I have never been much of a fan of the Burger King ads with the king in them (standing outside peoples windows, waking up with him in bed beside you and the whole time with that creepy grin), but they have really taken it to a new level with the ad for their new breakfast item. It's set in the future and the king is a riobot who makes the sandwich for some dud whose wife exclaims, rather breathily,"he's great with his fingers"......gross, he just made a sandwich with those fingers.
Antone else creeped out by the king?

I agree. I have always been kinda creeped out fromthose commercials. Some are kind of funny, but in general just a bit much.

I'm with you. I actually prefer burger king to mcdonalds, but those commercials annoy & creep me out. Have you seen the one that's a spin on morning wood? I think it was "morning tongue" or something equally disturbing. The guy is walking around with his tongue sticking out, under a turtle neck because he needs hash browns or something. Do we really want to equate breakfast with that???

that is one I haven't seen...that actually sounds worse than the fingers ad....LOL

I think I saw it during Adult Swim's late night line-up.

Oh so true there is just something not right about the dude. I havent seen this new commercial yet but um yeah sounds a bit nasty. But hey props to their ad guys its got us talking and I sure want some of their yummy onion rings now as long as the creepy king didnt have his hands or anything else on them.


myLot reputation of 98/100. inked4life (3296)   ranked 13 out of 26,068 in life  5 months ago

thats a good point.....is onion rings a code word for something else?....LOL

The king is creepy, the only BK commericals I find to be funny with him are the football ones where they place him into a piece of game footage and he makes a big play.

Oh yes, that guy definatly creeps me out to a certain degree. I also think the ads are kind of funny though and the creepiness makes it funny. I think that was their intent, something that would catch your attention and know that it was a BK commercial. The only commercial I didn't care for was the 'Morning Tongue' commercial. It was surprising and gross at the same time. I only saw it once, so maybe they pulled it or something.

Yes. That is gross. I have never seen that commercial for the breakfast item yet. That is nasty. I wander why they have to try to sell their menu items by being sexual like that? I would never want to eat it. He creeps me out too! thumbdown

The king commercials are terrible. They can't possibly be bringing in new customers and they have lost a customer. I haven't eaten Burger King at all, after seeing the morning commercial. Its just horrible and I don't want to see any future commercials.


myLot reputation of 98/100. Ruthep (2566)   ranked 392 out of 26,068 in life  5 months ago

I so agree with you. I did like the two or three where three women were trying to get a hitman to off the king or they tried to do it themselves

Yes, my roomie and I are both disgusted by what is going on with the current commercials. Cheetos, Twix, Skittles and such. The activities and hidden motives behind this subliminal messaging not only to us but to our children.

Glad you noticed it too.

myLot reputation of 83/100. eden32 (2734)   ranked 1,683 out of 26,068 in life  5 months ago

The Cheetos one with the character snorting lines of cheetos pisses me right off. A cartoon character, selling a product that appeals most to children mimicking drug use. angry
Axe commercials are pretty inappropriate too.


myLot reputation of 93/100. creative_angel312 (170)   ranked 1,068 out of 26,068 in life  5 months ago

Correction eden32: That wasn't a Cheetos commercial you saw, that was an episode of Family Guy. I saw the episode with the Cheetos Cheeta snorting lines of Cheetos a couple days ago...


myLot reputation of 38/100. Aingealicia (654)   ranked 10,338 out of 26,068 in life  5 months ago

Thank you both, they are getting insane on the commercials. From Axe to Cheetos, I have stopped buying any thing from Cheetos, do not patron Burger King or any other product that I find can and will cause issues for people.
