The Burger King Returns, or The AntiChrist Cometh

Is anyone else frightened by Burger King’s new ad campaign? The idea they have is genius, but that damn plastic headed freak still scares the life out of me.

For those of you that haven’t seen the commercials, here’s a summary:

A man wakes in the morning and gets out of bed. He walks to his bedroom window and opens the blinds to find the Burger King (a man with a prosthetic plastic Pez-dispenser like head) standing outside his window. The man then opens the window and the Burger King hands him the new “Enormous” breakfast sandwich, which he takes and eats, nodding his approval of the greasy morning food. Then the Burger King holds his arms out and several birds and local wildlife rest on his outstretched arms.

I don’t know about anyone else, but if some dude in a plastic headpeice was standing outside my window in the morning offering me food, I’d call 911. The next ad is even more frightening:

Another man opens his front door in the morning to get the daily paper on his porch. After picking up the paper he notices the Burger King standing about 50-100ft away in his driveway. He turns around to look at his wife inside (who doesn’t notice) and when he turns back around, the Burger King (or the antichrist as I’ll refer to him from now on) is standing directly in front of him. Again he holds out his demonic breakfast sandwich offering to the man and again the fool is helpless to resist the egg and bacon trance the sandwich holds. He takes the sandwich and nods his approval. Freaky.

I think the ad campaign is very original and works well being I’m definitely not the first blogger to discuss the strange commercials, but that damn plastic-headed demon haunts my dreams with his Breakfast Sandwich of Evil®. I think I liked the Hootie commercial better. At least that made me laugh, plus it had Vida Guerra’s best ASSet in it.

Bad Burger King. No Donut.

Don’t forget the one where the guy wakes up next to the freak in the plastic head. They eat sandwitches and laugh while under the covers. I won’t go any further because typing this has brought back memories….agh…

I’ll say this: If I woke up with that freak next to me in bed, I’d split his plaster freak head right down the middle without thinking twice. Seriously.

The plastic-headed Burger King may be scary but not nearly as much as Subway’s junk-food clown shill, Jared Fogel.

As unpleasant as the BK is his commercials pale in comparison to the new Brawny paper towell commercials. My eleven year old son said that he needed to take a shower after that guy looked at him.
