   Okay, pretend you roll over in bed in the middle of the night...you
  sense a presence in the room, so you pop on the light, only to see that
  plasticized face, that manic frozen grin staring at you, sitting atop the
  body of someone dressed crazily, hands outstretched trying to offer you
  food.
   Do you:
  
   (a) Jump for joy and say, Hey, King! Thanks for the burger! and then
  invite him to share it with you in your bed?
   (b) Say, Thanks dude, but I'm not hungry now. Be sure to close the
  window on your way out, then roll over and go to sleep... or
   (c) Scream bloody murder and reach for the gun/knife/baseball bat/golf

2010-04-08 Thread Mr. Worf
I loved the commercials. I thought that they were going to make it into a
short series and make it something like 24.

I think the difference between Jack in the box and Burger king is that they
use humor in their commercials. BK also makes them a little edgy to appeal
to the younger males.

Ever see the Chicken punk band or the chicken webcast?

I found one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qr0W105d5yw

There was another commercial where the lead singer was standing on top of a
speeding limo while things were blowing up around him. Very cool commercial.
They actually used it in a commercial for a video game last year.

Okay, pretend you roll over in bed in the middle of the
 night...you
   sense a presence in the room, so you pop on the light, only to see
 that
   plasticized face, that manic frozen grin staring at you, sitting
 atop the
   body of someone dressed crazily, hands outstretched trying to offer
 you
   food.
Do you:
   
(a) Jump for joy and say, Hey, King! Thanks for the burger! and
 then
   invite him to share it with you in your bed?
(b) Say, Thanks dude, but I'm not hungry now. Be sure to close
 the
   window on your way out, then roll over and go to sleep... or
(c) Scream bloody murder and reach for the gun/knife/baseball

Thank you, Mr Worf. For that, and realizing that I'm so old that I have no
idea who Slipknot is. [?][?]

 I found one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qr0W105d5yw

 There was another commercial where the lead singer was standing on top of a
 speeding limo while things were blowing up around him. Very cool commercial.
 They actually used it in a commercial for a video game last year.

 I loved the commercials. I thought that they were going to make it into a
 short series and make it something like 24.

 I think the difference between Jack in the box and Burger king is that
 they use humor in their commercials. BK also makes them a little edgy to
 appeal to the younger males.

 Ever see the Chicken punk band or the chicken webcast?

I'm old (53 and 11/12ths) so when I saw the first of the Burger King King 
commercials I was like WTF?  Later, I discovered the commercials weren't aimed 
at me (go figure!), they were aimed at super users, those young, 18 to 30 
year olds who frequent their local Burger King establishment 3 to 4 times a 
week (often late at night).  These super-users are the backbone of the Burger 
King business and are the target of the current campaign.

 That's the least of the issues. Am I the only one creeped out by that 
 grinning, leering rictus of a mask the King wears? Remember the commercials 
 where people would wake up in the morning to find him in their bedrooms, 
 staring at them, holding out a burger or egg sandwich or something? man, 
 that'd be like having Freddy Kreuger's face on the pillow next to you!

 Bad week for fast-food mascots. In the same period that RetireRonald.com 
 launched to blast McDonald's clown for luring kids into unhealthy lifestyles, 
 two locally based mental health organizations have been deeply upset by a 
 Burger King advertisement that can best be described as completely bonk . . . 
 er, nut . . . er, cucko . . . er, in poor taste.

I'm old (53 and 11/12ths) so when I saw the first of the Burger King King 
commercials I was like WTF? Later, I discovered the commercials weren't aimed 
at me (go figure!), they were aimed at super users, those young, 18 to 30 
year olds who frequent their local Burger King establishment 3 to 4 times a 
week (often late at night). These super-users are the backbone of the Burger 
King business and are the target of the current campaign.
