Re: Burger King: have it your way or else!
 

LOL. You've got to be kidding me?

She's why I can't ever get through to 911 when there is a legit emergency; like when the neighbors house is on fire, or there's been a real bad car wreck on the freeway.

Yes granted, it's funny and she is clearly a nutcase.

However, I think they need to press charges against her for hogging up the 911 system. This could have had real repercussions.

After I start laughing I will start to get pissed.

Have you guys seen those new Burger King commercials they keep showing during the NCAA tournament? For the bacon cheddar ranch? I think they were smoking crack when they came up with that one.

hateful, lol.

See, there are times when ya need to get through to 911, and ya cant!

The ranch flows up to your knees!

I love Darius Rucker and he can do no wrong. The commercials are top drawer.

i just keep thinking 'hootie... what have you done?!?!?!'

- marissa

You know what's ironic? Any attempts by this woman to damage Burger King's reputation were in vain, because if anything, her stupidity just might bring in more business for the chain!

And ditto on the Darius commercial. That's Brooke Burke on the swing yelling "Come and get it!," right? Pure genius.

Shit man, I don't know who any of those people are. There was like floating bacon! WTF??

I thought that guy looked like Hootie. I didn't think he really was Hootie!

And by Hootie I mean Hootie and the Blowfish, not Hootie from GC.

I just like writing Hootie.

Banana peels. ;)

Their entire current campaign is totally creeping me out. Starting with the "Wake Up with the King" commercial using that same Mardi-Gras-type king mascot. :::shudder:::

BK can't come up with a decent ad campaign to save their lives. I can't believe they're still in business. Anyone else remember the flop of a "Herb" campaign back in the 1980s?

--add

Yep, that's Brook Burke with the janky King - it's not as good as the 'morning after' one, but it does get bonus points for passing the ". . . uh . . . are you fucking kidding me?" test the first time I saw it.

Good stuff, like the old Miller Lite ' by dick' campaign

I LOVE that commercial!! Am I the only one? It cracks me up!! I have not seen it in a long time though.

Raunchy Ranch
February 14, 2005 -RANDI SCHMELZER

Bringing a red-blooded American guy's most hedonistic fantasies to life may seem an ambitious way to sell fast food, but that's what Crispin Porter + Bogusky is attempting on a Van Nuys, Calif., soundstage at a one-night shoot for Burger King's new TenderCrisp Bacon Cheddar Ranch chicken sandwich.
The set for the "Fantasy Ranch" spot, which breaks nationally this week, is a whirlwind of ad execs, actors and stylists against rich land-and-sky colors more often associated with rural Montana than the Valley.
Agency executive producer David Rolfe describes the set as an "ideal dreamscape" for BK's target of 18-34-year-old men.....

This explains it. :p ;) :cool:

I'm now officially afraid of 18-34 year old men. :(

How timely... The new commercials for the Enormus Omlette Breakfast Sandwich deal they have started showing today. Just saw it.

The creepyness continues. This one has some dude looking out of his window at the big mardi gras head king dude and laughing and dreaming of the Enormous Breakfast Omlette Sandwich. Then theres this really long part of the commercial with the big head king just staring at you (but he's all close) with all these critters from nature landing on him....and he's just staring dead into the camera. Wierd.

Speaking of dead, in one of the enormus breakfast omlete sandwiches there's 730 calories and has 47 grams of fat.

That thing is a heart attack on a bun.

When my belly starts a-rumblin',
and I'm jonesin' for a treat.
I close my eyes for a big surprise,
the Tendercrisp Bacon Cheddar Ranch.
I love the Tendercrisp Bacon Cheddar Ranch,
the breasts they grow on trees.
And streams of bacon ranch dressing,
flow right up to your knees.
Tumbleweeds of bacon,
and cheddar paves the streets.
Folks don't front 'ya cause ya got the juice,
there's a train of ladies comin' with a nice caboose.
Never get in trouble, never need an excuse,
the Tendercrisp Bacon Cheddar Ranch.
I love the Tendercrisp Bacon Cheddar Ranch
no one tells ya to behave.
Your wildest fantasies come true,
Dallas cheerleaders give you shaves.
Red onions make you laugh instead,
and french fries grow like weeds.
Ya get to veg all day,
all the lotto tickets pay.
The king who wants you to have it your way,
that's the Tendercrisp Bacon Cheddar Ranch.

I just like saying Hootie. Hootie!

Hootie, Hootie! It is so much fun!!!! :D :p

Bwahahhaah. Found a link to the commercial.

Still trying to find a link to the creepy king head one.

Yeah, creepy.

From slate.com

But why on earth does the King have a plastic, three-times-too-big head, like some sort of King Friday bobblehead doll? Apparently, an exec at Burger King's ad agency (Crispin Porter + Bogusky) was trolling eBay for inspiration when he came across a vintage, oversized King head for sale. (The head had a hole in its mouth, suggesting it was made to fit atop a helium canister and inflate those animal balloons.) This massive plastic head sat in the CPB office during brainstorming sessions and eventually found its way into the campaign. (It was remodeled by a Hollywood effects specialist first.)

One benefit of the plastic head is that Burger King isn't locked into using a specific actor. (I'm looking at you, Mr. Wendy.) McDonald's solves this problem by caking Ronald in a 4-inch-thick mask of makeup. (It could be Meryl Streep under there, for all you know.) Burger King just uses an actual mask.

But there's more to it than that. Using a ridiculous plastic head, and an absurd situation, gives this ad an edgier mood—more ironic and wink-wink—than that of your average fast food campaign. And that's the goal. CPB thinks Burger King can differentiate itself with a hipper vibe. Its competitors (namely McDonald's and Wendy's) have more family-friendly images and thus couldn't (or wouldn't) go as far. More Burger King marketing in this edgier mode: the Subservient Chicken Web site. Meanwhile, when McDonald's tries to get hip, they show us kids playing basketball on rollerblades. BK's stuff is just far more subversive. CPB says the core market for fast food is 18- to 35-year-old males, and these are "the most cynical" consumers out there. In setting the mood for the campaign, CPB tries to keep in mind "the cool uncle—the uncle who tells you how things really are, and lets you get away with a little bit more than your mom and dad do."

Got to love commercalism!!!!!!!!:(
