Tender crisp bacon cheddar ranch, the best they grow on trees, fields of bacon ranch dressing, flow right up to your knees, theres tumble weeds of bacon,a nd cheese will pave tgeh street, you can have fun all day, all the lotto tickets pay, theres a king who wants you to have it your way, tender crisp bacon cheddar ranch..

O_O I had that stupid song in my head for TWO WEEKS. Until I finally went and bought one of those stupid sandwiches..a dn after I ate it.. BOOM O_O NO more song in my head O_O IT IS LIKE A GOVERNMENT CONSPIRACY!! They're sendign subliminal brain wave message things through the television O_O It did not go away until I finally ate one! My mom knows like everyone in my town and one person she knows who works at burger king said they got about 10 people calling in to complain that the song wouldnt get out of their head! ITS LIKE O_O ROBOTIC MESSAGES O_O in the chicken :O scary.

Uh yeah, he's creepy for sure!!! Have you seen the commercial where's having a face off with Darth Vader????? He even creeps Darth Vader out
Remember the Quiznos fur thingy's that would sing "Eat Quiznos Subs....". Those little things were creepy, too. What's up with corporate America trying to creep us out????

I suspect he is supposed to be a bit creepy..for the sake of humour..
But I can't really figure out why....
Like the one where the guy wakes up and the King is in bed beside him just sitting there...?

Oh my goodness I can't believe so many of your guys hate the Burger King guy!! My boyfriend, roommate, and I LOOOOOOOOOVE those commercials! Advertising these days definitely leaves something to be desired but we can always count on Burger King to make us laugh. We actually get excited when we see it's one we haven't seen before. It even brings my boyfriend to tears sometimes from laughing so hard. I guess it depends on what kind of humor you're into though. It's totally our kind!!

That one cracks us up because all of the animals just start flocking to him. I guess Brendan, Tiffany, and I just like absurd humor?

To me, what's even creepier than the king himself is that voice-over..."Hello egg....hello bacon..." Oh it creeps me out!

I LOVED the commercials with Hootie singing about the bacon burgers. That was a trip and no one can deny what a catchy ditty that song was!

Yay spongemonkies! They are our lab's unofficial mascots.

The Burger King king creeps me out too. I think it's the cheesy smile.

It freaks me out too - I hate the one where hes standing at the window when the guy opens his curtains - I would have went and got a shotgun then!

Kiwideus!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes, seeing those Burger King commercials are almost as bad as being "mimed" - and I mean by the real mimes of the late 1970's who used to haunt the Pacific Garden Mall of Santa Cruz, Calif. UUggghhhh...those mimes would make children cry - probably the only good thing of the PGM getting ruined by the earthquake was getting rid of the mimes. Now, if only we could assign an earthquake to the Burger King studios..................

i wish they'd come up with something else... i think they were trying to do something like Jack from Jack-in-the-Box, but his head was already out there!
