How come no one has said anything about Darius Rucker's Burger King commercial?

i was paying more attention to the ladies (tender) asses on the railroad pumping car thingy. it seems there are two versions of this commercial, as i saw a shortened version with less sexiness going on.

so is the sandwich good or what? i kinda like BK, shamefully.

SHAMEFUL, BRO

please tell me this one features big rock candy mountain as a lyrical bass--because if it does, we have a 1930s hobo folk song being updated (as disco hip hop crunk) to sell fast food, and if that is the case, it has reached bizzarre levels of postmodern new hisoricism.

Yes, it's to the tune of "BRCM".

I really want this sandwich and I wasn't able to get it two days ago and I forgot to get it sunday and I really want it now but I woke up early cuz I got drunk early last night and ARRRRRGH why can't I get this sandwich at 9am. I want it.

― miccio (miccio), Monday, 7 March 2005 13:48 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't care if Hootie blows the queen of england. I just want a tender crispy bacon cheddar ranch chicken sandwich!

― miccio (miccio), Monday, 7 March 2005 13:49 (twenty-one years ago)

its more complicated then that--its like, you know the poor had to dream about food (and liqour) because they could not get it, because big corprations are evil--but now burger king is sayiung not only do we love (camp/kitsch/nostalgia/artifice) we love you enough to provide you with cheap, available food t hat is good enough for your hobo ancestors to give up paradise for--but it will be served to you by a black man in a cowboy outfit.

(that said, its amazingly fotographed, and it caught me/gave me pangs)

― anthony easton (anthony), Monday, 7 March 2005 13:54 (twenty-one years ago)

ARRRRRGH why can't I get this sandwich at 9am.

I thought Burger King was all about serving their entire menu morning, noon, and night?

Anyway, thanks JoB, for that link. I like that Subservient Chicken is in the background of the commercial, too!

they are? i hope you're right cuz I'm headed over in an hour then! I haven't gone there in years.

You really don't. I was sold on the wonder of this sammich before Hootie & Brooke hopped on board. Hop off before it's too late.

― David R. (popshots75`), Monday, 7 March 2005 14:09 (twenty-one years ago)

I could be wrong, Anthony, but I thought they had a big ad campaign about that a few years back -- kind of a "your way, right away, whenever you fucking want it" sort of thing. I don't think it was McDonald's, since I think it was one of those things that Burger King came up with to further distinguish themselves from McD's.

I could use a walk anyway. Full review in two hours.

Yo, that Old Navy commercial with the girl getting all ecstatic about history class ROCKED! ("The Effects Of Feel-Good Fashion") Too bad it only aired for a week or three.

― Myonga Von Bontee (Myonga Von Bontee), Monday, 7 March 2005 14:43 (twenty-one years ago)

If it would be possible to describe a television commerical for a fast food chain featuring a musician whose music I have never cared for but I am sure is pleasant enough human being as "haunting" and/or "sppoky", then I would submit that this commerical is both "haunting" and "spooky". In a good sense.

― chris besinger (chris besinger), Monday, 7 March 2005 14:45 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm sure there are people at Burger King that are acstatic that people are talking about Burger King once again. But even if you love Mr. Hootie, are you any more inclined to eat a Whopper?

(joke makes itself, don't bother.)

― dave225 (Dave225), Monday, 7 March 2005 15:20 (twenty-one years ago)

i wonder if darius rucker was the first choice for this...

― john'n'chicago, Monday, 7 March 2005 15:38 (twenty-one years ago)

This commercial ALMOST rivals their series of office-related spots. Almost.

― cutty (mcutt), Monday, 7 March 2005 17:01 (twenty-one years ago)

i don't want the sammich, i want a chick with a nice caboose. but yeah, genuis ad.

― hstencil (hstencil), Monday, 7 March 2005 18:29 (twenty-one years ago)

tender crisp bacon cheddar ranch
bacon ranch dressing that flows up to your knees
tumbleweeds of bacon
cheddar paves the streets
red onions make you weep
french fries grow like weeds

― cutty (mcutt), Monday, 7 March 2005 18:34 (twenty-one years ago)

It is an excellent spot. But obviously a rip-off on those Morgan Fairchild "Old Navy" commercials.

Brooke Burke: "Come annnnn get it!"

Genius.

― PB, Monday, 7 March 2005 18:37 (twenty-one years ago)

it could use more ranch but I still enjoyed it a lot

― miccio (miccio), Monday, 7 March 2005 18:40 (twenty-one years ago)

― Amateur(ist) (Amateur(ist)), Monday, 7 March 2005 18:55 (twenty-one years ago)

― j blount (papa la bas), Monday, 7 March 2005 19:07 (twenty-one years ago)

isn't there another burger king ad where some dude wakes up with the burger king in his bed and it's very awkward, there's this definite "did we have sex?" vibe hanging in the air?

― j blount (papa la bas), Monday, 7 March 2005 19:10 (twenty-one years ago)

yes, it is so fucking hilarious. the burger king touches his leg and it gets all awkward.

i love this commercial, but i didnt recognize that it was hootie.

there is another commercial "where some dude wakes up with the burger king in his bed and it's very awkward, there's this definite "did we have sex?" vibe hanging in the air?"

is it online? ive got to see this.

― AaronK (AaronK), Monday, 7 March 2005 19:18 (twenty-one years ago)

mark just posted it right above you.

― cutty (mcutt), Monday, 7 March 2005 19:20 (twenty-one years ago)

I will never tire of the "I'd hit it" ad. We're a few months from "Taco Bell? Stick it on my dick!"

― miccio (miccio), Monday, 7 March 2005 19:21 (twenty-one years ago)

haha jon w posted a great parody of it that was basically the same banner ad as above, identical font etc, only the text was 'double cheese burger? i'd go down on them meatflaps'.

― j blount (papa la bas), Monday, 7 March 2005 19:24 (twenty-one years ago)

Seems a no-brainer that Dairy Queen should've snagged him first.
