to have a masked man who stalks people, handing them sandwiches at inappropriate times.” **shudder**
I get the Heebie jeebies each time I see it. Freaks me out!
I think you really like him. But is it just a hunch. Where are his bottom teeth?
I agree, they are pretty creepy commercials. Why would any restaurant think that something called "Chicken Fries" sounds good? And have you seen the mega-sized, ultra HUGE Whopper? Disgusting.
He was around like 20-25 years ago as the BK answwer to Ronald McDonald... then he was suddenly retired.
Probably because deep down, everyone was creeped out by him.
I agree. He creeps the hell out of me. Then again, I'm afraid of clowns...
I like him. He's totally grotesque. He scores touchdowns -- does everything in fact -- with that rakish smile. The world is his oyster. He doesn't pretend to be stylish, hip, sexy, or even funny for that matter. This is one dude who knows he's just a lucky S.O.B. In fact, he's so much better than the food that it's possible to watch the commercial and totally forget the product. I call that therapeutic.
Thus far, it seems the UK has been spared this advert, and I can't help but be glad. That said, trying to maintain a relatively healthy vegetarian diet, I've not touched fast food in quite a while anyway ...
MCronaldS is no better.
YES! I'd like to see him in an undead celebrity death match with Dave Thomas and a dozen other zombies.
Yeah, totally creepy. But yet, he has done the job, we're talking about it, therefore we've paid attention to the ad, and although it doesn't make me want to go out and eat their slop, I now recognize that creepy child molesting mascot and associate it with the Burger King closest to me.
yeah, i lost all respect for them when tried to pass of a veggie burger as food. nothing against those, but i wouldn't go to BK to get one. i wouldn't go to BK at all.
Maybe he is trying to get people to eat healthier by scaring them away
I agree wholeheartedly. The King is completely unnerving.
They are not as bad as the Dairy Queen commericials!! Those awful fake arms?? They are grotesque!! my mother actually emailed DQ and said they were just awful. She got a reply and DQ said they thought the ads were funny!!
I figured that it was targeting the market that will not flip the channel if football is on.
I SO agree! If that thing should up at my house, I would shit my pants!
That "King" scares the shit out of me!! :)
there's something The King's face that's so wrong...
I think Oprah is looking for this guy
I am so glad that other people are scared of these commercials. That thing would make me have a stroke if he came up on me handing me a sandwich!
I gotta agree with everyone else... He's distrubing.
Does anyone else get the pediphile vibe from him?
