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)

Hahahahaha

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Monday, 7 March 2005 19:25 (twenty-one years ago)

god i luv that 'wake up with the king' ad

― j blount (papa la bas), Monday, 7 March 2005 19:29 (twenty-one years ago)

i went through a spell where i watched it four times a day. this was before dog judo, mind.

― mark p (Mark P), Monday, 7 March 2005 19:30 (twenty-one years ago)

Dog judo?

i didn't like these commercials

― Amateur(ist) (Amateur(ist)), Monday, 7 March 2005 19:52 (twenty-one years ago)

typical.

xpost Anthony, I don't think he's "serving it to us,": neither re the girls, they're just showing you how good it can be, how to do it, provinding An Example To Others, as my church youth group leaders would say. Darius is the MC, and providing a little mmod music, a little travelin' music for the hungry Miccio et al, and for the food about to travel down the ol Alimentary Canal. (OK: he's a misntrel too, but in the classical at east as much if not more than the nasty recent sense)(we're all hos in some sense or other, or I am)

― don, Monday, 7 March 2005 22:26 (twenty-one years ago)

I think the uproar amongst the dedicated remaining Hootie fans is the funniest part of all of this!

― donut debonair (donut), Monday, 7 March 2005 22:42 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm sure Burger King is worried about lost sales from the inevitable boycott!

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Monday, 7 March 2005 22:47 (twenty-one years ago)

This commercial ALMOST rivals their series of office-related spots. Almost.
-- Raymond Cummings (gracefulas...), March 7th, 2005.

oh man, those were terrible.

― Al (sitcom), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 00:21 (twenty-one years ago)

it was like watching clips from dress rehearsals for a bad NBC sitcom.

― Al (sitcom), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 00:22 (twenty-one years ago)

al otfm

― latebloomer: correspondingly more exaggerated mixing is a scarifying error. (lat, Tuesday, 8 March 2005 00:40 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah, I hated those. I also hate those smug IBM spots.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 00:41 (twenty-one years ago)

Which seem to be filmed in the same circle of hell.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 00:41 (twenty-one years ago)

wait are the ibm ones the ones with the monkeys and the guy says 'i work with a bunch of monkeys'? i luv those!

― j blount (papa la bas), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 00:43 (twenty-one years ago)

No, that's for a jobs website I think.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 00:44 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm thinking of the ones letterboxed in dark blue that for instance feature smug a*sholes sitting at a Parisian cafe talking about business. Awful.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 00:47 (twenty-one years ago)

yeah those people need to die a painful death.

― Stormy Davis (diamond), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 01:03 (twenty-one years ago)

i dunno, if found these bk commercials too camp -- not genuinely strange enough.

― Amateur(ist) (Amateur(ist)), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 01:40 (twenty-one years ago)

i just watched jan svankmeyers "faust" and the burger king character looks a bit like one of the creepy large marionette figures from the film.

― eman (eman), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 03:18 (twenty-one years ago)

i don't even know what these commercials are all about

― Darius Rucker Lookalike (deangulberry), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 03:20 (twenty-one years ago)

As for pure weirdness, BK has nothing on the Quizno's Subs ads of last year, with the singing amoeba-like critters extolling the virtues of the pepper bar.

― cdwill, Tuesday, 8 March 2005 03:26 (twenty-one years ago)

i still think that virgin mobile ad with the hair sandwich was the highwater mark of contemporary tv ad creativity.

dean, you're getting the line wrong!

― Amateur(ist) (Amateur(ist)), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 04:11 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh hell yeah, the bulging eyes and the "We love the subs!" singing.

SIKE-O-DELLIC

― Curious George Rides a Republican (Rock Hardy), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 04:15 (twenty-one years ago)

I want Darius Rucker in a Napoleon hat singing "We love the subs!"

― Curious George Rides a Republican (Rock Hardy), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 04:16 (twenty-one years ago)

I guess they're bunnies, not amoebas. Whatever.

― cdwill, Tuesday, 8 March 2005 04:29 (twenty-one years ago)

is that quiznos ad done by someone from b3ta.com?

― eman (eman), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 04:34 (twenty-one years ago)

You have to see the Quiznos clots *move* to get the true hideous impact.

― don, Tuesday, 8 March 2005 05:26 (twenty-one years ago)

The Quiznos ad with spongmonkeys (the official name for the critters, according to their creator) are my favorite 30 seconds of television. Of All Time.

Full lyric:

We love the suuubs
Cause they are good to us
The Quiznos suuubs
(crescendo) They are tasty they are crunchy they are warm because they toast them
They've got a pepper baaaaaarrrrrrghhh!

― joseph cotten (joseph cotten), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 05:49 (twenty-one years ago)

i knew it had something to do with b3ta (and joel veitch)!

i love this commercial. i sing along to it. yay for darius!

― maria tessa sciarrino (theoreticalgirl), Monday, 14 March 2005 05:31 (twenty-one years ago)

vida those are some very effective commercials vida

― natlawdp, Monday, 14 March 2005 18:16 (twenty-one years ago)

two weeks pass...

I'm amazed at the love for this commercial. Ugh.

― Edward Bax (EdBax), Wednesday, 30 March 2005 02:52 (twenty-one years ago)

Why are you amazed? What is the problem? It's a great spot. If I ate crap, I'd buy it. Though I've never, ever seen aldies with a nice caboose at BK--false advertising.

― Allyzay Subservient 50s-Type (allyzay), Wednesday, 30 March 2005 04:13 (twenty-one years ago)

i think one of my coworkers is close to killing me because i sing it all the fucking time since it's stuck in my head and has been for the last three weeks and it will never ever leave no matter what.

― Zack Richardson (teenagequiet), Wednesday, 30 March 2005 05:38 (twenty-one years ago)

I was mildly amused by it a few weeks ago but i believe prolonged exposure may induce homicidal tendencies in anyone within earshot of it. I want that tendercrispbaconchedaarraaaanch! KILLKILLKILL!!!

― jmeister (jmeister), Wednesday, 30 March 2005 06:16 (twenty-one years ago)

the tendercrispbaconcheddarraaaaanch, the tendercrispbaconchedderraaaanch

COME AND GET IT!

― Stormy Davis (diamond), Wednesday, 30 March 2005 07:42 (twenty-one years ago)

five months pass...

I miss this.

― PB, Thursday, 8 September 2005 03:30 (twenty years ago)

are you jonesin' for a treat?

― my name is john. i reside in chicago. (frankE), Thursday, 8 September 2005 03:40 (twenty years ago)

I sang half of this commercial on a roadtrip this weekend, with all improvised words. I think it involved sandwich-fucking!

― mike h. (mike h.), Thursday, 8 September 2005 03:58 (twenty years ago)

sixteen years pass...

Darius Rucker's version of "Nothing Else Matters" on the Metallica black album covers comp isn't half bad. Not as great as the Burger King commercial that kicked off his country career, though.

― j.o.h.n. in evanston (john. a resident of chicago.), Friday, 10 September 2021 17:52 (four years ago)

I still remember every word of this song. BK had a pretty cool marketing department for a while.

― frogbs, Friday, 10 September 2021 17:54 (four years ago)

Agreed! I still love the song and the ad.
