I'm afraid I'm going to wake up in the morning and have that freakish King head staring at me.

2. I can deal with the sandwich they are selling ...
but I would freak out too if I had the Burger " King " staring at me with that " one " facial expression . Actually thats the original Burger King - my mom told me that when she was kid , kids would actually dress up as the Burger King ( yep the one in the commerical ) for Halloween . Spooky huh ?

4. OMG, I just remembered that mask!
That's why it's been bothering me so much.

I must have repressed the memory.

15. Actually, not the original Burger King.


The original king is in the lower corner of this ad.

Carry on.

9. BK advertises with Sinclair.
Don't stress since you should be boycotting the joint. ;)

And you should e-mail them..

10. Screw the commercials, they just chopped two hours off the closing time!!!
Drive-in always good until 1 AM here in 24-hour Las Vegas. Then last night I pull up at virtual midday, 11:15 PM, and the damn place is closed. A worker came to the window and said the corporate headquarters advised every local BK to shut down at 11 PM, both in store and drive-thru. I was outraged. Whoppers always taste best a few hours after 9 PM pizzas. Had to drive 200 yards to a Carl's Jr. But today I shot off two complaint letters. They'll be good for at least four comp coupons, based on past experience

13. WTF IS that commercial???? I just don't GET it.. who thought of it and why
do they think it's selling something not freakish and satanic?

Did they use a puppet king to alleviate a homo-erotic croissandwich event?

With meat. And cheese. And meat. And cheese.

14. I actually think it's kind of clever.
Intrusion by the advertising icons of your youth.

20. Only if you're old enough to remember the icon
Otherwise it's just plain disturbing.

16. I TOTALLY agree
What is it about that mask that creeps me out so much? It's very friendly looking, the smile and the eyes aren't evil or anything, but there's just something ... Maybe because it's actually more lifelike than the usual mask, but still has that plasticky fake look. I can't put my finger on it.

Oh, by the way thank you sooo much for putting that image of it lurking over me when I wake up in the morning. That one hadn't occurred to me yet. One more thing to get creeped out over.

17. Right after my wife and I got married I woke her up from a dead
sleep wearing a big oversized gorilla head. Stone silent. Her face morphed slowly from asleep to groggy to terrorized to pissed. It never occurred to dumb, 20-year-old me that this might be disconcerting to a woman.

Me am asshole back then. Me good now.

21. I sure do love them croissandwiches!
I used to buy 5 or 6 bacon and cheese on my way to work and just gorge on them. They are SOOOOO tasty. But then they closed that Burger King and there aren't any more near me. Waaah! That DOUBLE croissandwich looks like the best, tastiest thing on Earth but there's no place for me to get it!

I guess that's good, now that I know they advertise on Sinclair.

24. I love that ad
I cant tell you why. Especially when the head taps the guys knee as if about to tell him a joke and they both start laughing for nothing.
