I'm glad somebody feels the same way about those commercials. I couldn't be more creeped out if they were promoting the new Cannibal Dollar Menu with genuine BK Fingers or Filet O' Pancreas.

But its hard to get the song out of your head though.. "where cheddar paves the streets..."

 
Rye_ [TotalFark] 2005-03-14 10:00:47 AM  
It's funnier if you remember the original song. Well, the first time it's funnier. Now it's lame.

I dive for the remote the second that comes on. Most obnoxious and useless commercial ever - of course you'd have to hold a gun to my head to get me in a Bugger King anyway - but this spot sucks big time!

 
Terminal Frost 2005-03-14 10:26:23 AM  
I think it's brilliant, mostly because it has sparked many "Is that Darius Rucker" arguments among friends and family. Every link like this gets automatically forwarded to my jerkoff brother who insisted it wasn't him the first time we saw it. BUT I KNEW.

"Coooome aaaaannd get it!"

"*BOOM* *shck-shck*"

/hates that commercial with nearly unbridled passion
//those stupid milk-maids are next

 
Gwendolyn [TotalFark] 2005-03-14 10:44:24 AM  
Those milk maids make we sick. Something about the white stuff slopping out of the buckets...*PUKE*

 
RawData 2005-03-14 11:50:03 AM  
Haha - maybe it has an opposite effect...

I totally hate fast-food restaurants, but I love that commercial!

I was seeing this girl. At one point in the relationship we were watching TV and that came on. She goes, "That was a great commercial!"

At that point I knew the relationship wasn't going to work.

Worst. Commercials. Evar.

 
Qermaq 2005-03-14 03:56:11 PM  
The makers of that commercial should be forced to devour all the vomit it has produced.

/still tastier than BK

 
swankywanky 2005-03-14 03:56:34 PM  
Hootie wants your special sauce.....

/pass it on

 
hauntr888 2005-03-14 03:57:02 PM  
I think its a decent commercial, but I HATE Brooke Burke. She ruined NFSU 2

 
Panspechi 2005-03-14 03:57:37 PM  
Where's my Harveys?

 
Henchman 2005-03-14 03:57:41 PM  
It's an amazing commercial. It repulses me from the product, insults my intelligence, and removes any enjoyment I might get from seeing the breasts (chicken or otherwise).

Death to the King!

Sounds like the Seinfeld episode with the Dockers commercial.

 
Wraithstrike 2005-03-14 03:59:36 PM  
This commercial takes top honors for most insane campaign ever. If I had a trophy for creating spooky mental images, I'd give it to the ad execs at BK.

/Why couldn't they have just stuck with subservientchicken.com?

 
tHeCoNmAn2k5 2005-03-14 03:59:45 PM

You showed a remarkable amount of restraint, and I congratulate you. There would've been a head on a pike somewhere if I was seeing someone who said that.

 
RunLolaRun 2005-03-14 04:01:17 PM  
LOVE the commercial. Had to see it three times before I even knew what it was for but I still think it is genius. How many superfluous(sp?) shots of hotties can be added to a burger commercial? Apparently, a lot more than I would have thought. Besides, at least it's the hot topic of conversation. Isn't that the goal of an advertisement?

 
Toyvo 2005-03-14 04:01:28 PM  
Isn't that Jenna Jameson picking apples in the opening scene?

Anybody know?

 
AdmiralFarkbar 2005-03-14 04:01:32 PM  
The only good Burger King commercial is the one with the King in bed with that guy. Its so creepy, its great.

Reminds me of that pic I once saw here of the King that says, "Where is your God now?"

Anyone have that?

 
daveydave 2005-03-14 04:01:37 PM  
I love that commericial. What's so bad about it? I guess I got over being a hater when I realized it didn't make me cool.

 
safeinsane 2005-03-14 04:01:49 PM

...and you're proud of that? :)

My kid has this drum-thing that plays that song so not only do I get to see the commercial that seems inspired by a 103 degree fever, I get to hear the song and be reminded of it just when I'd forgotten about it.

No. The commercials by Dick for miller light was better. Except for subservient chicken. Kudos on bringing that up //shudder

 
TheKingInYellow 2005-03-14 04:03:24 PM  
i think the burger king commercial is the coolest commercial on tv right now. it's not very often you see really creative spots in america. i remember one spot from virgin a while back where the scene was an art studio and a teacher was walking around the room looking at the student's work. he stops at one girls desk and starts screaming at the top of his lungs, then we see what the girl is drawing; it's a happy girl on a unicorn or pegasus and then the drawing comes off the page and she hops on and flies out the window. man i wish i could find it. usually you don't see things like that in america because we're dumb and don't appreciate it. commercials are like 30 second movies. not 30 seconds of trying to relay a message about who has cheaper cars or better legal aids. check out the newest addidas ad by spike jonze if you want to see creative advertising.

all in all, whoever is responsible for the chicken tender ranch burger king commercial, i commend you and hope that you continue to do fine television media marketing, and i hope you get a big fat telly award, and i wish i had made the commercial.

anyway, i've got a few days to make a commercial for this video edit, so, it's off to the drawing board!

 
bdbthinker 2005-03-14 04:04:15 PM  
video killed the photoshop star.

