1. Too bad
I laughed my ass off the first time I saw it. I still think it's very funny.

2. Brooke Burke is a sellout to Murder King.
That commercial sucks.

3. Is it the one that is a parody of "Big Rock Candy Mountain"?
That sucks. BRCM is a flawless populist song of the Great Depression era and Burger King is shamelessly whoring it to sell crappy sammiches. Just not fair.

4. There really is too much hate in the world
Please refrain from expending energy to hate a TV commercial.

The world will thank you.

Peace,

Floog

7. I love it. Best ad on TV.
It's like one of my dreams, especially with the surreal cameo appearances of Brooke Burke and the Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders.

8. The worst is the pederastic Dr. Pepper commercial
Edited on Thu Mar-10-05 11:51 PM by ZombyWoof
Using that gawdawful 'Stacy's Mom' song, and the leering soccer robot mom, who seems more interested in the preteen boys than they are in her, despite the lyrical content.

It's just creepy and unsettling, and I usually let the idiocy off commericials roll of my back.

11. Ironically...
It is worse with the sound off. Which is how I usually suffer the ads.

13. That's a sick one, and that song is horrible.
There's something very wrong about a commercial that subtly sends the message that these adolescents want to fuck Timmy's mom.

And did I mention the song was bad?

16. They look more like 10 or 11
And! If what you said isn't enough, she has this weird smirk, as if she KNOWS that, and enjoys the attention.

And wants to return it, maybe in the van when they dump the cooler of Dr. Pepper.

Where's Dalton when you need him?

17. He'd give them all a righteous ass-kicking!
And tell them about the search for truth and the meaning of life! And then he'd do tai chi!

12. Hootie! Ye hath sunk so low. I feel so embarrassed for him.
I wasn't the biggest Hootie and the Blowfish fan, but damn.

He seems unnatural and stiff, and just....geez. Poor guy.

Makes me not want to go to Burger King even more!

15. I was way ahead of you on that one.
I already didn't want to go to Burger King!

I might add, though, that that big-plastic-headed King is really scary.

14. That's Hootie singing!
Not that I'm a big fan of his. He was inescapable back around 1994-1995.
