Alaska Darin Posted April 29, 2005 Posted April 29, 2005 Don Kings head right? 323514[/snapback] Either/or
Marshmallow Posted April 29, 2005 Posted April 29, 2005 It's one of the most retarded commercials I have ever seen. Who ever came up with that concept as a counter to Ron McDon should be canned. 323401[/snapback] It's funny that you say that. The agency responsible is Crispin Porter Bogusky. And they're THE HOTTEST ad agency in the country if not the world. Their best work has always been for Ikea, Mini Cooper and TRUTH (the anti-smoking campaign). As far as Burger King goes, the work(tv, print, radio, internet, etc) ranges from terrible (commercial with Hootie) to Great (did you see subservientchicken.com) Some of the in-office spots are pretty funny. People always want to blame the ad agency for bad creative spots. But the reality of the situation is that the client is generally a marketing guy who doesn't have one creative bone in his body. And ultimately, he decides. Scary.
crazyDingo Posted April 29, 2005 Posted April 29, 2005 I'm suspiscious because the actor looks JUST LIKE the Burger King. I think its some guy in a big headed mask or something. Otherwise, they cast it perfectly, that guy is a ringer for the Burger King.
The Poojer Posted April 29, 2005 Posted April 29, 2005 being a black man myself. i do not find any strong connection to the commercials!
buffaloboyinATL Posted April 29, 2005 Posted April 29, 2005 creepy. Maybe effective because we are talking about them... but I still wouldn't eat there.
Beerball Posted April 29, 2005 Posted April 29, 2005 being a black man myself. i do not find any strong connection to the commercials! 323802[/snapback] But does the King creep you out, or is that just a white man's reaction?
/dev/null Posted April 29, 2005 Posted April 29, 2005 BKs marketing strategy was devised by Tom Donahoe, who also invented the heart attack breakfast sandwich
Ralonzo Posted April 29, 2005 Posted April 29, 2005 There is no question the king is creepy. The commercial with the person waking up with the king in their bed was just spooky. I do not see it, however, as targeting African-Americans in those commercials. 323394[/snapback] There is no question Darius Rucker is creepy. The commercial with Hootie singing about a sandwich was just spooky. I do not see it, however, as targeting African-Americans in those commercials. the new Burger King is one creepy MoFo. if i woke up and saw him outside my window i'd call the cops for trespassing and attempted homicide. 323400[/snapback] Democrat If I saw him outside my window, I'd be the one attempting homicide.
bartshan-83 Posted April 29, 2005 Posted April 29, 2005 Only the King's head is smaller than Eskin's. What a prick that guy is. 323437[/snapback] You ain't kidding. God I hate Eskin, he can always find something to B word and complain about.
/dev/null Posted April 30, 2005 Posted April 30, 2005 Democrat 324015[/snapback] them's fightin wordz! and grossly inaccurate, as the state of virginia's voter registration will show that i am in fact an independant If I saw him outside my window, I'd be the one attempting homicide. 324015[/snapback] call the cops first then whack the king before they arrive, it'll help with the justifiable homicide defense
BILLS4LIFE Posted April 30, 2005 Posted April 30, 2005 Do you have an issue with the King or something???
EndZoneCrew Posted April 30, 2005 Posted April 30, 2005 WOW.......good call.....I have freakin nightmares watching that commericial......If I ever saw anything resembling that at my window.....I would immediatly call my friends Smith & Wesson to pay him a visit!!!
EC-Bills Posted April 30, 2005 Posted April 30, 2005 the King is just creepy...i would beat his ass if i ever saw that psycho anywhere near me... 323421[/snapback] He makes me want to go run and get my mom!
Pete Posted April 30, 2005 Posted April 30, 2005 Great commercial! Yeah its freaky but any commerical that gets someone to post a thread about it and gets 32 replys and 522 hits is absolutely effective. Keep posting how freaked out y'all are- the King appreciates it!
BillnutinHouston Posted April 30, 2005 Posted April 30, 2005 I patronize them only once a year - and they invariably screw up the order. I never go in Winter. The employee's noses are always dripping. 323506[/snapback] Lovely.
Guffalo Posted April 30, 2005 Posted April 30, 2005 He makes me want to go run and get my mom! 324205[/snapback] I think he is quite handsome!
The Jokeman Posted April 30, 2005 Posted April 30, 2005 But does the King creep you out, or is that just a white man's reaction? 323819[/snapback] As a white man, I can tell you I'm creeped out by the King.
EC-Bills Posted April 30, 2005 Posted April 30, 2005 I think he is quite handsome! 324326[/snapback] AAAAAAHHHHHHHH! Mom, the bad man has returned!!!
Guffalo Posted April 30, 2005 Posted April 30, 2005 AAAAAAHHHHHHHH! Mom, the bad man has returned!!! 324337[/snapback] Time for breakfast?
EC-Bills Posted April 30, 2005 Posted April 30, 2005 Time for breakfast? 324339[/snapback] Why yes it is. How did you know?