 
SaintAwesome 2005-03-14 04:04:49 PM  
It's all about the "O". That commercial drives me up the wall!!! It took me a long time to actualy realize it was for Overstock.com and not about some orgasim cream or something.

It's like watching someone's super sexualized ultra sterile mono-chromatic acid trip.

 
templartk 2005-03-14 04:05:18 PM  
didn't know that was hootie, still think the commercial is great despite that fact.

come on...it has hot chicks bending down and stuff

 
JKulp42757 2005-03-14 04:06:05 PM  
Whether you like the commercial or not...it's obviously a success.

Here we are talking about Burger King, on a high traffic website, most of us here probably eat at Burger King every so often, whether we admit it or not. Because of this thread, I'm sure many will subconsciously choose Burger King for dinner tonight or in the next few days.

The commercial is memorable, & everyone knows it's a Burger King commercial...exactly what they wanted!

 
trancemission 2005-03-14 04:06:35 PM  
So what's the straight dope - is it Hootie?

 
Aeonite [TotalFark] 2005-03-14 04:06:38 PM  
I will give $100 to anyone who uses Ninja Burger in their commercial and wins the contest.

Really.

 
ArcadianRefugee 2005-03-14 04:07:29 PM  
I'm just hysterical laughing that it really is Hootie. I've been callin' the guy that since I first saw the ad without actually knowing.

I don't actually mind the commercial itself, it's just that creepy King that freaks me out, what with him hiding in the back seats of peoples' cars, or farkin' waking up next to him like some bad drunken morning-after date.

Can't wait to see what you sickos come up with.

 
Xed Ping 2005-03-14 04:08:07 PM  
I want Hootie to cook my next Whopper. Then I can sell it on ebay.

 
TheKingInYellow 2005-03-14 04:08:15 PM  
thank you Octalthorpe
for that video. my day is now bright with hope and inspiration (and i can watch it whenever i get sad). oh yeh, i almost forgot about the other bruger king commercial.

UGOFF (brilliant!)

 
commonwhiteguy 2005-03-14 04:08:26 PM  
Worst commercial ever has got to be that damn Orbitz commercial (not the gum), where they tell you "DONT THINK TWICE", damn I hate that peice of shiat.

Maddox had a good article about it on his site.

 
carrion_luggage 2005-03-14 04:08:38 PM  
Other than the fact that the two milkmaids look like they're shlurping moose splooge off their fingers, it's like an acid trip without the inconvenient genetic damage.

Two sticky, white thumbs up.

 
Lester Half-Junior 2005-03-14 04:08:51 PM  
dang, lots of haterz in here. its a good commercial.

 
SicTim 2005-03-14 04:08:55 PM  
The fact that this thread exists shows what an effective advertisement it is.

(As a regular panelist on Mental Engineering, I really hope I get to critique this one.)

 
Drone 7 2005-03-14 04:09:06 PM  
yes, that's Jenna Jameson, also, Vida is on the train cart (with jenna) and Brooke Burke on the swing.

 
merreborn 2005-03-14 04:09:38 PM  
I enjoy absurdity, and thusly, burger king's recent series of ads.

I get the feeling BK's grabbing desperately for the youth demographic as they slowly die. It just be a local thing, but a lot of BK's seem to be closing around here.

 
LEVEL 2 2005-03-14 04:09:50 PM  
All I know is that Vida is one of the girls on the train cart thing, it even has Vida written on her ass.

My first reaction was, "Is Hootie doing this as a joke, or is he desparate?"

 
Priapulid 2005-03-14 04:09:59 PM  
I love those commercials especailly when that pron star goes
"COME AND GIT IT!"

Who is that? I know I have seen her somewhere...

 
HotWingConspiracy [TotalFark] 2005-03-14 04:10:02 PM  
I like the commercials. This one is clearly working since we are all typing away about it.

hmmm? ninja burger! i forgot about them, too! man, i'm really out of it today.

john_frink 2005-03-14 04:10:57 PM  
It's a good commercial. And, thanks to Carl Weathers, I now know that you can get free soda refills at BK!

Creepiest commercial was the last Quizno's one with the mutated white rat. I don't think it got played much, but I don't know who could have thought it was a good idea.

The BK one is second in my book.
