BK Comercials - I hope the King gets it in the end

I think all Burger king comercials are terrible. Every time I see one I wonder what the writers were smoking when they came up with it. What's more I wonder who at BK thought that the king was a good idea, and why hasn't he been fired? The king is scary in my opinion, and makes me want to run as far away from BK as possible.

The latest round of BK comercials are somewhat different. They feature a group of moms who are trying to kill the king. They have tried to accomplish this in many ways. Hiring a hit man, cutting his brake lines in his car, they even tried to run him over with thier own car.

I'm hoping that these women will be sucessful in the end of this group of commercials. I like to see the last of the king. I'll probably stand up and cheer if they do.

I hate the King. He is very scary.

I personally am not a big fan of the new commercials either, but I hope they finally kill that big-headed creep.

I saw a Burger King guy at Halloween this year. I might be him next year. the guy i saw didn't have hand bling. The Burger King does wear the bling on the fingers. I actually prefer Burger King over McDonald's and would be completely self sufficient, not having a single McDonald's need ever if they didn't have the product they call sundae with the caramel and peanuts.

The Burger King is in my corner. I'll never eat a Big Mac. The Croissantwich breakfast sandwich owns.

This all reminds me of the Dalmation ditching the Clydedales wagon to jump into a Miller Lite distributors' truck. Gee I wonder who represented by the Clydedales?

All you guys are talking about Burger King...so...

The Commercials Work, and whoever wrote them or came up with them did a good job.

We might be talking about it, but I haven't been to a BK since they brought out the creepy king.

That's ok. I went plenty of times to make up your absence. Over the summer I collected all 16 of their talking Simpsons figurines. Thank goodness I didn't have to buy a kids meal every single time to get a figurine. Regardless of brand I didn't want to eat hamburgers that often a week. I didn't see "Supersize Me" but I didn't want to go anywhere close to that.

This one doesn't have the King, but it's one of my favorites:

Funny how they took a character that has been part of the chain since the beginning and made him really creepy looking. I liked the more cartoonish version they had of the king when I was a kid.

The King commercials are 100x better than anything McDonald's or Wendy's have done in the past year. If I ate any fast food, BK would definitely be getting my money.

Didn't this modern version of the King start with him playing football? Gee, what demographic is talking about him now?

They still have the kid friendly one on all of the kids meal stuff.

^^Yeah I remember the first time they showed the new one playing football. lol a year or two ago I started to cut down on my BK intake, mainly because I prefer to eat in the store and I was always too late. After a few months of me not going there all the time, they closed down. I have to wonder, was my usual two double cheesburgers with a medium value menu the only thing keeping them alive? It is now a DQ grill and chill...
